    Hello, ld like to start. Im new on community. I havent done planking for years. Im not sure if i can do it a gain but i can give it a try. Just baby steps. U all seem to be guru's , itd b a goal for anyhow.

    I'm starting off near the beginning too, it's not just you! My record so far is 45 seconds, so I'm started back at 30 seconds.

    2/1: 1 x 30 seconds
    2/2: 1 x 30 seconds
    2/3: 2 x 20 seconds
    2/4: Forgot until it was almost time to bed, then I decided I was too sleepy. Woops! Well, I worked out my goals for the rest of the month and I think I can make up the time. No more missed days though! Doing my first 30 day challenge in February is a bit mean.

    I decided to add a weekly "burnout" to the beginner's plan in order to get to 60 minutes for the month, and to give myself another progression data point. Week one's total including burnout: 4.5 minutes. 55.5 minutes to go!

    2/1 - 1 x 30 - 0:00:30
    2/2 - 1 x 30 - 0:00:30
    2/3 - 2 x 20 - 0:00:40
    2/4 - 2 x 25 - 0:0
    2/5 - 2 x 25 - 0:00:50
    2/6 - 2 x 30 - 0:01:00, BO - 0:01:00
    2/7 - rest

    Next week's goal (before burnout): 8 minutes, 30 seconds. Woo! I keep vacillating on when the best time to add my planks is - I usually do a 30-45 minute workout in the AM and 10-30 minute stretch in the PM. After my warm-up but before my workout seems to make sense, assuming my morning brain doesn't forget. As with many things, I am doubtless overthinking this.

    I am also working up a complete 10 min skipping WO. Starting with 2x5 min each day. Today i had a rest day bcoz i was getting tight calf muscles. I luv yoga. I do that, my own sort of yoga. It's a bit of pilates added.

    Hi. I am at 16/60 min for the month.

    I didn't realize that I was supposed to track it daily, so I will start doing that from now on.
