Do you do planks?

If not, why not? Core strength is key.

I'm getting back into shape and I can barely do 15 seconds. I used to be able to do at least a minute.

I'm hoping incorporating this into my weekly routine will help me with the motivation to get out of some bad habits.
I have sampled every language and French is my favorite to curse in.

I do them at the end of my one of my lower body days (not in this training blocks, but it makes an appearance every few months)

I do weighted planks.

Why? For full development of abdominal muscles and strength/stability

Nope. Reason: simply cannot be bothered.

I love doing planks. I do them when warming up. 2 minutes is my record for now.

I also suck at them.

Been doing 5 sets of 35 seconds, with 30 seconds breaks. Will be gradually increasing length of hold.

Never done them before

Yep, doing planks 3 times a week (5x30s) fixed all my lower back problems.

Kind of.

I do slow declined pushups with my feet up on a chair or bench and they get done at the same time.

I'd like to get to a point where I can do a full planche, but that's pretty far off.

I'll have to work up to that over time.

I used to be able to do 30 pushups now I can barely manage 5 and it kinda pisses me off, and I went from doing up to 10 pullups to .5. Started doing negatives to try and get back to 1+.
