    Back still hurting, but didn't want to go a third day without doing planks. So, backed off and did some modified ones (they really work your upper body more than your core, IMO).

    29 January: 10 minutes* (5 x 120 sec - modified* straight arm)

    Total: 54 of 60 minutes
    Left to Goal: 6 minutes

    12th Jan - 30secs
    13th Jan - 30secs, 50secs, 1min10secs (weird times as asked gf to count me 30 and she didn't stop and I collapsed at 50! so later had to try and make it to a nicer number so managed 1min10 - she says it is good thing, I was not impressed!)
    14th Jan - 4x 30 secs (in exercise classes)
    15th Jan - 30secs, 1min, 1min, 30secs, 30secs
    16th Jan - nothing, no excuse, just got to bedtime and hadn't done any
    17th Jan - 1min, 1min, 30secs, 1mins, 30secs, 1mins (over 3 hours)
    18th Jan - 1min13secs, 1min13sec, 1min, 1min,1min
    19th Jan - 0
    20th Jan - 0
    21st Jan - 4x 30 secs (in exercise classes)
    22nd Jan - 4x 30 secs (in exercise classes), then 30sec, 42secs, 30secs, 40secs - am counting the 2 seconds there as I really struggled after classes to do anything that evening!
    23rd Jan - 0
    24th Jan - 52sec, 52 secs, 1min
    25th Jan - 1min
    26th Jan - 1min18secs - longest hold yet!, 1min, 1min, 1min10secs
    27th Jan - 1min10secs, 50secs, 50secs, 1 min
    28th Jan - 10mins54secs throughout the day - did some straight leg side planks and held for 15 secs max each side, so that was fun!
    29th Jan - 2 x 30 secs (in exercise class), 1min, a set of 3 30secs but then felt something pull so had to stop for the eve :/

    was hoping to clear it over the weekend - but still have 2 days, can hopefully do 5 mins at work today and tomorrow and make this! I will be better organised next month and not have as many days off!

    running total: 51mins 44secs
