    Nothing yesterday but I got back on track today with 4 one-minute forearm planks. I'm working on tightness and tensing muscles to get the most out of my planks. I get sloppy sometimes.

    Dec 1st: taking it easy - 1:30 planks during a HIIT workout

    Dec 4: 1:30, if frog to high plank counts

    Dec 6: 6:00 planks (LIT workout + personal mix)

    Dec 7: 5:00 planks, 5:00 wall sit

    Dec 8: 5:00 (own) mixed planks

    Dec 9: 3:00 planks during HIIT

    Dec 10: 4:00 planks + 5:00 legs iso

    Dec 11: 2:00 planks and 3:00 bridges during a Heather Robertson workout

    Dec 12: 4:30 planks + 13:00 legs iso (5:00 wall sit, 5:00 of various forms of brides, 1:00 each of sumo and static lunges)

    Total and this month's PB:
    Planks: 49:30
    Legs isometrics: 54:00
    Pushups : 12
    Wall sit: 5:00

    Planks vitae 😀 (in minutes):
    November 2020: 117 planks and 111 legs isometrics. PB: 10 pushups, 6 min wall sit
    Octomber 2020: 66, total 151 of isometrics
    September: rest. Did some, during other workouts, but not explicitely/no counting.

    12/2. 3 min.
    12/3 3 min.
    12/4 3 min.
    12/5 3 min.
    12/6 3 min.
    12/7 rest
    12/8 3 min.
    12/9-12/12 no planks
    12/13 3 min.

    Back on track. But I must say three minute is so grueling to me, my heart races, I can barely make it. I do have to put my knees down about three times during those minutes. Just for about 2 seconds.

    You keep at it, though, and it counts and I guarantee it'll get easier with all your endeavors. At least you're persistent...!!!

    5 one-minute forearm planks today and I loathe loathe loathe planks but I'm seeing little muscles starting to poke out and that I attribute to planking!

    Dec 6: 6:00 planks (LIT workout + personal mix)

    Dec 7: 5:00 planks, 5:00 wall sit
    Dec 8: 5:00 (own) mixed planks
    Dec 9: 3:00 planks during HIIT
    Dec 10: 4:00 planks + 5:00 legs iso

    Dec 13: 1:30 during Heather's workout
    Dec 14: 3:30 own mix, because I got distracted
    Dec 15: 5:00 during Heather's workout

    Total and this month's PB:
    Planks: 59:30
    Legs isometrics: 54:00
    Pushups : 12
    Wall sit: 5:00

    P.S. Heather's 12 weeks programme is a challenge by itself and leaves me drained, so doing legs isometrics on top is not really an option. 😁

    November 2020: 117 planks and 111 legs isometrics. PB: 10 pushups, 6 min wall sit
    Octomber 2020: 66, total 151 of isometrics

    Legs isometrics: 64:00
    Pushups : 12
    Wall sit: 5:00

    P.S. Heather's 12 weeks programme is a challenge by itself and leaves me drained, so doing legs isometrics on top is not really an option. 😁
    Planks vitae 😀 (in minutes):
    November 2020: 117 planks and 111 legs isometrics. PB: 10 pushups, 6 min wall sit
    Octomber 2020: 66, total 151 of isometrics
    September: rest. Did some, during other workouts, but not explicitely/no counting.
