    I did day 1 - 20 seconds.
    It was not bad at all. I know the following ones are going to be a lot more of an effort so I am just going to be happy about it for now.

    Me too! I got to 20 and it was okay. Today will be tricky though!

    i used to be able to 1min30secs plank, at the moment I could just about do a minute so I hope I can get back it back up and aim for 2 mins!

    Yesterday was day four, which the App said was a rest day. But I was too impatient to see if I could do the day 5 one. So I did! 48 seconds! :#

    Just did day 5 - 48 seconds. The cat was all up in my face and I started giggling so it went by kind of fast luckily.

    I just did my daily plank - Day 9. 01:16. It was hard! Particularly because I tried earlier but forgot to start the countdown... not sure how I'm going to do tomorrow though!

    Oh geez. About how long did you get before you noticed?

    I felt like I was at least halfway, but time passes so slowly while planking I really don't know! Today, I tried and failed at 01:23 after yoga... but managed later! I would never have thought I could do it if you'd asked me two weeks ago!

    I agree. I remember the 27 seconds on day 2 being a struggle.
    Last night I did 01:23 as well. I was shaking and sweating but I earned the check mark.

    Great job and keep it up.

    Day 11
    1:30

    I tried yesterday but I failed. I dropped 10 seconds short.
    But I did it today.

    Yesterday was rest day. Today at Bootcamp we had to do quite a few planks. I did so much better than before the challenge started!!

    Because I did them at bootcamp it will be another rest day for me. Back at it tomorrow.
