    Day 4, 2 minutes knee tap and 45 second knee tap done. All I can say is, Wow. Time goes by faster when you're moving, but it was a killer.

    I only read this thread yesterday so I am behind. This morning 3x45 sec low plank done.
    It was hard... but I am optimistic I can take it one day at the time.
    Good luck everyone xxx

    Realized I mixed up day 4 and 5. Did day 4 yesterday. Was only able to complete 2 45 second sets and 1 30 second set. Some is better than none.

    Completed day 6. Not a bad one. Amusing to watch my 4yo try to do it with me.

    Joining late so on day 2, side planks. It was actually easier then normal planks... or maybe having my fav music on made the time go quicker?

    Just completed
    day 5 knee taps 3x45secs,
    day 6 shoulder taps 3x45 and
    day 7 up and downs 3x60secs for Jan 5th 6th and 7th.

    Woof!! Played catch up as did not want to miss it out.
    Knee taps surprisingly worked quads and gluts so well. The 60secs on ups and downs were working fabulously on abs.

    You guys rock keeping steady and consistent here! To new planners to challenge welcome!

    Yogidog, Definitely take it step by step.
