    I want so badly to be back in, that I'd rather not be terribly accurate, just to prevent postponing until I can write in the usual format.

    So... In October I kinda did:

    10/2: 2:00 planks during Pollard's tabata. The 2:00 wall sits were looong!

    10/4: 5:00 planks or more, cause this Day's Epic Heat had more pushups that I can bare :smiley:

    10/5: 3:00 planks (renegate rows, 10kg x 2 DB) + 3:00 wall sit (hard, gotta get back to it!)

    Total so far:
    Planks: 10:00
    Leg Isoms: 5:00
    Pushups:

    Time to get serious! 🙌

    Didn't get any wall sit in yesterday. Not sure why it's so hard to take 3 min for a wall sit or planks when I am alone in the office, but there we go 🤷‍♀️.

    10/13: totally cool, today's Epic was Iso&Plyo. So I got 11:00 of Isometrics, all lower body! 👍

    Total so far:
    Planks: 36:00
    Leg Isoms: 30:00

    Catching up 😉
