    TOTAL 9:00

    I'm still working on the full backbend. I can feel how good the stretch is, even with the stool, so I wanna get it so bad...without cracking my neck in six places.

    As for the V Ups, they are oddly easier if I'm doing something along with the hold. Or so I've told myself.

    Yes, I know this does not follow the originally outlined schedule but I'm pretty sure I'm going to max out at 10 min sessions. That said, I can do this in tabata format (basically going through all 12 multiple times but likely no more than 3 tabata rounds/session by month-end).
