    I'm really new to this so I'm going to go with a pretty modest goal for the first month. I have decided to go with this chart:

    I am going to set an overall goal at 40 minutes though. Because I know that the days that are really shorter should be pretty easy for me so for those I'm going to do the seconds listed but a variety of them.

    August 1: 15 seconds high plank, 15 seconds elbow plank, 15 seconds right side plank, 15 seconds left side plank

    AUGUST TOTAL: 1/40 minutes completed

    If you do the same 2X15 as yesterday, you will have exceeded the day's target .... honestly, since you KNOW you can do 15 secs, (because you already have), encouraging yourself through an extra 5 isn't so bad. And TOMORROW will be even easier, because you will already know you can do it, because you already have! (if worst comes to worst, and you "only" do 17 or 18 seconds ..... pause ..... and then 10 seconds more. Or if you were really shaky and at the end of your arms' endurance, wait an hour or more, and then try for 20 again.

    Goal for August - 50 minutes (may increase later)

    08/01 zero (but found baseline for push-up accountability challenge I am also doing)
    08/02 (PoH, RvP, LSP, RSP 30 secs each) X 2 = 4 mins (makes up for yesterday; will probably keep with the 2 rounds each day for now)

    Done: 04

    8/1 - 2 min. plank
    8/2 - day off
    8/3 - goal is for 2 min. plank and 2 min side plank.

    I don't have a monthly goal. I just want to expand and challenge my existing plank practice. :smile:

    I'm joining late! I definitely need some planking in my life. Been meaning to do this for well over a year. :/
    Let's start at 60 minutes to be realistic. Glad to be here!!
