    Yesterday the edict came to close sports centres so I can't go to the gym - will have to up my game at home.
    Going to add more core work and press ups. I get quite a lot of cardio work but need to work on strength and muscle.

    I thought this was an interesting video and perhaps someone else will think so too. If nothing else the beginning is funny, since I've been planking longer I've been finding speakers on You Tube to watch while I plank so I got a kick out of it. I'll probably get back to planking though once I'm up for it!

    25th 120 second planks with 30 sides, Joanna Soh's plank challenge. I may just stick with these two workouts for now since they both have plank varieties that are more challenging than holding an 8 minute plank. Not sure if I'll go back to sides or not, I do side ones with leg lifts in my ab workout.

    14th 6 minutes 30 seconds straight arm, 4 min 30 sec straight arm, 105 seconds each side 30 dips
    15th 6 minutes 30 seconds straight arm, 4 minutes 50 sec straight arm, 110 seconds each side 30 dips
    16th 6 minutes 30 seconds straight arm, Joanna Soh's plank challenge, 100 seconds each side 30 dips
    17th 6 minutes 40 seconds straight arm, Joanna Soh's plank challenge, 100 seconds each side 30 dips
    18th 7 minutes straight arm, yay! Joanna Soh's plank challenge, 110 seconds each side, 30 dips
    19th 7.5 minutes straight arm, Joanna Soh's plank challenge, 120 seconds each side 30 dips
    20th 8 minutes straight arm, Joanna Soh's plank challenge, 120 seconds each side 30 dips
    21st 4 minutes straight arm, Joanna Soh's plank challenge
    ===had to stop my planks as my back's acting up, I've had back surgeries and have chronic pain so I have to let it recover before doing more planks.
    23rd Didn't do my longer planks or Joanna Soh challenge but did an ab workout with 120 seconds planks and 30 second side planks each side.
    24th Regular planks on hold and will try tomorrow, did 120 seconds planks with 30 seconds planks each side.
    25th 120 second planks with 30 sides, Joanna Soh's plank challenge. I may just stick with these two workouts for now since they both have plank varieties that are more challenging than holding an 8 minute plank. Not sure if I'll go back to sides or not, I do side ones with leg lifts in my ab workout.
    26th Regular plank: 8 minutes 45 seconds, side planks 120 seconds with 30 side dips, Joanna Soh's 5 minute plank challenge
