5 days into it and 15 one-minute planks done!5

First off, let me state for the record: I don't like this. Any of it. Period. I realize why I only followed the thread for months. 😱
I'm doing it anyway to push past this current "upper limit problem" and find some eternal happiness of some sort (according to Gay Hendricks who wrote "The Big Leap"). 🙄
Upside? Yesterday's rest day meant I felt like I was doing the "advanced workout" with better form today. Also, it took a bit longer for the shakes and body convulsions to start for today's 2 min worth of plank holds 😂
So I'm at the following total...
PLANK HOLDS: 8 min
WORKOUTS: 4 sessions (no weights)
...all while doing the MFP 28-day upper body workout plan which has an inexplicable amount of "bear crawls" 🐻 but I think they help the planking.5 -

I am pretty stable for the first minute but after that I get shaky and seconds pass by like hours lol!4 -
I will try to complete 60 minutes of planks for the remainder of August. Getting in about eight minutes a day, starting tomorrow!3

I'm at the following total...
PLANK HOLDS: 10 min
WORKOUTS: 5 sessions (no weights)
I skipped my MFP workout plan yesterday to avoid back-to-back sessions but there's no way around it. Instead, I may just omit the advanced workout portion for future back-to-back sessions...like tomorrow!
But I'll do more planks to compensate.2 -

Felt a lot easier today which was nice. I set a timer for 2 minutes and then check social media on my phone while I plank. It makes the time go by faster and I even felt like I could've kept going if I really dug deep.4 -

I'm at the following total...
PLANK HOLDS: 13 min
WORKOUTS: 5 sessions (no weights)
Instead of incorporating the advanced workout two days in a row, I just did the prescribed MFP upper body workout today. Thank goodness because this is the first time they doubled the set length while adding a third round to the circuit! (Note to self: you should probably review workout plans in advance before starting them)
I did 1 minute plank holds between each of the three circuits, then ran some stairs.4 -
