Happy New Year!!
Welcome new folks, and welcome back familiar faces! Wow, lots of people this month! How exciting! Glad to see so many strong starts! Some of you are crushing it already!! Well done!!
FWIW, I do try to take weekends off, though last month, the weekends merged into my weekdays; but today is a designated plank rest day for me. Glad to see @Spliner1969 taking a rest also (for those of you not in past challenges, you'll see why I say that as the month goes on).
1 January: Rest Day
Total: 0 of 60 minutes
Left to Goal: 60 minutes2 -
I'm trying this. Lower goal though. Yesterday I did an 8 sec plank, today 15 sec. My goal is to do at least one plank a day. Going for 30 min for month, but limiting to 30 min.

Ok gang, I have a question...the planks that I have logged have been specifically for this challenge. However, I am in two more challenges that have planks included. Should I include those times for an all inclusive plank time total or continue to separate them?
If I include the others in my time here then I my total time is 23:25
My fear of including them is I may eventually slack off and do a single set of plank and count it for both. What do you think?

Total: 4.2/60
I was able to get a little over today!2 -
@alipsie19 I would say that if you're worried about it, to keep doing what you're doing. I'm the same way and have found that combining challenges just makes me slack off.2
-
@alipsie19 I've always tried to keep them all separate as well.2

Hi all,
I missed day 1 here and thought I was going to go on planking on my own for the extras to varied plank challenge but I actually liked logging in and checking in with the planking community here.
So here goes.
Goal of 90mins and consistency-taking a page off your books Spliner. Here goes.
Jan 2: 2x 30secs.

1/2 :20 grunting from 8 secs on.4 -
A question..... I’m new at this and doing 4 x 30sec forearm planks/day is pushing it for me, though it seems I may be able to continue at this level. For somebody at entry level, is taking rest days advisable or is doing this daily workable?1

I see no reason why that would be a bad thing. It's kinda why I didn't join another challenge, it gets tough to keep track, well, that and I don't like structured challenges. If I was doing both I'd do the structured ones first then do extras if I wanted and report both on this challenge. It all counts.2 -
@Spliner1969 I definitely overreached this month (5 different challenges), but I hate the idea of not finishing. Going to hang with them all for as long as possible.1

Welcome to all the new folks! Well done so far everyone!
So many questions, and already answered by folks...but I'll throw in my 2 cents...
I do one set of workouts and apply them to any and all challenges that I'm a part of and are applicable. So @alipsie19, if you are already at 23 minutes, then you're over a third done for this one in my books. Like @Spliner1969 said, it all counts. I'm apparently rather wimpy compared to many of you, since will count one workout across multiple challenges.
And yes, @teicu1 it's smart to take rest days. It's why I try to get 3 minutes in each day, so I can have the weekends off from doing planks...and it gives me a few days each week to make up planks in case work/life gets in the way of my workouts.
2 January: 3 minutes (2 x 60 sec - straight arm; 1 x 60 sec - straight arm with overhead reach)
Total: 3 of 60 minutes
Left to Goal: 57 minutes3 -
Goal 90 min
Jan 2 - 5 min (mixed)
Total for Jan: 10 min
Alispsie19, I am in other challenges as well, although none specifically include planks. However, if they did, I would still be reporting the total planks I did everyday on this site. I think this site is a great place to keep track of this particular exercise as many of the other challenges are a mix of things. Just my thoughts.2 -
Jan 1: 7:00 Mixed
Jan 2: 9:00 Mixed
Jan 3: 2x :30 reverse, 2x 1:00 side, 2x 2:00 SA & leg raise (1x:20, 3x :45 SA)
Total: 23:00 (26:00)
Thanks gang!2
