    Well, I have! Did I mention that my son is planking alone, his style?😁

    @jeffrey_ad, I need to thank you very very much indeed for this challenge! It keeps me sane when I have no time for workouts, though I had no idea what they were when I started. Gives me a good feeling about having accomplished something fitnesswise for the day.
    Also, I managed to do pushups, for the first time ever! I often felt sad that I wasnt able to lift my shoulders from the floor, when I otherwise carried my boys on my shoulders even when they were 4!

    Sorry for the long post. THANK YOU!

    Looks like 3min are optimal, but I guess I'll push myself a little further and aim for 4:00 next month, on average :wink: I do mixed, don't imagine I can hold one position for more than 45 sec.

    Congrats to everyone that met/exceeded their goal! You are really an inspiration.

    I had hoped to get a bit closer to 50 mins by the end of the month. I shouldn’t have taken those 10 days off. Since I was able to start holding the planks for longer, I think I will see about increasing my goal next month.

    Nice job to everyone! 43 minutes in planks for the month, way under my goal. I'll hit that goal in February!
