Hahaha indeed.  Yes the pig knows that it is not strong enough to move its massive girth.  This cow would not last 5 minutes in an actual yoga class. I have to correct something you said about chaturanga lasting only 1 second.  It should be timed with your breath so that you start in plank and then exhale to lower.  Exhales should be long and controlled.  When you have fully exhaled then you are at the low point of the plank with upper arms parallel to the floor and drawn in tight to ribs.  The way I practice is to squeeze the abs at the very end of exhale to get rid of that last bit of air in the pit of the diaphragm and it helps with abs. Only then do I come into upward dog on the inhale.  So depending on 1) efficiency of breathing, and 2) core and upper body strength, a chaturanga can last perhaps up to ten seconds or even more.  Some shitladies and their instructors are known to actually cycle through breaths while holding the low plank.  Obviously for badasses not fatasses.    I really appreciate your discussion of panniculus!  Thank you for enlightening me.
