Ugh. 90-second Planks are hard for me.
Thought it would help to watch a music video on YouTube instead of watching the clock count down on my cell phone. The plan backfired 'cuz I kept thinking "when is this bloody song going to be over?!?" and quit 6 seconds short.
Tomorrow is supposed to be 2 minutes if planks. Wondering if I should try for the full 2 min or break it up into two doable 1 minute planks. Thoughts?1 -

90 second planks suck for me too. It took me a while to do one for a minute. Planks up on straight arms may be easier. It depends on what works for you. If you're definition is on forearms, then so be it. I'd split it up into 2, but just see how long you can go. If you do 2-67 second planks, it's a bonus! It's your fitness. Push yourself, but keep good form. Happy Planking!40lbslighter wrote: »September's Arms & Planks do-over for me!

Thank you for the feedback and encouragement @MiamiSeoul & @SheilaCali!
Decided to go as long as I could, and if I was short of 90 sec, I would add another 1-minute plank as "punishment." Whelp, failed at both, but total minutes was +10 sec more than today's challenge target...so there's that.

Sprinting is not in my vocabulary right now. I have only 6 weeks until my Italy trip, so 1/2 is better than none. Good luck all...the holiday eating season has unofficially started.
How exciting @SheilaCali. That's such a huge thing to be looking forward to!! Hope you have an absolute blast!!
