Day 24 done. Couldn’t get this one done straight through. Made it to 2m30s and came down for 5s then back up for the last 1m. Tired today, but it’s done. Hoping to do it in one shot tomorrow.

Day 24 done, switched to low for about 30 seconds. I got encouragement from my trainer which got me through.

Day 24 done, split in three this time with 10 seconds rest. I think I am reaching my limit, but I’ll see about that tomorrow.

Day 25 Made it down to a minute, took short break and then struggled through the last minute

Day 25
I think 3m30s is my limit… Crazy how time is slowing down when you plank

If someone starts one for Feb I’ll be in. Sounds like a great and fun challenge.
Best

Day 25 done!!
I like the pleasant soreness in my arms and shoulder and I like a promised rest day tomorrow. Lets go 4 min.

Day 25 done. 2 minutes, high plank, and back down for the rest. Five minutes straight ain’t happening

Day 25 done - I took a 5 second break just before the last minute.

Day 25 done! Much better day, had Tool blasting on the stereo and made the 3:30 in one shot low plank. Wasn’t pretty, there may have been some screaming, but it’s done.

3:30 done, mix between low and high plank with some downward dog to stretch my back, and alot of shaking

@Runningfree

I really think it’s mental at this point and my mind keeps telling me to take a brea

yes!

@Pandita

I have to close my eyes so I don’t look at the timer and try to recite songs and old poems when I was back in school in my head.

thanks for the suggestion - helps!

Almost 3 mins. The remaining time? Modified plank supported by (full contact with) yoga mat/floor.

Seems like very sound advice from someone who knows, lol

[Chevy55]

I suspect I may have been overzealous on this, haha
