    :)@DebbieNeedham1 Don't feel too bad for me..LOL! I went to a baseball game last night and was home late. Completely self inflicted! There may have been beer, a hotdog and a soft pretzel consumed last night :D
  • Hi ALL! This sounds like a great challenge. I started doing them again a few weeks back, so I’m jumping in!
  • 1 minute and 4 seconds!

    @Joanna2012B - I like your thinking!! so instead of doing 1 plank of that length - we break it down into shorter planks - so long as we hit or exceed the total??? That makes much more sense!!! and more achieveable!!

    Of course @DebbieNeedham1! I would like to be able to do a 90 second plank all at once but I am not gonna stress if I can't! I suspect before the challenge is done we'll be able to!!

    I think today was day 11 for me. I'm losing track :). Tomorrow will be my scary jump to 90 seconds (or the closest I can get)!

    Dont worry if u cant do it in one go - I tried and failed!!!! And I am not the only one - the jump is pretty huge!! so we have said if we can do that amount in total - even if it takes us a couple of goes to total the amount - cos at the end of the day - that's what counts!!!

    Made it through day 12! I've been working on some other core exercises for a few months now and I feel like I'm finally making progress. A few months ago I tried a plank and could do 10-15 seconds at a time before needing a rest. All our work does add up!!

    Day 14 done, 90 seconds. Lost track of the days and thought today was the rest day. Being I thought yesterday was the day before rest I decided to go for it and max out time. Manged 130 seconds, which is about a 60% increase from day 1. Good progress for 2 weeks time!

    Day 15 done! @DebbieNeedham1 I found closing my eyes and focusing on slowing my breathing helped get through the entire 90 seconds. If I watch the clock I struggle more. Worth a try! Still doing great my friend!!!
