    Goal: 100 min planks Achieved 3/25 🎉
    and 15 pushups in a row
    3/1: 5:00 own mix
    3/2: 4:00 during a 🔥 HIIT
    3/3: none
    3/4: 5:00 old Soh's workout + 5:00 during an epic 🔥 HIIT
    3/5: 4:00 (4 × 1:00, roughly) during 🏋‍♀️
    3/6: 4:00 of an online challenge

    3/7: 4:00 during low impact, sweatty HIIT
    3/8: none, but see pushups below!
    3/9: none again (intense lower body workout)
    3/10: 3:00 during HIIT
    3/11: 4:00 (ups&downs)
    3/12: 6:00 (HIIT and some on top)
    3/13: 4:00 during Tabata
    3/14: 5:30 (only static planks)
    3/15: 4:00 (or more), during Epic 1, because I replaced some pushups by planks 🤫
    3/16: 4:00 or more (workout + on my own, l8r)
    3/17: 2:00, roughly (during video workout)
    3/18: none
    3/19: 2:00 or so, during Epic + 4:00 on my own
    3/20: 4:00, with Rachel Gulotta (I thought I posted yesterday 😯)
    3/21: 1:00 + 4:00, own mix
    3/22: 5:30, HIIT + extra, own mix

    3/26: 5:00 with Caroline Girvan

    3/27: probably 2:00 during strenght (epic) workout
    3/28: I counted the planks at the end of a hard workout. Looks like I did 6:00 or more. They felt shorter, but maybe the consistency over the last year is paying off 😄

    This month's PB:
    * pushups: 15 (proper, in a row) on 3/8

    Came across this
    https://youtu.be/cLcQU9rVgmY
    and did a plank instead of handstand at the end. So def. 5:00 alltogether. The lower body isometrics were hard, except for wall sit. So I might work more on that next month.

    I could go for a PR in terms of minutes per month, but I will probably stop at:

    Total: 121:00 (aiming for 115-120 now)

    taking the last 2 days as rest day. Earned it!

    This month's PB:
    * pushups: 15 (proper, in a row) on 3/8
    * wall sit: 5:00 on 3/16
    Planks vitae 😀 (in minutes):

    February 2021: 105 planks. Month's PR 5:30 wall sit + 10-8-8-6 pushups in a workout

    January 2021: 120 planks + 115 legs isometrics

    December 2020: 115 planks and 100 legs

    November 2020: 117 planks and 111 legs isometrics. PB: 10 pushups, 6 min wall sit

    Octomber 2020: 66, total 151 of isometrics

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

    Hello, I'm new to the MFP community and just came across this group and this type of exercise is something I'd really like to get into. Will there be an April challenge which I could join?
