    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).

    Day 5 is done. I really struggled with this one because I did T25 Ab intervals yesterday and I'm still a bit sore... But this means I'm getting stronger, right? ;)

    Uh, so day 5 beginner didn't go so well. I'm thinking that maybe I need to increase my rest time. First one was tough, did a 15 sec rest, and fell at 30 secs in the 2nd one. Even last week, I couldn't have done 40 seconds, so I'm still pretty proud. I'm thinking that when I wake up later today, I may try again. Just shorten my other ab exercises. :)

    Wasn't able to do day 5. Made it the first 40 sec, failed at about 20 sec in the 2nd rep. Will try again today and count Thurs as my rest day (had to skip due to sked). Like a pp said, may try a longer (20 sec or so) rest this time.
