    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

    8/23: 5:00 (Soh's, modified) + 3:00 during tabata (new workout)

    I'm at the following total...

    PLANK HOLDS: 40 min
    WORKOUTS: 5 sessions (no weights)
    WORKOUTS: 2.5 sessions (weights)

    Today was officially a rest day but before doing the last of my 12k steps, I wanted to try something.

    Five plank holds in 10 min. One min hold, one min rest. It wasn't so bad and if I do it daily for the rest of the month, I'll surpass the 60 min goal.

    If...

    WORKOUTS: 2.5 sessions (weights)

    I'm aiming for a two-a-day (with the advanced workout done after work) but consider this a placeholder of sorts.

    I did my second 2 min hold at the end of today's prescribed MFP upper body workout.

    Perhaps I'll attempt the "five plank holds in 10 min" thing again tonight as well. #tba 🤷🏿‍♀️

    I'm at the following total...

    PLANK HOLDS: 44 min
    WORKOUTS: 5 sessions (no weights)
    WORKOUTS: 3.0 sessions (weights)

    That attempt for 5 extra plank holds today? Forget about it, I never said anything. But I did do two more 1 min plank holds before starting the advanced plank workout with weights.

    And what's my progress with the 8 lb front raises while in plank position?

    ZILCH, save the initial delusion that I could do at least one. C'est un peu décourageant! 😭

    The only other workout scheduling combo I can think of to make this finally work (this month) is doing the advanced workout first thing in the morning after a rest day.

    I can't be defeated like this...

    I'm at the following total...

    PLANK HOLDS: 49 min
    WORKOUTS: 5 sessions (no weights)
    WORKOUTS: 3.5 sessions (weights)

    Yesterday was an active rest day (walking and Gyrotonic). So today was a "two-a-day" that started with the advanced workout.

    I. STILL. CAN'T. DO. PLANKS. WITH. 8lb. FRONT. RAISES.

    But why not though? 😱 Bring me the human who has done this in one of these threads. Otherwise, I will assume no one has ever done this since this one lone woman in 2009. It makes no sense otherwise lol

    Or...I can work on this all winter.

    In the meantime, my penultimate MFP upper body workout for the month was prefaced with the "five plank holds in 10 min" thing. So...there's that, I guess.

    PLANK HOLDS: 50 min

    WORKOUTS: 3.5 sessions (weights)

    Today is another active rest day from the MFP upper body workout plan (the last day is tomorrow).

    Up til now, I was avoiding plank holds and plank-like movements on rests days. But after today's 30 min of stairs 'n lunge drills, I did one 1 min plank hold.

    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

    8/26: 3:30 during a HIIT workout, then 1:30 as they cooled down 😁
    8/27: none, stressfull dans and tired
    8/28: 5:00

    8/29: 5:00 (Le Sweat on popsugars + 1:00 on my own before cooldown)

    I'm at the following total...

    PLANK HOLDS: 57 min
    WORKOUTS: 5 sessions (no weights)
    WORKOUTS: 3.5 sessions (weights)

    The last day of the MFP upper body workout was supposed to be yesterday. I skipped it. But then MFP erased all my progress when I went to check-in today. Ooof. So I restarted the plan and did a similar day (I couldn't get back to Day 28 because the MFP app was being glitchy and I didn't want to waste another 10 min).

    All that to say, I ended the morning workout with a 2 min plank hold. And guys, I didn't shake!!!

    No advanced workout today but I'll attempt once or twice more before month-end.

    This evening, I did the "five plank holds in 10 min"

    PLANK HOLDS: 58 min
    WORKOUTS: 5 sessions (no weights)
    WORKOUTS: 3.5 sessions (weights)

    Active rest day to work on the lower body for an hour. But I finished off with a single, solitary plank hold.

    Kudos to everyone who already met their monthly goal! You all have me impressed!
