    I'm SOoo bummed I just saw this today. So I am in for 3.5 minutes for the remainder of the month (30 second planks each day until the 31st). I will be happy if I beat my goal. Last time I did a plank, I could barely hold it for 20 consecutive seconds.

    Don't be bummed, just do what you can this month and come back next month. We're here every single month because I am addicted to the results planking has given me. ;)

    Okay, transposing from my notebook to the challenge. I didn't manage any of my mini-goals (3 minute full plank, 1 minute side plank (only missed by 15 seconds) at least 1 minute per day but only missed 3 days through the month) but I did manage the larger challenge, with not a day or a minute to spare.

    1 Oct: 3 min 17 Oct: 3 min
    2 Oct: 6 min 18 Oct: 1 min
    3 Oct: 3 min 19 Oct: 1 min
    4 Oct: 3 min 20 Oct: 1 min

    6 Oct: 3 min 22 Oct: 1 min
    7 Oct: 1 min 23 Oct: 1 min
    8 Oct: 1 min 24 Oct: 1 min
    9 Oct: 0 :( 25 Oct: 0 :(
    10 Oct: 4 min 26 Oct: 1 min
    11 Oct: 1 min 27 Oct: 3 min
    12 Oct: 1 min 28 Oct: 1 min
    13 Oct: 1 min 29 Oct: 3 min
    14 Oct: 0 :( 30 Oct: 8 min*
    15 Oct: 1 min 31 Oct: 4 min**
    16 Oct: 1 min

    Total remaining: 0/60

    The multiple-of-3 sessions are 60 sec full plank, 30 sec side plank (each side), 60 sec full plank. The single minutes are just full plank. I haven't managed the 5 minute variation yet...

    I couldn't do the 5 minute variation. It's still on my wish list, though. *This was two power sessions of 90 second full plank, 45 seconds extended side plank per side, followed by another minute full plank. My ribs hurt for a day, but no regrets. **This was two easy 2 minute sessions of mixed full and side. And got me to the hour's worth of plank - all finished!!!!
