Cherry Hill, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/24/2015 -- As far as exercises go, planks – where an individual holds the entirety of their body weight on their hands or forearms and feet in a modified push-up position, working many muscle groups at once – may seem easy to an outside observer. The reality, though, is that most people, even those who are very physically fit, can't hold this demanding pose for very long. To provide incentive and friendly competition to members, Future Fitness Centers in Medford and Mt. Laurel recently held a TRX Plank competition, for which they have announced the winners.
At the Medford location, first place in the men's competition went to Tim Buchanan, age 32, with a time of 00:2:18, while first place in the women's division was taken by Mary Ellen Quinn, age 54, with an astounding 00:10:12 plank.
Meanwhile, at the Mount Laurel Future Fitness Center, the men's winner was Rob Austin, age 36, who held a 00:8:00 plank, while Laura Houseworth, age 44, won the women's competition with 00:7:09.
Both competitions were held on September 14th at 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. The first-place winners received a free month's membership to their Future Fitness Center. This plank competition was made even more difficult with the addition of a TRX element, suspending participants' feet rather than allowing them to rest on the ground; TRX is a suspension-based training that was born in the Navy SEALs and develops strength, flexibility, core stability and balance simultaneously, using a TRX Suspension Training system. Future Fitness Centers offers free TRX training demos to interested members, who can sign up at their location's front desk.
One of the highest-rated fitness centers in Moorestown and surrounding areas, Future Fitness Centers also provides its members with a host of unique amenities, including free access to Registered Dieticians, nurses, daycare and more.
