    I'm losing track of the days of the week! Sunday is supposed to be a rest day but I did my plank routine in the morning before I realised what day it was.

    5/26: 7:00 Pamela Reif(?), that was hard! (did it after a lower body dumbbell strength workout, but that couldnt be why I found it so hard...🤷‍♀️)

    Total: 106:00 and I am not done yet! 😁

    @metonymicalinsanity : I already completed the April challenge, I was definitely not going to work on that twice 🤣. Thank you, better l8r than never to have someone *dare* to tell me 😆.

    Sad part is, it's May indeed. And not for too long anymore, I'm affraid. Where did this first half of the year go? 👀

    ETA, since you asked 😉 (I always wanted to have the overview😊):

    5/1: 2:00 during tabata + 4:00 mixed planks.
    5/2: 2:00 or more during elev8 + 4:00 J. Soh
    5/3: 3:00 personal mix, almost skipped it
    5/4: 1:30, during lifting. None extra, embarassing
    5/5: 5:00 J. Soh older workout + 2:30 or more during the 45 min tabata workout
    5/6: almost missed it, then did 4:00 b4 bed, yeay me!
    5/7: 4:00 as part of the strength (instead of 3x20s they suggested) + about 2:00 during the HIIT later on
    5/8: 2:00 or 3:00, did not count, during strength/cardio video + 3:00 personal mix
    5/9: 4:00 personal random mix
    5/10: I dont remember 🤷‍♀️. Either 4 min or rest day... 🤔
    5/11: 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
    5/12: maybe 3:00 as part of the Tabata HasFit workout
    5/13: 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
    5/14: none 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️😁
    5/15: 7:00 of Benson's " 8 minutes of plank work for toned abs and a strong core"
    5/16: 2:00+ during a HasFit Tabata (so breaks in between) + 4:00 personal mix
    Somethings must have gone wrong last time I posted... 😑 Let's play "Memory":

    5/17: maybe none, I went hiking that day... I vaguely remember doing 3 min, cause I couldnt take a break, but I'll let it be. Should teach me a lesson for not reporting daily!
    5/18: I think 4:00, personal mix
    5/19: 5:00 of Joahnna Soh's new workout video (remember I had this as a goal in March? I did it now! Without modifications! After lifting w dumbbells! (Day 2 of M&S)
    5/20: 4:00, roughly, during a HIIT workout
    5/21: none
    5/22: none
    5/23: 3:00 during HasFit's Tabata workout + 5:00 Soh's new video, which left me shaking!
    5/24: none. Went to bed early (yeay me!)
    5/25: roughly 3:00 during a hardcore tabata from HasFit (loved it!) + 2:00 at the end of if
    5/26: 7:00 Pamela Reif(?), that was hard! (did it after a lower body dumbbell strength workout, but that couldnt be why I found it so hard...🤷‍♀️)

    5/27: I did a Tabata, there must have been some planks in it, but I'll ignore that...
    5/28: roughly 4:00, during a HIIT
    5/29: 1:00 at the end of strength and I'll aim for 5:00 tonight. I'll correct my entry tomorrow, if today's not working out...

    Total: 116, aiming for 125.

    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.

    May goal: 60 min.

    May 01: 1:15
    May 02: 1:00
    May 03: 0:00
    May 04: 1:15
    May 05 :1:00
    May 06: 0:00
    May 07: 1:30
    May 08-09 0:00 Its a work in progress
    May 10: 1:30
    May 11: 0:30
    May 12-15 1:00 this really is a challenge when you don't typically do this daily, but I'm trying to be more consistent
    May 17: 1:00
    May 19: 2.00 only 12.00 minutes this month but a couple of months ago I would have had zero minutes
    May 20: 1:00
    May 22: 1:00
    May 23- 29 tweaked my hip and lower back so chose to lay off for healing.
    May 30: 1:10 feeling better and getting back to it. I won't do the 60 or even 30, but 15 minutes is 15 minutes more than I would have done a month ago.

    Total: 15.10 min. 44.50 to go

    May 28: rest day
    May 29: rest day
    May 30: 4 min. raised plank
    May 31: 4 min. forearm plank

    Above target: 10:35 min.

    Resolution: I'm really happy with my results for May - I started the month with 3:15 seasons both for raised and forearm planks and at the end I was able to hold for 4 minutes. In March I was barely doing 1:30 min. sessions. 😊

    Hope to see you all in the June challenge! 😏
