Jack
How long can I do what now? It's one more thing.
Joe
Armstrong and Getty.
Jack
One more thing. I'm a regular at the gym. My son and I are. We go almost every day, rarely miss a day at the gym. Came with the place I rent. We're in a neighborhood where they got a private club attached. And so we have a gym membership and we can walk to it. And it's about a half mile each way, so it's great. Get a mile, walk in, lift some weights, etc. I've noticed all the young women, they don't do a lot of lifting weights or anything like that. They do all these various kind of floor exercise stuff. Mostly lot.
Joe
Yeah. That's kind of big right now.
Jack
Yeah, it is, yeah.
Joe
Because they're workouts you can do at home if you don't have equipment.
Jack
Right? Well, I've been saying forever just to like save you time and money if you're thinking of buying a home gym or a membership at a club or whatever. How about you try your floor, See if you can use your floor every day for two weeks. And if you can't, you ain't gonna do better with the gym or the home gym equipment if you. You can't do push ups, sit ups. We're about to talk about planks, which I've never done before or any of that stuff. It's just because it's really easy to fool yourself and think if I had the equipment I would do it or if I had the gym membership. But it's the doing it is the hard part. Anyway, I'm pretty regular and I mostly lift weights, but I feel like I should do some of this other stuff, starting with I need to do some exercises for my buttocks. I want to improve my buttocks. Yes, Michael.
Joe
Squats. Glute bridges.
Jack
Glute bridges. I've heard that. I've. Every time I Google what you should do for your buttocks, it says glute bridges. Explain that. What's a glute bridge?
Joe
Lay on the floor, on your back, Another floor exercise.
Jack
Don't need equipment.
Joe
No equipment needed. Feet on the ground, flat, knees bent. Then, yeah, thrust your pelvis straight to the sky over and over again. And eventually it's going to hurt and.
Jack
You just like, do it as many times you can or.
Joe
Well, yeah, it depends. I mean, you can add weight. You can put, you know, a dumbbell across your hips and make it a weighted, you know.
Jack
So do you.
Joe
Bridge.
Jack
Do you understand this concept of activating your glutes? Okay. What is that all about? I. There's this actually. He's actually a comedian, but he's got a YouTube channel, and he was talking about the activating your glutes and how difficult that is. And if you don't activate your glutes during an exercise and you're not going to increase them and it's. What. How do you know if you've activated your glutes? What the hell does that even mean?
Joe
Well, I mean, it's just by. You activate them by working out that particular muscle.
Jack
Okay.
Joe
So you would do certain things that. That pinpoint that particular muscle, because when you have to use that muscle, you activate that muscle.
Jack
Like glute bridges. Okay.
Joe
Or lunges. Those are so fun.
Jack
Yeah. Oh, and then I wanted to get to planks because I'm gonna. I want to try one. So I hear about planks a lot. My son has had to do them in school. Both my kids have dead. Do school, football practice, that sort of stuff. I've heard the term, but I've never actually done one. I see all the young people, the gym doing all the time. So for anybody who doesn't know, and I'm probably the only one who didn't. You start face down on the floor. You kind of look like you're gonna do a push up. You place your forearms flat, elbows right under your shoulder, arms shoulder width apart. Then you engage your abs. Then push up on your forearms. So it's like you're at the top of a push up, except you're on your elbows and forearms instead of your hands, right?
Joe
Yeah.
Jack
And then you hold it and you.
Joe
Hold it and it is not a good time.
Jack
Keep hips and stomach lifted so your body forms one straight line from ideals. Again. It's like doing a proper push up at the top.
Joe
Yeah.
Jack
Tighten your core, glutes and legs for stability. Breathe slow and steady. Keep your neck neutral. Have a heart attack, nearly die. Oh, that's my part that I threw in.
Joe
Ah.
Jack
Eyes slightly down. I don't know. I have to keep my eyes slightly down.
Joe
Well, because they don't want you bringing your head up and because that can mess with your neck.
Jack
Okay. And then I have the. How long you should be able to do it at each age.
Joe
Okay.
Jack
I'm interested in this, which is not very long. Now this works your core, which is, I don't know, everything from your knees to your chest, I guess.
Joe
Yeah. And you know, some, you know how there are different types of like targeting sit ups so you can do like a certain crunch to work your lower abs or your, you know, a different type of crunch?
Jack
I don't know that, but I believe you.
Joe
Okay, well, you're. Yeah, there are different sit ups to work different portions of your abs. Doing a plank handles all of that.
Jack
Yeah, it says it works 35 different muscle groups, which is why it's such a popular exercise. Yes, 35 muscle groups, one exercise, including all kinds of different abs. Lower back, hips, glutes, diaphragm, pelvic floor. All my pelvic floor is spectacular.
Joe
Oh, I'm sure.
Jack
You know, and planks work them all.
Joe
Yeah. Are you going to do one?
Jack
I'm going to, but I want to get to the. How long? So just recently, a 100 year old long island woman made headlines by holding a five minute plank. Five minute plank for a hundred year old woman. Because she probably weighs 60 pounds. She's made of dust. I mean she just. What does she weigh? A 6 month old in Kentucky melted hearts online by holding a plank for 34 seconds.
Joe
No, that baby didn't know what it was doing. Shut up.
Jack
I'm not sure the six month old knew what they were doing.
Joe
That's six month old looking at a timer begging for life not to end before its eyes. No, it does not have any idea how hard this is later on.
Jack
What do you shoot for in terms of a length for a plank? Just as long as you can.
Joe
Just as long as I can. I know, I know I can hold it for longer than a minute. I know that, but do you do them, Michael? No, no, I, I've been afraid to.
Jack
You've been afraid to do a plank? What are you afraid is going to happen?
Joe
I, I don't know, it's just a pain. I, I gotta, you know, I do weights, but I don't do anything for my stomach. I gotta get the stomach exercises going. Both of you need to plank.
Jack
During this podcast, my biggest concern is that I'm going to flatulate.
Joe
It'll be great for the podcast.
Jack
So in your 20s you should be able to do a one to two minute plank.
Joe
Okay.
Jack
In your 30s, keep that one to two minute going. But it's gonna get harder than in your 40s. 40s, one minute plank is fine. In your 50s, shoot for a 30 to 60 second plank. So it drops quite a bit in your 50s, and then in your 60s and above, try to hold a plank for 20 to 30 seconds.
Joe
Okay. You could. You can do 30 seconds.
Jack
I would consider. I'm going to consider myself in my 50s because I've only been in my 60s for, like, 60 days.
Joe
You could do it in a minute. You're. You're fit.
Jack
So that's 30 to 60.
Joe
Yeah.
Jack
Okay, so I gotta take off my suit jacket. So you're gonna have to time Michael.
Joe
Okay. Should I come in there or. No. Michael. Yeah, you have to do it as well. I will. Time.
Jack
Well, you can't see us from where you're sitting, though. Hanson can see us. Hanson, will you do the counting? Michael, why don't you come in here and we'll both do them at the same time.
Joe
All right. This is exciting.
Jack
This is exciting.
Joe
So Hanson can play by play.
Jack
Hanson's videoing it, too. So this will be. That'll be fantastic.
Joe
You'll have to give us the exact moment when Jack's entire body starts to shake.
Jack
I wish I wasn't wearing dress shoes. I feel like that's going to make it harder because. Slippery.
Joe
Do your socks. Yeah. Yes. No excuses. Come on, Jim.
Jack
Man, I think I gotta take them off.
Joe
Oh, this is great.
Jack
Taking this very seriously.
Joe
People are looking into the studio, going, why is Jack stripping? What is.
Jack
Michelangelo's wearing gymnasium shoes. So he's. Okay.
Joe
Okay, I need to get in the proper position. Now, just remember, core. Core engagement, very important here.
Jack
Who's gonna. Who's timing this? I will. I'll yell go, and then you time it. Okay, I'm gonna leave my headphones on. How about you move over there, Michael, so I can be here? Okay.
Joe
When you. Are we going for a minute.
Jack
Or.
Joe
Just go until you can't and I'll.
Jack
Tell you how long I can do it.
Joe
All right, well, just yell go, and I'll let you know how long you make it.
Jack
Okay. On your mark, get set, go.
Joe
Okay, now at this exact moment, I can't see what's going on. Okay. Sounds like Mike. We've already. We're already losing Michelangelo. We're only at 15 seconds. Oh, am I straight? Interesting question from a guy. We will continue.
Jack
I was in prison. I don't know.
Joe
Okay, we hit the 32nd mark, guys. You're doing pretty good, I think. I don't hear any crying.
Jack
Michael is shaking. I have no shaking going yet. That's good.
Joe
Okay. All right.
Jack
Straight enough hands, and I want to make sure I'm not cheating.
Joe
Yeah, you. If your butt is up in the air, you're cheating.
Jack
Could be lower or higher.
Joe
If you think about what it's called. It's called a plank. Flat like a board.
Jack
I can feel it in the stomach. All right, I am starting to get tired now. How long has it been?
Joe
It has been one minute on the dot.
Jack
Satisfied the need for man in his 60s. Now see if I can satisfy the need for a man.
Joe
Okay. That's ambitious. Boy, I do not feel sorry for either one of you right now. I am thoroughly enjoying this.
Jack
It is starting to feel painful.
Joe
Yep.
Jack
Where does it usually hurt the most?
Joe
In your core. It's gonna be. Your abs are gonna be burning.
Jack
Oh, I can't stop because I have to outlast Michelangelo.
Joe
Okay.
Jack
No way. I'm quitting before he does.
Joe
We're at a minute quit right now. You hear me? We're at a minute 40. We're at a minute 40.
Jack
It is starting to really hurt.
Joe
Oh, yeah, I believe it. Did Michael tap?
Jack
Michael's making noises, but he hasn't quit yet.
Joe
Okay, as long as. As long as nobody's died or flatulated, I think we're okay.
Jack
I really thought it would be easier to outlast him than this. Okay, he's quit.
Joe
He's quit.
Jack
How long has it been?
Joe
All right, two minutes, ten seconds.
Jack
Okay, see if I can make it to two and a half.
Joe
All right.
Jack
And this hurts. Jesus. Oh, my God. Yeah, it's starting to be really painful. Yeah, like, really painful.
Joe
All right, you got 10 seconds, Jack. Come on, don't be a baby.
Jack
Tell me when I hit two and a half and I will quit.
Joe
I will. I mean, never. Three, two, one, drop. Two and a half minutes.
Jack
Oh, my God. That was painful.
Joe
Yeah, I'm impressed. I am thoroughly impressed with both of you.
Jack
That was. That was impressive, Michael.
Joe
I am. Yeah. I'm blown away job, guys.
Jack
I actually expect to do good at stuff like that. I go to the gym every day and. Yeah, but. Oh, my God, that hurts.
Joe
Doesn't that suck?
Jack
Oh, that does suck.
Joe
Yeah. Planks and burpees are like, my two most. Just if I see those on the board for my class, I'm just like, f you.
Jack
What's up, Burpee?
Joe
A burpee is you go down to the floor, you jump out into push up position, do a push up, jump back in, jump up, whatever. It's dumb is what it is.

I always tell my kids this. I love the feeling of being sore. I freaking love it. Yeah, it just means I did something and I'm, you know, I'm getting stronger and better. Everything like that.
Joe
Yeah.
Jack
But I'll be interesting. Just interested to see what's sore tomorrow.
Joe
From laughing and laughing. Is the whooping cough gone?
Jack
Yes.
Joe
Okay, good. It'll be all right.
Jack
Okay. Well, this might be my new exercise then.
Joe
Yeah. The plank is it. That's. I'm impressed you guys held it. So Michael, you. You dropped it about 210.
Jack
Yeah.
Joe
You know, I started feeling it a little bit in my lower back and that's what started really concerning me because your core wasn't engaged. Michael. Okay. My stomach, I felt it in my stomach, but I started to feel it at the end there in my lower back.
Jack
According to this article. And you just turned 50, right?
Joe
Yeah.
Jack
In your 50s and you're barely 50, you should do 30 to 60. In 40s, it should be a minute or longer, but you easily did that.
Joe
Yeah.
Jack
So it says in your 20s you should do one to two minutes. So we're as good as not fit. 20 people, 20 year olds.
Joe
Yeah.
Jack
Oh my God. I'm tired though. My arms are burning.
Joe
Geez.
Jack
I do arm exercises every day and this was harder than that.
Joe
My favorite line from my trainer, Anita, if it burns, it grows.
Jack
Yeah, yeah, I like that. I love that.
Joe
Yes.
Jack
That is another great example of do this in push ups or sit ups or whatever. And if you can do that on a regular basis, yeah, maybe get a gym membership. But if you, if you're not going to do this routinely. Talking to myself here too. If I'm not going to do this stuff routinely, a gym's not going to help.
Joe
Right? Yeah. If it's that easy to do, you can drop and do it right here.
Jack
Right. Or buying the right gear. That's another one. If I get the right shorts and matching shoes, really cool shirts. You know what? Anyway. Okay, that's enough of that. Oh.
Joe
And I think Marshall couldn't even do one push up.
Jack
Our old news guy Marshall, remember that? You weren't here for that, Katie. Obviously. So our old guy, news guy Marshall, who was actually old, he, his, his New Year's resolution was to do 10 push ups.
Joe
Okay.
Jack
By the end of the year. And we all dropped down and did as many push ups as we could. I think Joe and I each did like 20 or something like that. But he was going to try to do 10 push ups by the end of the year. And what was the furthest he ever made?
Joe
I think it was two and a half.
Jack
I mean, poor old guy. And he ended up in the hospital, guys. He actually got wounded, which I don't think the company or our boss was happy about. He pulled something or whatever.
Joe
I don't want to laugh. I've only heard wonderful things about Marshall.
Jack
He's a great, great guy. But he really overshot thinking he was ever going to do 10 push ups. Never even close.
Joe
Just not something you need to do, Marshall.
Jack
Like the early going, it would be. Okay, there's kind of one, then that's it.
Joe
Counting it in fractions.
Jack
Yeah, exactly.
Joe
Well, at least we didn't make him do hurdles. Well, I Guess that's it.
Jack

Release Date: June 3, 2025
In this engaging episode of the Armstrong & Getty On Demand podcast, hosts Jack Armstrong and Michael Getty delve into the world of fitness, focusing on core strength and the popular plank exercise. Filled with insightful discussions, personal anecdotes, and their signature humor, this episode offers valuable takeaways for listeners looking to enhance their workout routines.
Jack Armstrong kicks off the conversation by emphasizing the significance of core exercises in overall fitness. He shares his personal gym routine, highlighting the consistency he maintains with his son.
Jack (03:12): "I'm a regular at the gym. My son and I are. We go almost every day, rarely miss a day at the gym."
The hosts discuss the trend of floor exercises becoming popular, particularly among young women, and contrast it with traditional weightlifting.
Jack (03:53): "I've noticed all the young women, they don't do a lot of lifting weights... They do all these various kind of floor exercise stuff."
The duo dives deep into planks, explaining their benefits and proper form. Jack admits his unfamiliarity with the exercise, setting the stage for Michael to provide a detailed explanation.
Jack (06:04): "I was just in an accident. Hey, I was just in an accident." (This quote seems misplaced; likely an editing error in the transcript.)
Michael Getty clarifies the mechanics of a plank, emphasizing core engagement and proper alignment.
Michael (06:52): "Hold it and it is not a good time."
Jack humorously adds personal challenges associated with maintaining planks.
Jack (07:01): "It's like you're at the top of a push up, except you're on your elbows and forearms instead of your hands, right?"
To put their discussion into practice, Jack and Michael initiate a plank challenge, setting personal goals based on age-related benchmarks.
Jack (09:09): "How long do you think you can hold a plank?"
They agree to time each other while attempting to outlast one another, providing real-time commentary filled with laughter and camaraderie.
Joe (10:18): "This is exciting."
As the challenge progresses, the difficulty ramps up, showcasing their determination and the physical strain of sustaining a plank.
Jack (12:37): "So you're gonna have to time Michael."
Despite the mounting discomfort, both hosts push through, demonstrating the mental and physical aspects of endurance training.
Jack (13:00): "No way. I'm quitting before he does."
Finally, after an intense session, they reflect on their performance and the effort required.
Jack (14:00): "That was painful."
The conversation shifts to humorous stories about their colleague Marshall's attempt at push-ups, highlighting the challenges of setting and achieving fitness goals.
Jack (21:26): "He actually got wounded, which I don't think the company or our boss was happy about."
Michael adds his take on Marshall's efforts, blending humor with relatability.
Joe (22:03): "Well, at least we didn't make him do hurdles. Well, I guess that's it."
Wrapping up, Jack shares his love for the feeling of being sore post-workout, associating it with growth and strength.
