I’ve been counting a long in my head, but breaking it up into 5 seconds a piece. So 1,2,3,4,5,5,4,3,2,1 seems to help for some reason. :grin:. Got a consecutive minute 30 seconds today, and wasn’t horrible.

Day 10 & 11. I’ve got to stop doubling up and just do it on the day!

The quality of mercy is not strained.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath.
It is twice blest:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
Wm Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

I do this when I have many many reps. I cut them down in smaller pieces which then also occupies my mind calculating. But often when I have music along and god forsake start singing I forget where I was counting :see_no_evil:

Today was the first day I had to stop and that was because I was in my head about my hand positioning. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: I may try a walking plank tomorrow. I got back into pose and finished though.

Day 15 done. I’m still doing the hollow body holds and finding I can do a single rep for the time goals for the day. I might be gaining a little bit of core, who knows?

A favorite for today:

Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! rage! blow!
You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout
Till you have drench’d our steeples, drown’d the cocks!
You sulph’rous and thought-executing fires,
Vaunt-couriers to oak-cleaving thunderbolts,
Singe my white head! And thou, all-shaking thunder,
Strike flat the thick rotundity o’ th’ world,
Crack Nature’s moulds, all germains spill at once,
That makes ingrateful man!
William Shakespeare, King Lear

I personally find the hollow hold easier but you are probably getting stronger too. :blush:
Day 15 :heavy_check_mark: - during work cause I wanted a break :joy:
