    Well, changes in work and school schedules amid the Labor Day holiday weekend has really messed with things. Instead of doing this tomorrow, I did it today, and due to an interruption only two sets instead of three. I may try and fit another 2 set round in this weekend so long as things get a bit less chaotic. Also, I'm updating from my phone, and the Garmin Connect app on my phone only shows whole seconds for each exercise, as opposed to the web version which shows 1/10 seconds. Tiny insignificant detail, but the inconsistencies are frustrating.

    Set 1
    Superman - 53
    Alternating Arm & Leg Raise Plank - 34
    Side Plank (Left) - 57
    Side Plank (Right) - 57
    Hollow Tuck Hold - 51
    Reverse Plank - 56
    Set 2
    Superman - 43
    Alternating Arm & Leg Raise Plank - 49
    Side Plank (Left) - 40
    Side Plank (Right) - 47
    Hollow Tuck Hold - 38
    Reverse Plank - 39

    Today's Totals - 9:24
    Superman - 1:36
    Alternating Arm & Leg Raise Plank - 1:23
    Side Plank (Left) - 1:37
    Side Plank (Right) - 1:44
    Hollow Tuck Hold - 1:29
    Reverse Plank - 1:35

    9/1 workout summary
    Set 1
    Superman - 43.3
    Alternating Arm & Leg Raise Plank - 1:19.5
    Side Plank (Left) - 47.6
    Side Plank (Right) - 53.5
    Hollow Tuck Hold - 36.6
    Reverse Plank - 1:07.6
    Set 2
    Superman - 39.6
    Alternating Arm & Leg Raise Plank - 1:16.4
    Side Plank (Left) - 40.6
    Side Plank (Right) - 43.7
    Hollow Tuck Hold - 31.8

    Just plain 'ole elbow planks for me - you guys are AMAZING!

    9/30 complete

    I fell a little behind - had a couple days where I completely forgot. But never fear - I will make it! There's plenty of days to make up lost time.

    Morning
    Okay vacation was a blast. So nice meeting new friends and seeing old friends.
    We are now self quarantining for a week or more.
    So no close friends without masks 😷 😷

    Hi to ALL Planking Mates
