Congrats and well done!! Impressive start!!
So, in a day or two, I'll post a new thread and put the link in this thread. Now that you have it bookmarked, you'll see the post, and you can just change the bookmark at the end of the month. I probably should have done it this weekend, but didn't think much about it as I'm playing catch up.
Thanks! I will be sure to do that!

Lol, well, it was a good thought! Didn't remember what your goal was and was too lazy to go look!! Glad to see you'll be back in the March one.3 -
Decided to rest today on the planks in preparation for the March challenge. Ended up with a little over 100 minutes. Towards the end of the month I realized I wasn't really pushing myself as much any more, so I'm trying to up my goal for March and see if that helps. Look forward to seeing you all there!!4

So between vacation and a nagging back injury, I'm not making 90 minute, but at least I made 60!
Feb 23: Went to a Yoga class on vacation. She did a number of plank moves that I estimated took up about 5 minutes.

Total: 61 min Total for the month. On to March!3 -
"Ok so I am using a 'set' this month:
30secs straight arm plank
15secs left side plank
15secs right side plank
30secs forearm plank
That's 1.5 mins. Longer than I have held a single plank so far, but see how it goes. So I am logging as 1, 2 or 3 'sets' make it look a bit neater this month.""

So 10mins, or more before squash and the rest after! hmmmmmm

Congrats to everyone who hit or exceeded their goals this month!! Y'all are awesome!
Meant to do a couple of minutes of planks before I left to go paddling today to at least get to 30 minutes, but forgot until I was driving to my launch point. After the paddle, I'm too exhausted to attempt, so I'm calling it a month...See everyone in March!
28 February: none - long paddle (4+ hours), too tired
Total: 28 of 60 minutes
Left to Goal: 32 minutes

Finished the month with 94 minutes. I was worried that I might not meet my goal of 90 minutes because of the short month but I made it!3

HAHAHAHAHAHA did it!
admittedly I went to forearm planks on knees again for the majority of the last 20mins. But the shakes through my core were quite something! (and I can actually hold the forearm on knees plank for 2mins, so that is a new acheivement)
feeling proud!
ETA: but gods, coughing hurts!!4
