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? 🤷♀️
Dec 20: 2:00 planks during workout. Finished week 7 of Heather Robertson's 12 week programme 🎉
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 😆)
Dec 23: 5:00 planks
Dec 24: 5:00 planks
Dec 25: 6:00 planks (it said "6 min planks workout", but there were some rests in between 🤷♀️; let's say I desirved them 😁)
Dec 26: 5:00 planks
Dec 27: 5:00 planks + 10 min legs isometrics (3:30 wall sit + 3:30 bridges + 2 x 0:30 one leg bridge + each 30s: sumo, lunge, squat)
Dec 28: 4:00 planks
Dec 29: 3:00 planks + 6:00 legs, as 3:00 wall sits + 3:00 glute bridges
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. 😁
Dec 30: 5:00 planks during workout (thank you, Heather 😀 )
Nee to do 3:00 more of planks and some legs the last day of the year 😉
