    6/60. Wow seems like a long way to go. Today was harder than yesterday. I will persevere!
    Great job to all. I am inspired to see where you are at!

    Four 1-minute forearm planks and it wasn't easy.

    Tried it in the am before anything else: still only 1 minute but I managed FOUR rounds of the same! ( I don’t count anything under 30seconds)

    Yup. Definitely a morning thing for me.

    Only 1x1m effort tonite. (Did burpees instead of planking this morning. And then a 10km run/walk. ) fingers crossed I built momentum over this month! 🙂

    1/6 - 2 minutes. Longest was 50 seconds! Added a day of resting my core yesterday. I have confidence I can add minutes in a couple weeks once I can do this for 2 minutes straight!
    8/60 for the month.

    Lesson learnt: don't plank at the end of cardio; best at the beginning, ideally after warmup.

    Starting a few days late, but I am in! Going to try to go for 60 mins even with the week late start!

    Love the graphics for the different plank styles, I found this very helpful and encouraging to try.

    I do the EMI Wong 10 minute plank. It is hard but fun if you can make it to the end. Highly recommended

    Didn’t even attempt. Banged out a solitary burpee and that’s it. Body needs to have a day off is all. Keep at it you beasts!

    What is a EMI Wong 10 minute plank?
