Planking: How it became popular today?

That is also unknown to me, many people used to do it nowadays. All you need is a model or even yourself if you do planking as well, cameras off course no need to be that much expensive or of high resolution, even just a cell phone camera will do but if you want a clearer image, well it’s up to you already and lastly different venues you want to do your planking thing. It’s up to you where do you want to do planking; you can do it anywhere, even on silly places.

One day while my brother is browsing on his facebook, he showed me lots of pictures of people who are planking anywhere, someone do it in different roads, someone do it on stairs, comfort rooms, tables, computer shops, bridges, flyovers, sidewalks, etc etc.

A friend of mine also showed me more pictures of people doing it, through their university’s fan page on facebook, I was shocked to see pictures of students from Trinity University of Asia, doing the same thing in different places, like on roads, on top of a car, at school entrance, on their classrooms, laboratory rooms, etc etc.






I saw another fan page on facebook about planking; it was named “Planking Pinas”, so I tried to click the like button to enter the said fan page. Going on the page, I saw, huge pictures of people doing it as well; they do it on sports arena, fast food chains, rails of the stairs, and trash cans even at the roof of their homes. I think it started outside the country, no idea where planking really began, but one thing is for sure, as it was introduced here in the country, it grew faster and became popular.







So an idea comes on my brother’s mind, since he has a camera, he wanted to do the same thing. What’s more interesting is that the model for his planking thing was our 2 year old nephew JV. As I observed JV doing it, he was hesitant to do it at first, maybe he was wondering what was he doing, and why his uncle enjoying doing it. But as the time goes by, JV began to enjoy it as well. If he is being asked to plank, he voluntarily goes to a place where he is being directed to plank, on dining table, terrace, stairs, kitchen, cartons, chairs, headboard, even inside the cabinet. It seems like JV is enjoying a lot, given that he is also a camera addict. He always smiles and sometimes poses every time we are taking pictures of him. Now that he already knows how to plank, what can I say? More planking to come!!!!








Plank Safe! :)
