Questions, answered
Do I need to be fit already?
A manageable start and controlled form matter more. The baseline challenge minimum is 30 seconds. If that is not comfortable yet, prepare first and discuss participation with the organizer.
How long is a season?
One cycle is 28 days with 24 reporting days. Confirm dates and rest days in your group. This is the challenge format, rather than a universal training program.
Can I train at home or while traveling?
Yes, with a level, non-slip surface, enough space and the ability to record a report under the rules. In public spaces, keep clear of people, traffic and platform edges.
What happens if I miss a day?
A missed day is closed with a buyout, and the number of buyouts is not limited in Classic or Hard mode. But each next one costs more: the price follows a ladder and then stays at the top step. Note: if you finish the season, your entry fee comes back even if you used buyouts. Exact amounts and deadlines are in your group rules.
What is the mini app for?
PlankApp helps prepare report text and shows your calendar, progress, rankings and records. You send your video and report to the chat yourself. Open it through Telegram for personal data.
