* 20 pushups ✅
* 6:00 on the wall sit (or more) ✅
* Rief's 7:00 plank workout, unmodified ✅
* the 20 min workout of growingannanas x 3
Am obviously going to fail at the last one, but I'd be good if I got one in, this week!5/1: none
5/2: 4:00 planks during Tabata with Heather R
5/3: 6:00 plank challenge (Heather Robertson)
5/4: none, but 19 pushups!
5/5: 7:00 planks, out of which 6:00 during Epic Day 29 "Isometric and Dynamic w DB, full body". During which, 5:00 legs isometrics
5/6: 6:00 planks + 6:00 wall sit + 17 pushups
5/7: I remembered! 4:00 during Caroline's Epic (day 30) pushups round 🙈. Just because!
5/8: 5:00 planks, own mix + 🥁 20 pushups!
5/9: 4:00 planks + 0:45 V-SitUp, during low intensity workout with Rachel Gulotta
5/10: 4:00 during Tabata w. Rachel Gulotta
5/11: 6:00 planks during Epic. There are some leg isometrics here and there in the video workouts, too.
5/12: none, super busy and sleep deprived
5/13: 5:00 wall sit + 6:00 planks with HasFit, during their 20 min HIIT. Still super busy...
5/14: 4:00 planks, but I am not doing this Video ever again! Ellbow plank, then lateral x 2, then face up. Each 1min. Just weird.
5/15: 4:30 planks during Epic, all obliques!
5/16: none, rest after a hardcore week
5/17: let's say 2:00 plank-like; during HIIT, she had pushups + rotation and face-up, triceps + toe touch. 3 x 45 of each. Counting it as 2 min is a good compromise, I think
5/18: 7:00 planks during Epic (each 45s), because I replaced some pushups with planks and then she had planks in the end. She's throwing in arms isometrics every now and then❣
5/19: 5:00 planks during Epic, HIIT day. Tabata Style, i.e. 20s each
5/20: wall sat for 7:00! + 2:30 planks during Epic workout
5/21: rest day (stressfull day@work)
5/22: 5:00 planks with Heather Robertson + 1:30 (or more?) leg holds during Girvan's Epic
5/23: 7:00 planks w Pamela Rief + 3:00 (there were 3 looong minutes) wall sit
Total: 87:00 planks, 31:30 legs&glutes
