My goals for the month:
• 100 min of planks ✅
• lower body isometrics ✅
• more than 10 push-ups in a row. ✅4/1: 4:00 with Heather Robertson + 1:00
4/2: 5:00 with Caroline Girvan. During workout: 1:30 wall sits.
4/3: 20 min isometrics with growingannanas. I skipped the handstand. Maybe I will have the courage to try it by the end of the month? The workout was 5:00 planks and 10:00 legs.
I ended up doing a workout on Sunday which had more planks in it... So
4/4: 5:00 planks with Lille Sabri, v. doable 👍
+ 3:00 during HIIT (or more 🤷♀️)
4/5: rest day (plank-wise), but got 15 pushups in (last 3 were a struggle, but I got myself off the ground). The strength workout had some legs isometrics in, I would say roughly 3:00 in total.
4/6: Planks: 3:00 during workout + 3:00 Bowflex. Isometrics (legs): 4:00 wall sit (hard! 😐)
4/7: 5:00 planks
4/8: 5:00 during Le Sweat HIIT session
4/9: 5:00 with Caroline Girvan + 3:00 wall sit
4/10: 2:00 during back/biceps workout + 2:00 wall sit (didn't manage the 20 min isometrics with growingannanas, unfortunatelly)
4/11: rest day
4/12: 5:00 planks + 15 tricep pushups, yeay!
4/13: about 3 min planks in total during HIIT, but wont count them, since I am not so sure about 4/8 (not reccording daily has me forgetting 🤦♀️)
4/14: 4:00 planks & 3:00 wallsits during 🔥 dumbell workout, each in 45 sec slots
4/15: 20 min isometrics with growingannanas. I did a very wide handstand!!! The workout was 5:00 planks and 10:00 legs (the rest was core). It felt doable this time, but since I doubt that I gained strength in 12 days (even if Girvan's Epic gives me a clear sense of progress), I will just say that some days are better than others! 👍
4/15: I also did about 2:00 planks during Epic 1 workout
4/16: none, rest day
4/17: 5:00 planks during a Tabata workout
4/18: rest day, throughout. Smart decision ;-)
4/19: 2 workouts, where we also planked: 5:00, in 0:45 chunks + 2:00, in 1:00 sets.
The 2nd workout had a 1:00 wall sit, which was v. double. 1h later I decided to wallsit some more: by 2:30 I thought omG 😞. So I "sat" for 4:00 🤷♀️. I blame the pain on my 🧦 socks 🤭
4/20: 3:00 planks w Bowflex
4/21: 2:30 planks during Epic workout
4/22: 4:30 planks with Heather Robertson and 5:00 wall sit (yeay!)
4/23: 3:00 planks during HIIT + 2:30 walls sit
4/24: 5:00 planks, own mix + 5:30 wall sit + 1:30 courtsey holds
4/25: rest day (hike)
4/26: no isometrics, but 17 pushups, PR!
4/27: 5:00 planks, own mix
4/28: 4:30 planks, 4:00 wall (erm.. door 😀) sit
My last post got lost, apparently. How cool is that? I think I can remember the numbers, though:
4/29: 4:30 planks and 6:00 legs
4/30: planned rest
Total planks so far: 100:00
Legs Isometrics: 65:00
PRs April:
* 17 pushups (26.4.)
* wide wall stand
* 5:30 wall sit (24.4.)1
