I didn't do any planks while I was away. My excuse? The hotel room was really small - no room to exercise, not even planks. Playing catch up now.

I'm aiming this month for a minimum.of:
* 75 min planks
* 75 min other isometrics
* 20 pushups x 3 times
due to travelling.8/1: 3:00 planks durng workout
8/2: 10:00 core isometrics + 10:00 egs isometrics + 5:00 planks with Soh + 20 pushups
8/3: 6:00 planks w Heather Robertson + 2:00 leg holds during Epic II workout + 3:00 wall sit
8/4: 5:00 planks during workout + 3:00 wall sit + 1:00 legs hold, during workout
8/5: Epic II, full body workout, with lots of holds. 5:00 planks (also in place of some of the pushups), 5:50 leg isometrics, 3:00 arms and 1:00 core + 2x10 pushups
8/6: 5:00 planks (workout + free style) + 3:00 wall sit
8/7: rest, which did me well 👍
8/8: 6:00 planks with Heather Robertson (no legs, because I did 40 min of lunges during Caroline's Epic II Day 32. I wonder if I could count the pulses as isometrics 🤔, she had quite a few!
8/9: 1:30 planks + 2:00 legs (wall sits during her pushups). Alltogether I still did 70 pushups during this particular workout. 😉
8/10: none, because there were a lot of squats in today's workout 🤷♀️
8/11: 1:30 planks (regenate rows) + 2:30 legs (calf raises and wall sit). Also 19 pushups, this should "almost" count 😉.
8/12: didn't do my regular workout, so I had energy for:
* 21 pushups (PR?)
* 7:00 planks with Reif, modified
* 10 legs with Girvan
8/13: about 6:00 planks during a HIIT workout and about 50 pushups during said HIIT
8/14: 4 x 45s of holds on hip thrusts, so 3:00 legs isometrics
8/15: no explicit planks or isometrics, but the workout had many holds, so I will say at least 3:00 in total
8/16: 10:00 of legs isometrics with Carolike Girvain + 5:00 planks + 15 pushups
8/17: 5:00 planks
8/18: 3:00 planks (instead of pushups 😎) + 21 pushups in the am and 15 tricep pushups during workout (+ pike and cobra at the end)
8/19: 3:00 during a Rachel Gulota workout and 6:00 wall sit
8/20: rest day
8/21: another rest day 🤷♀️, due to travelling
8/22: 1:50 planks, during workout (replacing pushups by planks, it was! 🤦♀️)
8/23: 4:00 during Epic II and later a 10:00 legs isometrics with Caroline Girvain
Total:
72:30 planks
88:00 other
20 pushups x 3
(2 x 10 pushups x 2)
