    Oct 10 - 2 min - 2 x 3 x 20 sec - following the link (MFP blog article on better planks) I tried to apply rules #1 & #2 and boy does it feel harder but more satisfying. This will be my go-to now. Shorter bursts and squeezing in glutes as well.

    Thanks for that. I had read about RKC planks a while back, but didn’t apply them ever since. Well times have changed :-)
    Thanks for sharing.

    Tomorrow I'll leave the house at 7 and return at 11 pm. 10 hrs on the road. I doubt I'll be able to do anything (but maybe before leaving 🤔).

    Yes! I did it! Thank you @jeffrey_ad for this! I 😍 it, for the feeling of accomplishment that it gives me. The commitment. For proving myself that I can be consistent!
