    Going for 100 minutes again.
    8/1: 5:00 (roughly 2:00 during HasFits HIIT workout w dumbbells + 4:00 straight, on my own)
    8/2: 4×1:00 ups and downs + 1:00 extra
    8/3 + 8/4: none
    8/5: 6:00
    8/6: 4:00 ups and downs (GBC, Day 1)
    8/7: 5:00 (partly during a Tabata abs workout)
    8/8: another 5 down 🙌
    8/9: planed to do 3min, but kept going for 1 more minute 😊: 4:00
    8/10: Tried the planks from here (some I knew, the biceps was a killer!), holding some for 1 min, some for 30s (the biceps for like 20s) https://youtu.be/VH5F-dKoM98
    Total: 5 min
    8/11: 2:30 min during HasFits workout, then 1:30 while they cooled down 😄🙈
    8/12: let's say I took a day off 🤷‍♀️😀
    8/13: 4:00 ups and downs (GBC, Day 1) + 2:00 for the fun of it 😀 (can you tell that I'm in a good mood? 😊; no particular reason)
    8/14: 7:00 Pamela Reif makes it look easy, but it isn't (to me, at least). Had to go half way through to side planks, then went on like her.
    8/15: 3:00. Do pushups count as planks? These 3 min after lifting and doing pushups were a struggle today. Well, that's how we build 💪, right?
    8/16: felt like taking a break, so rest day
    8/17: thought of planking for 3 min, pushed it further to 4 and ended up doing 5:00 😀
    8/18: 5:00 (4 × 1:00 ups&downs, part of GBC Day1 + 1:00 straight arm)
    8/19: 4:00 at the end of a kickboxing workout
    8/20: long demanding hike, no planks
    8/21: none, top tief. No freaking idea why I dont do the planks in the first half of the day 🤨
    8/22: 4:00
    8/23: 5:00 (Soh's, modified) + 3:00 during tabata (new workout)
    8/24: 4:00
    8/25: 5:00, then managed to get my 🏋️‍♀️ Day 1 of GBC in and that meant ups&downs, so I did 3 more sets (a 1 min)
    8/26: 3:30 during a HIIT workout, then 1:30 as they cooled down 😁
    8/27: none, stressfull dans and tired
    8/28: 5:00
    8/29: 5:00 (Le Sweat on popsugars + 1:00 on my own before cooldown)
    8/30: 4:00 combos and since I did my 🏋️‍♀️ session in the evening, I ended up doing 3:00 more of ups&sowas

    8/31: 6:00, own mix

    I did it (again)! 🤸‍♀️

    Total: 125 minutes.

    FINAL TOTAL...

    PLANK HOLDS: 63 min
    WORKOUTS: 5 sessions (no weights)
    WORKOUTS: 3.5 sessions (weights)

    Up until about 20 min ago, I thought today was AUG30 and that I still had another whole day to complete this challenge. Oof.

    As you can see, I failed on the advanced plank workout from Women's Health but at least got the plank holds in.

    See you in the next thread!

    This was another very mixed month - too many "rest days" (just lazy really)

    I need to get back into the habit of getting the planks done in the morning. It's only a few minutes and then it's done.

    Saying that, I haven't done today's yet. First day of a new month, start as you mean to go on.
