    @kareninlux I feel your pain. This is my first month. They are getting easier, but not very fast!

    The secret is that you don't want them to get easier. When they do, mix it up or do longer ones so they are hard again. ;) Show those abs who's boss!

    8/3: 20 seconds
    8/4: 30 seconds
    8/6: 35 seconds
    8/7: 40 seconds
    8/8: 40 seconds

    8/22: 5 x 20 seconds
    8/23: 2:15
    8/25: 4 x 30 seconds (2 each of regular and forearm)
    12:05/26:55 completed

    I have almost 8 minutes left, and I am wondering if I can manage 4 minutes per day tomorrow and the 31st to meet this goal. I may do 2 minutes each morning and evening. Sounds like torture, though!
