    I'll count all isometric excercises.
    Oct 1: nuffin
    Oct 2: 5:00 wall sit
    Oct 3: 6:00 wall sit, 4:00 planks, 5:00 glute bridges (hope I did them right, they seemed easy, but 5min were enough 😁)
    Oct 4: 4:00 wall sit, 4:00 planks, 5:00 bridges

    Oct 5: 4:00 planks (part of German Body Recomp, Day1: 4 × ups&downs) + 5:00 bridges (was I shaking at the end! it was after lifting, but this goes to show that they are real 😀)

    Oct 6: 5:30 wall sit (yeah!) + 4:30 planks during a HasFit advanced HIIT workout
    Oct 7: 6:30 wall sit + 4:30 planks (3:00 of which were the good ole bowflex 😃)
    Oct 8: 5:00 wall sit + 4:00 planks + 4:00 sumo squat (#2 from isometrics video - next time I might push it a little longer). I need stop pushing and plank for 3, at most 4 min a day or I'll reach "saturation" soon, as it happened the previous months. 😎
    Oct 9: rest day
    Oct 10: 5:30 wall sit + 4:00 planks
    Oct 11: 4:00 planks

    Oct 12: 6:00 wall sit + 3:00 planks + 3:30 bridges, as I write this 😂

    Oct 13: 5:00 wall sit + 5:00 glute bridges + 2:00 sumo squats. No planks, cause I did a standing planks workout.

    Oct 14: 10 min of isometrics, broken down into 5:00 planks + 2x1:30 static lunges + 2x1:00 bridges with 1 raised leg

    Oct 15: 10 min of various tough planks during a HasFit 45 min HIIT workout with weights

    Oct 16: 12 min of isometrics: 3:00 torture... erm wall sits + 1:30 planks (+another 1:30 during a HIIT workout) + 2:30 sumo squat + 5:00 bridges. 🙌

    Oct 17: super tough legs&abs HIIT; worth of 3:00 (or 4:00) planks scattered through the workout

    Oct 18: looks like I took a rest day (went for an autumn hike in the afternoon)

    Oct 19: just wall sit, but 6:00 of it in a row! 🙂

    Now I'm upset! I know that I was going to post when MFP community was down, but what was it?!? 🤔 Ah well 🤷‍♀️

    Today,
    Oct 28: I only managed to do 7 pushups today, but I did a 7:00 wall sit 💃 and a 4:00 plank workout, after running 🏃‍♀️ for 35 min earlier. I took some time off recently and I did lose some strength 😐.

    Total: planks 61:00
    All isometrics: 141:00
    Wall sit: max 7:00, Oct. 28th

    September: rest. Did some, during other workouts, but not explicitely/no counting.

    @MichQ1904 Yes, it will be as @jeffrey_ad hosts this for us, graciously. Good on you for starting to practice now!

    @SModa61 Good luck with the dental work tomorrow!

    @MaltedTea Thanks. Trying to plan so I can complete the different challenges I joined.

    Saw your nice work over in the UAC challenge! Congrats!!

    Currently hoping/planning to get up early tomorrow to get my exercise in for the UAC, and I doubt that I'll have a calorie issue for that portion. Will try and get the remaining planks done early AM as well which should allow me to get the 90 min total for October. Then between tomorrow and saturday, I have to do 43 min exercise for my 24 hour challenge. Got a good chance of not forfeiting. Of course I would have planned differently, had I known. My tooth removal was scheduled for 8:30 am tomorrow at 3 pm today. :( Trying to get things in order since I might need to be smart for a couple days.

    Here's the November challenge. I added "Isometric" to title to make it more flexible. Thanks @dewit

    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10814296/60-minutes-per-month-plank-isometric-challenge-november-2020

    I might have to figure out what isometrics to add to my daily practice...

    Oct 1: nuffin
    Oct 2: 5:00 wall sit
    Oct 3: 6:00 wall sit, 4:00 planks, 5:00 glute bridges (hope I did them right, they seemed easy, but 5min were enough 😁)
    Oct 4: 4:00 wall sit, 4:00 planks, 5:00 bridges

    Oct 5: 4:00 planks (part of German Body Recomp, Day1: 4 × ups&downs) + 5:00 bridges (was I shaking at the end! it was after lifting, but this goes to show that they are real 😀)

    Oct 6: 5:30 wall sit (yeah!) + 4:30 planks during a HasFit advanced HIIT workout
    Oct 7: 6:30 wall sit + 4:30 planks (3:00 of which were the good ole bowflex 😃)
    Oct 8: 5:00 wall sit + 4:00 planks + 4:00 sumo squat (#2 from isometrics video - next time I might push it a little longer). I need stop pushing and plank for 3, at most 4 min a day or I'll reach "saturation" soon, as it happened the previous months. 😎
    Oct 9: rest day
    Oct 10: 5:30 wall sit + 4:00 planks
    Oct 11: 4:00 planks

    Oct 12: 6:00 wall sit + 3:00 planks + 3:30 bridges, as I write this 😂

    Oct 13: 5:00 wall sit + 5:00 glute bridges + 2:00 sumo squats. No planks, cause I did a standing planks workout.

    Oct 14: 10 min of isometrics, broken down into 5:00 planks + 2x1:30 static lunges + 2x1:00 bridges with 1 raised leg

    Oct 15: 10 min of various tough planks during a HasFit 45 min HIIT workout with weights

    Oct 16: 12 min of isometrics: 3:00 torture... erm wall sits + 1:30 planks (+another 1:30 during a HIIT workout) + 2:30 sumo squat + 5:00 bridges. 🙌

    Oct 17: super tough legs&abs HIIT; worth of 3:00 (or 4:00) planks scattered through the workout

    Oct 18: looks like I took a rest day (went for an autumn hike in the afternoon)

    Oct 19: just wall sit, but 6:00 of it in a row! 🙂

    Now I'm upset! I know that I was going to post when MFP community was down, but what was it?!? 🤔 Ah well 🤷‍♀️

    Oct 28: I only managed to do 7 pushups today, but I did a 7:00 wall sit 💃 and a 4:00 plank workout, after running 🏃‍♀️ for 35 min earlier. I took some time off recently and I did lose some strength 😐.

    Oct 29: nuffin
    Oct 30: about 1:30 planks during a cool tabata workout (sweat competition)
    Oct 31: finishing strong - 10:00 isometrics, as 3:30 mixed planks, 3:00 sumo and 3:30 bridges

    Total: planks 66:00
    All isometrics: 151:00
    Wall sit: max 7:00, Oct. 28th

    Octomber 2020: 66, total 151 of isometrics
    September: rest. Did some, during other workouts, but not explicitely/no counting.
