    It's been a very busy few days, but I managed 10 minutes this evening. As we are halfway through the month I have just about (by the seat of my pants!) reached the halfway target point, so hoping I can continue as I mean to go on and actually reach my target this month.

    The good news is that my knee pain has greatly improved, therefore I will continue to not do any knee isometrics until I am confident that any injury I've had has fully healed.

    Today:
    Calf raise: 4 x 30 secs
    Glute bridge: 4 x 30 secs
    Hollow body tuck hold: 4 x 30 secs
    Lateral shoulder raise: 4 x 30 secs
    Straight arm planks: 4 x 30 secs

    July cumulative:
    63 minutes (120 minutes goal)

    Short workout today as the weather is just too hot. Good news is that my knees are no longer hurting, so I'm reluctant to incorporate wall sits and squats back into my routine just yet. I think I'll leave it a little longer so that all is fully healed then decide what to do.

    Calf raise: 4 x 30 secs
    Glute bridge: 4 x 30 secs
    Reverse plank: 2 x 30 secs
    Straight arm plank: 2 x 30 secs

    July cumulative:
    69 minutes (120 minutes goal)
