    Going for
    100 min of planks and
    75 min legs isometrics
    Would also love to be able to do more than 10 (15 pushups would be nice) in a row
    Dec 1st: taking it easy - 1:30 planks during a HIIT workout

    Dec 2st: legs workout, so added a 6:00 planks workout at the end and decided to be reasonable and leave the legs isometrics out for today. I should do those quick isometrics during my day rather than post workout!

    Dec 3: 6:00 planks + 4:00 wall sit + 5:00 glute bridges

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

    Dec 5: 12:00 leg isometrics (4:00 wall sit + 2 x 0:45 static lunge + 0:30 sumo squat + 6:00 glute bridges) + 5:00 planks of modified Soh

    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)

    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
    Dec 16: 4:30 planks, own mix + 5:00 wall sit + 5:00 glute bridges (after a heavy leg workout)

    Dec 17: rest day
    Dec 18: rest day
    Dec 19: back in full gear: 7:00 planks (2:00 during tabata + 5:00 out of a 7 min MadFit challenge) + 12:00 legs (4:00 wall sit, 5:00 bridges and the rest was static lunge, sumo and squat). Why did I say bridges were easy? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

    Total and this month's PB:
    Planks: 64:00
    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 πŸ˜€ (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.

    @dewit Wall sit for five min. is terrific ! I am going to try it but I think one minute may be all I can do.

    A challenge. 5 days a week programme, for 12 weeks consecutively. You need dumbbells and a stability ball. She does HIIT, Tabata, strength (lifting using dumbbells). It's free and challenging. She advertises this way: https://youtu.be/Rd6ao0klUb8 . I found out through an MFP friend and am quite happy, though she did get "brutal" (using her terminology) πŸ˜€.

    Going for
    100 min of planks and
    75 min legs isometrics
    Would also love to be able to do more than 10 (15 pushups would be nice) in a row
    Dec 1st: taking it easy - 1:30 planks during a HIIT workout

    Dec 2st: legs workout, so added a 6:00 planks workout at the end and decided to be reasonable and leave the legs isometrics out for today. I should do those quick isometrics during my day rather than post workout!

    Dec 3: 6:00 planks + 4:00 wall sit + 5:00 glute bridges

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

    Dec 5: 12:00 leg isometrics (4:00 wall sit + 2 x 0:45 static lunge + 0:30 sumo squat + 6:00 glute bridges) + 5:00 planks of modified Soh

    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)

    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

    Dec 16: 4:30 planks, own mix + 5:00 wall sit + 5:00 glute bridges (after a heavy leg workout)

    Dec 17: rest day
    Dec 18: rest day
    Dec 19: back in full gear: 7:00 planks (2:00 during tabata + 5:00 out of a 7 min MadFit challenge) + 12:00 legs (4:00 wall sit, 5:00 bridges and the rest was static lunge, sumo and squat). Why did I say bridges were easy? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

    Dec 20: 2:00 planks during workout. Finished week 7 of Heather Robertson's 12 week programme πŸŽ‰

    Dec 21: 2:00 planks + 5:00 wall sit

    Dec 22: planks: 1:00 + 5:00 own combo
    Other isometrics: 1:30 squats + 1:30 static lunge + 5:00 wall sit (crazy!) + 2:30 bridges (told you they are tougher than I claimed in the firdt place, but maybe it's Heather's fault πŸ˜†)

    Dec 23: 5:00 planks

    Total and this month's PB:
    Planks: 79:00
    Legs isometrics: 79:00 - goal met!
    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 πŸ˜€ (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.
