    Going for 100 again.
    8/1: 5:00 (roughly 2:00 during HasFits HIIT workout w dumbbells + 4:00 straight, on my own)
    8/2: 4×1:00 ups and downs + 1:00 extra
    8/3 + 8/4: none
    8/5: 6:00
    8/6: 4:00 ups and downs (GBC, Day 1)
    8/7: 5:00 (partly during a Tabata abs workout)
    8/8: another 5 down 🙌
    8/9: planed to do 3min, but kept going for 1 more minute 😊: 4:00
    8/10: Tried the planks from here (some I knew, the biceps was a killer!), holding some for 1 min, some for 30s (the biceps for like 20s) https://youtu.be/VH5F-dKoM98
    Total: 5 min
    8/11: 2:30 min during HasFits workout, then 1:30 while they cooled down 😄🙈
    8/12: let's say I took a day off 🤷‍♀️😀
    8/13: 4:00 ups and downs (GBC, Day 1) + 2:00 for the fun of it 😀 (can you tell that I'm in a good mood? 😊; no particular reason)

    8/14: 7:00 Pamela Reif makes it look easy, but it isn't (to me, at least). Had to go half way through to side planks, then went on like her.

    8/15: 3:00. Do pushups count as planks? These 3 min after lifting and doing pushups were a struggle today. Well, that's how we build 💪, right?

    @Dorgle690 : are you staying 2 min straight in the same plank position? I couldn't. I do at most 1 min, then vary. Usually 30 sec only, but even so, I'm cpuning the seconds 😄. I dont take rest time between planks, though.

    @MaltedTea 🤗, I like it when I get mentioned 😊. Well done 👏. Did your mom come in? I dont like it when family membere crack the door and say to me: "ah, that's where you are (hiding)". It's hard to breathe properly when they talk to me...

    @lesdarts180 , you are always doing great, have the highest target and amaze me by your perseverance and consistency 🌻

    My mom is a day's drive away from me. I was being dramatic, as ever. Planks have that effect on me so never take me seriously 😅

    But I do get you on being interrupted during focused exercise!!

    Yup, along with the MFP workout plan (integrated, not a two-a-day). Taking an evening walk to get 10k+ steps in...along with some chicken jerky as a treat on the way back 😋

    Just did the MFP workout and one 1-minute plank this morning. I had intentions to do the plank workout this evening but after doing 17k steps (at LEAST 7k of which was me getting lost and walking in circles) I'm stressed and pooped and I don't wanna.

    I'm at the following total...

    PLANK HOLDS: 35 min
    WORKOUTS: 5 sessions (no weights)
    WORKOUTS: 2.5 sessions (weights)

    I was finishing up the day's prescribed 40-min MFP upper workout when I remembered the UA Better Together Challenge Virtual Workout (or #UABetterTogether or some such workout stream).

    I caught up with 200+ attendees at the start of their second set of Circuit 1. So that was another 35 min of whole body work which included some plank variants meant to torture criminals...but that I will 100% use again in a workout lol

    Not going to count this in the WORKOUTS tally above but there were a lot of similar movements (minus weights).

    The day is not yet done as I still have a Gyrotonic session where I'll look into imbalances then see if the trainer can give me tips on better planking.

    Going for 100 again.
    8/1: 5:00 (roughly 2:00 during HasFits HIIT workout w dumbbells + 4:00 straight, on my own)
    8/2: 4×1:00 ups and downs + 1:00 extra
    8/3 + 8/4: none
    8/5: 6:00
    8/6: 4:00 ups and downs (GBC, Day 1)
    8/7: 5:00 (partly during a Tabata abs workout)
    8/8: another 5 down 🙌
    8/9: planed to do 3min, but kept going for 1 more minute 😊: 4:00
    8/10: Tried the planks from here (some I knew, the biceps was a killer!), holding some for 1 min, some for 30s (the biceps for like 20s) https://youtu.be/VH5F-dKoM98
    Total: 5 min
    8/11: 2:30 min during HasFits workout, then 1:30 while they cooled down 😄🙈
    8/12: let's say I took a day off 🤷‍♀️😀
    8/13: 4:00 ups and downs (GBC, Day 1) + 2:00 for the fun of it 😀 (can you tell that I'm in a good mood? 😊; no particular reason)
    8/14: 7:00 Pamela Reif makes it look easy, but it isn't (to me, at least). Had to go half way through to side planks, then went on like her.
    8/15: 3:00. Do pushups count as planks? These 3 min after lifting and doing pushups were a struggle today. Well, that's how we build 💪, right?
    8/16: felt like taking a break, so rest day
    8/17: thought of planking for 3 min, pushed it further to 4 and ended up doing 5:00 😀
    8/18: 5:00 (4 × 1:00 ups&downs, part of GBC Day1 + 1:00 straight arm)
    8/19: 4:00 at the end of a kickboxing workout

    8/20: long demanding hike, no planks
    8/21: none, top tief. No freaking idea why I dont do the planks in the first half of the day 🤨
    8/22: 4:00
