    March 8: 1 min (4x15 sec intervals)
    March 9: 1 min (4x15 sec intervals)
    March 10: 1 min (2x15 sec intervals; 3x10 sec intervals)
    March 11: 1 min (1x20 sec interval; 2x15 sec intervals) I pushed for the extra 5 secs on the first interval. I have to be honest and admit that I had no idea planks were so hard! Thanks Alzzi76 for the support!
    **Just realized I forgot my 1x10 sec interval on March 11th.**
    March 12: 1 min 20 sec (2x10 sec intervals; 3x20 sec intervals) That extra 20 secs were killer, but I know I am going to have to pick it up in order to make my 30 mins for the month.
    March 13: 1 min 40 sec (4x10 sec intervals; 3x20 sec intervals) **7 mins total so far.
    March 14: 2 mins (6x20 sec intervals) **9 mins total.
    March 15: 2 mins (6x20 sec intervals) **11 mins total.
    March 16: 2 mins (6x20 sec intervals) **13 mins total.
    March 17: 2 mins (6x20 sec intervals) **15 mins total.
    March 18: NCAA tourney rest day...(Go Heels!)
    March 19: 1 min (3x20 sec intervals) **16 mins total.
    March 20: (No planks today. Day spent at hospital welcoming 1st grandchild. She is beautiful!!!)
    March 21: 1 min (3x20 sec intervals) **17 mins total.
    March 22: 2 min (6x20 sec intervals) **19 mins total.
    March 23: 2 min (6x20 sec intervals) **21 mins total.
    March 24: 2 min (4x30 sec intervals) **23 mins total. I am trying to increase my stamina, so I increased my plank time to 30 secs each. The extra 10 secs per plank were killer!! I am so amazed at all of you who do longer planks!

    Ha ha, reverse planks for everyone! I ran across that exercise in a Fitness Blender workout earlier in the winter and couldn't get my hips into anything even vaguely resembling correct form. It really is amazing to go back to something like that after a few weeks/months and realize how much progress I've made. I used my birthday gift card from the in-laws to buy a phone tripod, so as of tomorrow I'll be able to film myself to check my form - fun!

    3/1: 4 minutes mixed
    3/2: 5 minutes mixed
    3/3: 5 minutes mixed
    3/4: 1 minute mixed
    3/5: 2 minutes mixed (knee)
    3/6: 2 minutes mixed (knee)
    3/7: -
    3/8: 5 minutes mixed (knee)
    3/9: -
    3/10: 5 minutes mixed (knee and full extension)
    3/11: 2 minutes mixed (full extension)
    3/12: 1 minute mixed
    3/13: -
    3/14: 5 minutes mixed (first time trying rotating and reverse planks - fun!)
    3/15: 4:40 minutes mixed
    3/16: 4 minutes mixed
    3/17: -
    3/18: 5 minutes mixed (3 minutes of rotating planks! This might be my new favorite thing. I need to work out a better timing system, though.)
    3/19: 5 minutes mixed
    3/20: -
    3/21: 5 minutes mixed
    3/22: -

    @b3achy Hey girl!!

    Always enjoyed this challenge. I keep it going because I believe it has made my core stronger and keeping it going keeps me going as well. We're had a really good month this month, hoping they all come back next month and bring friends! ;)

    Three minutes to go for my 90 minute goal! My evening core workout is really starting to come together. I've been doing a light 5 minute warm up, then some glute, hamstring, and core exercises (partly assigned by the chiropractor to help with my knee and back, partly from Strong Curves), five minutes of planks, and five minutes of static stretching. Picking up a yoga mat so I can do this upstairs instead of in my basement gym has helped keep the excuses to a minimum. I'm actually quite proud of my little gym, but sometimes in the evening I need a little extra push.

    March 10: 1 min (2x15 sec intervals; 3x10 sec intervals)
    March 11: 1 min (1x20 sec interval; 2x15 sec intervals) I pushed for the extra 5 secs on the first interval. I have to be honest and admit that I had no idea planks were so hard! Thanks Alzzi76 for the support!
    **Just realized I forgot my 1x10 sec interval on March 11th.**
    March 12: 1 min 20 sec (2x10 sec intervals; 3x20 sec intervals) That extra 20 secs were killer, but I know I am going to have to pick it up in order to make my 30 mins for the month.

    Can't believe I somehow missed marking the March challenge...not that I did any planks...but I'm determined to get back to it in April, so I'm marking this now so I see when you post April's. Looked back last couple pages. Let me know @Spliner1969 if I did miss it. Thanks!!
