    Honestly I'm not sure what my goal is at this point. I was able to do everything yesterday but apparently my back didn't heal enough as I had to dial it back today. I surpassed my goal of times and dips and added in Joanna Soh's plank challenge so I'm satisfied as long as I can get back to it soon!

    1st 5 minutes straight arm, 3 minutes straight arm, 90 seconds 15 dips each side.
    2nd 5 minutes straight arm, 3 minutes straight arm, 90 seconds 15 dips each side.
    3rd 5 minutes straight arm, 3 minutes straight arm, 90 seconds 15 dips each side.
    4th 5 minutes straight arm, 3.5 minutes straight arm 90 seconds 15 dips each side
    5th 5 minutes straight arm, 4 minutes straight arm, 90 seconds each side 15 dips
    6th 5.15 minutes straight arm, 4 minutes straight arm, 90 seconds each side, 20 dips
    7th 5 minutes 30 seconds straight arm, 4 minutes 30 seconds straight arm, 100 seconds each side, 20 dips
    8th 6 minutes straight arm, 4 minutes straight arm,90 seconds each side, 20 dips
    8th 6 minutes straight arm, 4.10 straight arm (not sure why I'm doing two), 100 seconds each side, 20 dips
    9th 6 minutes straight arm, 4.15 straight arm, 105 seconds each side, 25 dips
    10th 6 minutes straight arm, 4.30 straight arm, 105 seconds each side, 25 dips
    11th 6 minutes 10 seconds straight arm, 4min 30 sec straight arm, 105 seconds each side, 25 dips
    ___hm, I'm missing a day somehow, I've done them every day so I don't know where I screwed up!
    13th 6 minutes 15 seconds straight arm, 4 min 30 sec straight arm, 105 seconds each side 25 dips
    14th 6 minutes 30 seconds straight arm, 4 min 30 sec straight arm, 105 seconds each side 30 dips
    15th 6 minutes 30 seconds straight arm, 4 minutes 50 sec straight arm, 110 seconds each side 30 dips
    16th 6 minutes 30 seconds straight arm, Joanna Soh's plank challenge, 100 seconds each side 30 dips
    17th 6 minutes 40 seconds straight arm, Joanna Soh's plank challenge, 100 seconds each side 30 dips
    18th 7 minutes straight arm, yay! Joanna Soh's plank challenge, 110 seconds each side, 30 dips
    19th 7.5 minutes straight arm, Joanna Soh's plank challenge, 120 seconds each side 30 dips
    20th 8 minutes straight arm, Joanna Soh's plank challenge, 120 seconds each side 30 dips
    21st 4 minutes straight arm, Joanna Soh's plank challenge
    ===had to stop my planks as my back's acting up, I've had back surgeries and have chronic pain so I have to let it recover before doing more planks.
    23rd Didn't do my longer planks or Joanna Soh challenge but did an ab workout with 120 seconds planks and 30 second side planks each side.
    24th Regular planks on hold and will try tomorrow, did 120 seconds planks with 30 seconds planks each side.
    25th 120 second planks with 30 sides, Joanna Soh's plank challenge. I may just stick with these two workouts for now since they both have plank varieties that are more challenging than holding an 8 minute plank. Not sure if I'll go back to sides or not, I do side ones with leg lifts in my ab workout.
    26th Regular plank: 8 minutes 45 seconds, side planks 120 seconds with 30 side dips, Joanna Soh's 5 minute plank challenge
    27th Ab workout with planks 120 seconds with sides 30 seconds each, 60 seconds Joanna Soh's plank challenge before I had to stop, grr!

    Hi fellow crazy plankers! I managed to get back in the game today, I'm not able to do my long ones right now but did Joanna Soh's 5 minute plank challenge and my ab workout with 3 minutes of planks. Thought I'd share a couple fun varieties. The hardest of Joanna Soh's (Dewit may have an opinion too) is going from elbow planks to doing "walks" where you go from elbows to hands and back down again. In my ab workout there's two challenging ones, the first you side plank and do leg lifts. The toughest is doing spidermans where you lift the leg out to the side, then do a pushup, then lift the other side, pushup. I can do pushups and I can do planks and spiderman planks but the combo is a bear!

    1st 5 minutes straight arm, 3 minutes straight arm, 90 seconds 15 dips each side.
    2nd 5 minutes straight arm, 3 minutes straight arm, 90 seconds 15 dips each side.
    3rd 5 minutes straight arm, 3 minutes straight arm, 90 seconds 15 dips each side.
    4th 5 minutes straight arm, 3.5 minutes straight arm 90 seconds 15 dips each side
    5th 5 minutes straight arm, 4 minutes straight arm, 90 seconds each side 15 dips
    6th 5.15 minutes straight arm, 4 minutes straight arm, 90 seconds each side, 20 dips
    7th 5 minutes 30 seconds straight arm, 4 minutes 30 seconds straight arm, 100 seconds each side, 20 dips
    8th 6 minutes straight arm, 4 minutes straight arm,90 seconds each side, 20 dips
    8th 6 minutes straight arm, 4.10 straight arm (not sure why I'm doing two), 100 seconds each side, 20 dips
    9th 6 minutes straight arm, 4.15 straight arm, 105 seconds each side, 25 dips
    10th 6 minutes straight arm, 4.30 straight arm, 105 seconds each side, 25 dips
    11th 6 minutes 10 seconds straight arm, 4min 30 sec straight arm, 105 seconds each side, 25 dips
    ___hm, I'm missing a day somehow, I've done them every day so I don't know where I screwed up!
    13th 6 minutes 15 seconds straight arm, 4 min 30 sec straight arm, 105 seconds each side 25 dips
    14th 6 minutes 30 seconds straight arm, 4 min 30 sec straight arm, 105 seconds each side 30 dips
    15th 6 minutes 30 seconds straight arm, 4 minutes 50 sec straight arm, 110 seconds each side 30 dips
    16th 6 minutes 30 seconds straight arm, Joanna Soh's plank challenge, 100 seconds each side 30 dips
    17th 6 minutes 40 seconds straight arm, Joanna Soh's plank challenge, 100 seconds each side 30 dips
    18th 7 minutes straight arm, yay! Joanna Soh's plank challenge, 110 seconds each side, 30 dips
    19th 7.5 minutes straight arm, Joanna Soh's plank challenge, 120 seconds each side 30 dips
    20th 8 minutes straight arm, Joanna Soh's plank challenge, 120 seconds each side 30 dips
    21st 4 minutes straight arm, Joanna Soh's plank challenge
    ===had to stop my planks as my back's acting up, I've had back surgeries and have chronic pain so I have to let it recover before doing more planks.
    23rd Didn't do my longer planks or Joanna Soh challenge but did an ab workout with 120 seconds planks and 30 second side planks each side.
    24th Regular planks on hold and will try tomorrow, did 120 seconds planks with 30 seconds planks each side.
    25th 120 second planks with 30 sides, Joanna Soh's plank challenge. I may just stick with these two workouts for now since they both have plank varieties that are more challenging than holding an 8 minute plank. Not sure if I'll go back to sides or not, I do side ones with leg lifts in my ab workout.
    26th Regular plank: 8 minutes 45 seconds, side planks 120 seconds with 30 side dips, Joanna Soh's 5 minute plank challenge
    27th Ab workout with planks 120 seconds with sides 30 seconds each, 60 seconds Joanna Soh's plank challenge before I had to stop, grr!
    28th Ab workout with planks, 120 seconds with sides 30 seconds each with leg lifts, skipping all further planks until back is better
    29th Ab workout with 120 seconds with sides 30 seconds each with leg lifts, Joanna Soh's 5 minute plank challenge. Not doing the long holds or pushups until back's 100%.

    Goal achieved! Set a higher goal next month.

    I'm exactly 11 weeks post-op and making good progress. It is frustrating that the gym is closed because I wanted to get back to some strength training. I'm walking and cycling and of course, planking (with some press-ups), so my cardio fitness is good.
    Next month I hope to get back to the 6 minutes per day I was doing pre-op.

    31 Ab workout 120 seconds with sides 30 seconds with leg lifts, Joanna Soh's 5 minute plank challenge, 10 minute plank, woot woot!

    I doubled my March starting plank time of 5 minutes today so I'm happy, my goal was going up to 6 minutes so 10 is awesome! The plank challenge was new, I love doing that and hope to get faster at the harder ones. The ab workout is new this month too and I'll keep doing both that and the plank challenge daily. I was unable to do side planks for beating my time but reached my goal for the month. I'm not sure of my goals for next month yet.
