    Happy Monday. I'm in!
    HIIT and Total body done! And I was able to hold all 3 planks for 90 seconds! Happy Dance!

    Awesome!! 90-seconds is killer. I made a mistake of throwing in overhead tricep lifts before the planks and my arm were literally shaking by the time I got to 60 seconds. The last 30 were brutal -- glad to be done ;)

    Great work ladies. Completed - fell (literally) just shy of the 80 sec point for all 3.
