    Goal: Planking without pain

    2/1 - 2 x 30
    2/2 - 2 x 30
    2/3 - 2 x 30
    2/4 - 2 x 30
    2/5 - Rest day

    I think I pulled something when I did my planks on Monday. I was in a lot of pain when I did them on Tuesday so I took off yesterday. I may take another break tonight and then start trying them for a shorter period.
    Total: 4 minutes

    Goal: 100min
    2/1 : 5:00 (during workout)
    2/2 : 5:00 (DareBee 5min Plank, the one leg up and last min were a killer, but I did the whole 5!)
    2/3 : 4:00, variations (30s each)
    2/4 : 5:00, hard (after 3:30)
    2/5 : 1:00 workout (3 x 4 proper push-ups) + 3:00
    2/6: 3:00
    2/7: rest
    2/8: 5:00, Anna Renderer workout (incl. 3 x 3 proper pushups) heavy!
    2/9: 5:00 DareBee (1 leg up really hard and could not hold the last plank still, so side twists)

    So far: 36min
    Remaining: 64min

    Straight arm plank
    Day 1: 1x15, 1x20

    Day 4: 1x30
    Day 5: 1x30

    Day 7: 1x50
    Day 8: 1x60
    Day 9: Rest day
    Day10: 1x60
    Day 11:3x25

    +3 times a week plank variations from my workouts. I didn't note them down but yesterday was abs day and I did many planks (~10 minutes). The side plank pull and side plank reach through killed me. I couldn't do them properly (legs straight) because I don't have enough strength but I didn't give up and did them with bent knees.

    4 weeks post-op and I’m getting much more mobile and stronger. I discovered a few days ago that I could lie on my tummy without pain, then I tried just lifting my head and shoulders up resting on my elbows. That went well, but I was still doing the exercises in bed so it was nice and soft under my tummy. This morning I got out the yoga mat and got down on the floor, and I even managed a (very short) plank (elbows and knees). I didn’t even try to time it, just lifted up off the floor a couple of times.
    I see the surgeon and the physio in two weeks’ time and I’m not going to try too much before then, but it’s encouraging that I can do some exercise.
    I'll be back in the March challenge.
