    Total 89 minutes - I got my sums wrong last time.

    Well, I didn't keep up with the planks while I was away this time, no excuses, I just didn't do them. On the plus side I did quite a lot of walking - the weather was lovely and sunny.

    [gap due to real sore stomach muscles)
    5/12 2x30sec tapping toes forward
    5/15 2x30sec tapping toes forward
    5/19 2x30 sec + yoga poses

    Thanks for the challenge! It was a tough! My yoga teachers have also been doing timed planks in class. I’ve seen my improvement in class as a result of doing this challenge.

    5/15 2x30sec tapping toes forward
    5/19 2x30 sec + yoga poses

    I have a correction to make - I got confused at the end of the month. I decided in advance to have a day off on Friday 31st so put my last update in on Thursday 30th pm, but then got confused and added an extra 5.5 minutes on the end of the list. So my total was about 124 minutes.
