    Short workout today. I've lost a bit of motivation with my workouts since I ran an ultra marathon on 13th June. I've been concentrating on active recovery since the race which has mainly involved easy running and rebounder sessions.

    I hope to get back onto it for next month and may change my workout slightly, so that I don't lose motivation again.

    Straight arm planks: 2 x 30 secs
    Reverse planks: 2 x 30 secs
    Forearm planks: 2 x 30 secs
    Calf raises: 2 x 30 secs
    Glute bridge: 2 x 30 secs
    Sumo squats: 2 x 30 secs
    Press-ups: 1 x 20 reps

    June cumulative:
    Planks: 48 mins
    Isometrics: 48 mins
    Press-ups: 160 reps

    Returning now that the quad is healed, although with a reduced load at one rep per hold (for now). I'm also backing down from 4 sessions per week to 3 due to a mid-week long run being added into my running schedule. I don't do these on harder run workout days.

    June 28

    Superman - 30 secs
    Forearm Plank - 30 secs
    Side Leg Raise (left/right) - 30 secs / 30 secs
    Side Plank (left/right) - 30 secs / 30 secs
    Hollow Hold - 30 secs
    Reverse Plank - 30 secs
    Adductor Ball Squeeze - 30 secs
    Front Kick Hold (left/right) - 30 secs / 30 secs
    Side Kick Hold (left/right) - 30 secs / 30 secs
    Back Kick Hold (left/right) - 30 secs / 30 secs
    Squat Hold - 30 secs
    Calf Raise - 30 secs

    Today's Total Hold Time 8:30

    Tried something a little different tonight, in the hope that my motivation will return. I was going to start back on 1st July, but it's Monday and I need to get back to it and stop stalling. All I did was mix up my workout a little and incorporated more exercises, but keeping reps low.

    Sumo squat: 2 x 30 secs
    Calf raise: 2 x 30 secs
    Static lunge: 2 x 30 secs
    Active beast: 2 x 30 secs
    Forearm plank: 2 x 30 secs
    Glute bridge: 2 x 30 secs
    Reverse plank: 2 x 30 secs
    Straight arm plank: 2 x 30 secs
    Hollow body tuck hold: 2 x 30 secs
    Press-ups: 1 x 20 reps

    June cumulative:
    Planks: 51 minutes
    Isometrics: 55 minutes
    Press-ups: 180 reps
