    Total: 25 minutes (edit: total corrected)

    If anyone is wondering, my mixed planks usually look something like this now that I’ve settled into a routine:
    45 seconds of elbow planks
    20 seconds side plank right side
    20 seconds side plank left side
    35 seconds raised planks
    35 seconds elbow planks
    25 seconds elbow planks

    I have only started planks recently but have seen much improvement in my core strength. I think doing them daily for the next month will be great. I'm really excited to see how this goes. Have a great month everyone.

    Going for 100 min again

    4/1: 2:00 during tabata + 4:00 mixed planks.
    4/2: 2:00 or more during elev8 + 4:00 J. Soh
    4/3: 3:00 personal mix, almost skipped it
    4/4: 1:30, during lifting. None extra, embarassing
    4/5: 5:00 J. Soh older workout + 2:30 or more during the 45 min tabata workout
    4/6: almost missed it, then did 4:00 b4 bed, yeay me!
    4/7: 4:00 as part of the strength (instead of 3x20s they suggested) + about 2:00 during the HIIT later on
    4/8: 2:00 or 3:00, did not count, during strength/cardio video + 3:00 personal mix
    4/9: 4:00 personal random mix

    4/10: I dont remember 🤷‍♀️. Either 4 min or rest day... 🤔
    4/11: Soh's newer, harder workout. I only replaced the jacks with still plank, ya know, to leave room for improvement 🤦‍♀️. So 5:00 + some say 2:00 during HIIT later in the day
    4/12: maybe 3:00 as part of the Tabata HasFit workout

    Total: 52:00

    I have only started planks recently but have seen much improvement in my core strength. I think doing them daily for the next month will be great. I'm really excited to see how this goes. Have a great month everyone.

    [...] this really is a challenge when you dont typically do this daily, but Im trying to be more consistent

    I totally agree! The first day I started I realized I could only do short increments, so I’ve been doing 20 to 45 seconds per plank to get the total time I want to reach my goal. Check the “spoiler” below to see my usual pattern. I sometimes add an extra side plank set or if I just want to rack up easier minutes then I do more elbow planks. Works for me! Good luck to you!

    Going for 100 min again

    4/1: 2:00 during tabata + 4:00 mixed planks.
    4/2: 2:00 or more during elev8 + 4:00 J. Soh
    4/3: 3:00 personal mix, almost skipped it
    4/4: 1:30, during lifting. None extra, embarassing
    4/5: 5:00 J. Soh older workout + 2:30 or more during the 45 min tabata workout
    4/6: almost missed it, then did 4:00 b4 bed, yeay me!
    4/7: 4:00 as part of the strength (instead of 3x20s they suggested) + about 2:00 during the HIIT later on
    4/8: 2:00 or 3:00, did not count, during strength/cardio video + 3:00 personal mix
    4/9: 4:00 personal random mix
    4/10: I dont remember 🤷‍♀️. Either 4 min or rest day... 🤔
    4/11: Soh's newer, harder workout. I only replaced the jacks with still plank, ya know, to leave room for improvement 🤦‍♀️. So 5:00 + some say 2:00 during HIIT later in the day
    4/12: maybe 3:00 as part of the Tabata HasFit workout
    4/13: 7:00 min of the challenge in the spoiler below + 1:00 during a short tabata workout
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCTpvZlDc_s

    4/14: none 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️😁
    4/15: 7:00 of Benson's " 8 minutes of plank work for toned abs and a strong core"
    4/16: 2:00+ during a HasFit Tabata (so breaks in between) + 4:00 personal mix

    Total: 73:00
