Day 30 done in two chunks, 2 and 3 minutes. I did not anticipate how much the workouts yesterday would impact my plank today!

What’s on for February, lads?

Marcus Aurelius , Meditations , Book 4, entry 6
That sort of person is bound to do that. You might as well resent a fig tree for secreting juice. (Anyway, before very long you’ll both be dead - dead and soon forgotten.)

The Stoicism of Marcus strikes me at times as fatalistic and devoid of emotion. I have to keep in mind that these are notes he wrote to himself, and may be incomplete. But it makes for hard sledding, sometimes.

I didn’t have plans on a february challenge. I’m gonna focus on my PT and regular working out. I think @TrustyBird will be doing this again to improve form.

Day 30 done! Not in one shot, I’m sore all over! 3m then down for 15s, back up for the last 2m. Unfortunately this is not the end of planking for me, lots more at boot camp, but this has definitely helped.

Great work everyone!

@Mischa84 you’re a beast!! Awesome job!

That was nothing like a @Mischa84 plank. That was ugly and shaky and sweaty and swearing. But I did it.
Thanks for being here to motivate all, you made the month fun. And @Mischa84 a straight through 5 minute low plank makes you a certified goddess. :crown:
Way to go strong folks! :muscle:t3:🫵🏼

I did my last one before bed last night, shifted into lots of different body positions so the shaking didn’t tear my arms off but I made the time, secretly glad it’s over

Count me in! Thank you. I perhaps should have started with the push-up challenge? It’d probably help with getting off the floor after collapsing from a whole 3mins 15 secs (I’m proud!) of planking… :sweat_smile:

But @Mischa84 ! You take the cake! I think non-stop keeping up to 3 boys (under the age of 5?) is its own fitness craze! :rofl: Congrats to you!

Thank you, fellow plankers. This was fun and, kinda like recovery, the group effort makes it somehow easier, and definitely harder for me not to show up. :pray: :orange_heart:

I’m jumpin on this train!

I haven’t been reporting in the daily workouts and stuff as I’ve taken a step back away from my phone and been out there LIVIN, but I’ve stayed in the gym. This’ll be a good challenge

I’m in! :sunglasses:
I might add the squats to it!

Why not. Let’s start 2025 with hard things :rofl:

Not doing extra squats though but will do plank!
