Doesn't matter if you hit your goal, it matters that you set a goal and that you try. Do your best, and come back next month, and the month after, and keep up the effort. Many of us have set higher goals because this challenge has made us better. It will you too, just don't give up!2 -
January 10. 4 minutes elbow, straight arm 37 mins to go.2

Total today: 3 minutes
Left to Goal: 52:00 minutes. they are getting easier - ha ha - or maybe I am daydreaming!2 -
1/1=4x30sec.
1/2=4x30sec.
1/3=4x1min.
1/5=4x1min.
1/7=4x1min.
1/9=2x1min.
1/11=4x1min. All forearm planks. Total to date = 22 minutes.
Now using elbow and knee pads. This may be wimpy, but I don’t care. The gradual buildup of cumulative elbow/knee irritation/damage is now thankfully arrested. Doing planks isn’t any easier, but I believe I have a better shot at staying with it without worsening elbow/knee condition.1 -

I was feeling pain in back about shoulder blade level, felt better after skipped 3 days, hurt after doing plank last night. Trying to figure out if I should do lower time and build slower or just not do planks. Any suggestions?0 -
