    on facebook how did planking start?

    Planking: It's like this comp, where you've got to go to this awesome place, and just lay-down with your hands by your side and your face on the ground and a snap a photo and upload it on Facebook.

    They asked how, not when. When it started was in January 2009, not last Tuesday.

    General Information
    Planking is a simple yet effective procedure.

    'You got a body, you got a Plank' Ashley Wilson 11

    But one can't just go around lying down willy nilly, There are a few rules that need to be adhered to.

    When performing a Plank:

    1/ You must always lay face down, ensuring your face remains expressionless for the duration of the Plank.

    2/ Your legs must remain straight, and together with toes pointed.

    3/ Your arms must be placed by your side, held straight and fingers pointed.

    4/ You must make it known that you are Planking. Saying 'I am Planking' usually get this across. Sternly announcing it will ensure a good result.

    5/ Your safety should always be considered. Properly thought through Planking procedures should always go to plan. Never put your self at undue risk, unless you are a seasoned Planker.

    6/ First Aid should never be far away. Ice, Bandaids, Cast Plaster, needle and thread, emotional support and a quick escape route need to be on hand.

    7/ Every Plank that is captured must be named.

    Happy Planking. (read less)

    Honestly? :-))

    really than my sisters made it up because they've been doing it a lot longer than last tuesday.
    planking is a yoga pose and I am guessing it has been around since the serious practice in Hindi since antiquity. the marriage of facebook, photography and a sacred physical religious practice leads me to ponder the endless mysteries involved in taking these things to their lowest potential; perhaps the question should be WHY?
