    Day 1 Beginners- DONE.
    I can only do about a 45-50 second plank right now. Can't even imagine a 5 minute, but looking forward to it.

    Day 2 beg. done.

    What happens if/when we cant hold the plank for as long as we are supposed to?? I cant imagine doing much more than 30 seconds. So how does this work, if we cant hold it as long as we are supposed to?

    Try your best. You can do it!! Aim for progress, not perfection, that is, if you really can't aim for making up the next day or definitively more

    Day 3 beg. done!!

    At first I only did it twice not realizing that I needed to do 3 sets :noway:
    ouch! I don't know if its cause of my workout yesterday, but I really felt it in my shoulders!!! and I have a hard time breathing in that position.
    Did I mention that I hate planks BTW????:tongue:

    Day 3, beginner done. Shoulders were twitching after!! Feels like it's already getting easier, though. :) And my aching lower back feels better doing something every day! I do cat/cow between to stretch.

    Good job on day 3 everybody else, and lucyloutoo on day 4!

    Did my Day 3 earlier, still on Advanced! Was glued to the floor for quite some time after lol.
    6 sets of 45 secs and the last one I reduced to just 30 secs. 15 secs rest throughout it all ..

    Day 3 (beginner) done! And the stretch in my calves felt good, so it inspired me to do a short yoga routine, too, before bed! I noticed my forearms are tending to point inward, so going to pay more attention to keeping them parallel tonight.

    I'm on board for this challenge. I completed Day 3 today. I did two planks from my hands and one from my forearms (dolphin plank, if there are any yogis here).
