5/2: 4:00 planks during Tabata with Heather R
5/3: 6:00 plank challenge (Heather Robertson)
5/4: none, but 19 pushups!
5/5: 7:00 planks, out of which 6:00 during Epic Day 29 "Isometric and Dynamic w DB, full body". During which, 5:00 legs isometrics
5/6: 6:00 planks + 6:00 wall sit + 17 pushups
5/7: I remembered! 4:00 during Caroline's Epic (day 30) pushups round π. Just because!
5/8: 5:00 planks, own mix + π₯ 20 pushups!
5/9: 4:00 planks + 0:45 V-SitUp, during low intensity workout with Rachel Gulotta
5/10: 4:00 during Tabata w. Rachel Gulotta
5/11: 6:00 planks during Epic. There are some leg isometrics here and there in the video workouts, too.
5/12: none, super busy and sleep deprived
5/13: 5:00 wall sit + 6:00 planks with HasFit, during their 20 min HIIT. Still super busy...
5/14: 4:00 planks, but I am not doing this Video ever again! Ellbow plank, then lateral x 2, then face up. Each 1min. Just weird.
5/15: 4:30 planks during Epic, all obliques!
Has it been that long since I have posted? π€¨
5/16: none, rest after a hardcore week
5/17: let's say 2:00 plank-like; during HIIT, she had pushups + rotation and face-up, triceps + toe touch. 3 x 45 of each. Counting it as 2 min is a good compromise, I think
5/18: 7:00 planks during Epic (each 45s), because I replaced some pushups with planks and then she had planks in the end. She's throwing in arms isometrics every now and thenβ£
5/19: 5:00 planks during Epic, HIIT day. Tabata Style, i.e. 20s each
5/20: I just wall sat for 7:00! And let me tell you, my quads are already badly sore after the workouts from the past 2 days. So, yeah! π

@lazycat2018 I found that when holding for longer than 30 seconds, my form wasn't as good, but if I hold for 30 seconds and really concentrate on contracting all of my muscles, I feel I have a better workout. But I think it's personal preference.
From what I read, a hold of 30 seconds to 1 minute is the ideal time. I just prefer 30 seconds holds, as I feel I get more out of it.1 -

For me it was a note to make: respect your body, don't abuse it in any way, don't over indulge, don't deprive yourself of anything necessary for proper functioning. I have been hydrating properly and eating responsibly since, better to be safe than sorry.
Wow, what a scare! So glad that there's no underlying condition and happy to read you're well and things are back to normal. Your husband is wonderful β£

@lazycat2018 I think @sweetdaisy13 has probably the best reasoning, keeping good form.
Outside of that, if you can keep good form longer than 30 seconds then it becomes a case of what you are trying to achieve. Most people use isometrics for strength, and if that is what you are going for then you should target 30 seconds (maybe up to 45) with a few minutes rest in between, just like is done with weight training. But at some point you won't gain any more strength, just maintain it (perfectly fine). If you want more strength then you need a harder hold or add weights, leverage, something.
Alternatively you could also just go for more time. At that point though you are going from strength training into endurance training and you may find that it won't be too terribly long before your muscles adapt to oxidative training and you can hold it for a long time, maybe more than you care to do in order to really feel it.
No matter what, keeping good form is the #1 goal. It's better to do 5 seconds with good form than struggle for 30 with bad.1 -

@sweetdaisy13 I have also read that 30 sec holds are considered ideal, well, they are definitely easier to hold but a little harder to count

Am obviously going to fail at the last one, but I'd be good if I got one in, this week!5/1: none
5/2: 4:00 planks during Tabata with Heather R
5/3: 6:00 plank challenge (Heather Robertson)
5/4: none, but 19 pushups!
5/5: 7:00 planks, out of which 6:00 during Epic Day 29 "Isometric and Dynamic w DB, full body". During which, 5:00 legs isometrics
5/6: 6:00 planks + 6:00 wall sit + 17 pushups
5/7: I remembered! 4:00 during Caroline's Epic (day 30) pushups round π. Just because!
5/8: 5:00 planks, own mix + π₯ 20 pushups!
5/9: 4:00 planks + 0:45 V-SitUp, during low intensity workout with Rachel Gulotta
5/10: 4:00 during Tabata w. Rachel Gulotta
5/11: 6:00 planks during Epic. There are some leg isometrics here and there in the video workouts, too.
5/12: none, super busy and sleep deprived
5/13: 5:00 wall sit + 6:00 planks with HasFit, during their 20 min HIIT. Still super busy...
5/14: 4:00 planks, but I am not doing this Video ever again! Ellbow plank, then lateral x 2, then face up. Each 1min. Just weird.
5/15: 4:30 planks during Epic, all obliques!
5/16: none, rest after a hardcore week
5/17: let's say 2:00 plank-like; during HIIT, she had pushups + rotation and face-up, triceps + toe touch. 3 x 45 of each. Counting it as 2 min is a good compromise, I think
5/18: 7:00 planks during Epic (each 45s), because I replaced some pushups with planks and then she had planks in the end. She's throwing in arms isometrics every now and thenβ£
5/19: 5:00 planks during Epic, HIIT day. Tabata Style, i.e. 20s each
5/20: wall sat for 7:00! + 2:30 planks during Epic workout
5/21: rest day (stressfull day@work)
5/22: 5:00 planks with Heather Robertson + 1:30 (or more?) leg holds during Girvan's Epic
5/23: 7:00 planks w Pamela Rief + 3:00 (there were 3 looong minutes) wall sit
5/24: the 20 min workout of growingannanas: 5:00 planks and 10:00 legs (+ core)
5/25: 6:00 (or more) of planks during Epic, Day 38
5/26: 3:00 planks + 1:00 squat holds w DB (Epic Day 39)
The reason why I mention the workouts is that planks are not for the 3:00 (say) straight, but rather spread throughout the workout.
Total: 101:00 planks, 42:30 legs&glutes
PRs:
* 19 pushups on 5/4
* 20 pushups on 5/8
* 6 min wallsit on 5/6
* 7 min wallsit on 5/204 -
