Day 13. Almost missed it. Just realized n pushed myself to get it done. Wasn’t easy…but, seeing everyone’s progress gave me enough push.

Day 17 done. Just over 2 min, feeling like I’m peaked! Tomorrow is suppose to be 2 min 30 sec, I don’t know if that’s going to happen, but I’m going to try! Happy planking everyone!!

I know! But this is such a good mental exercise. I was chuckling again yesterday, so far into the future in my head, and thinking “I’m completely fine with never drinking again ever. Ever ever ever. But eff, how am I gonna ever plank for 5 whole minutes?” :joy:

Stay in the present, M! Easier said than done. :smile: :laughing:

Day 17 :heavy_check_mark: held as long as possible 1:35. Took a small break and finished the last bit. I think the hardest part for me is breathing. For some reason I tend to try and hold my breath. I do this with other exercises also. Who knew breathing was so hard :woman_shrugging:t2::joy:

Day 14. Went down to over 2 min. Mark, but satisfied. Post surgery back pain getting worse but pushing through. Determined.

Day 15 complete. I definitely feel like I am getting to the edge of my physical abilities to hold a continuous plank but I am intrigued to see how far I will be able to continue.

I set a timer, closed my eyes, and focused on my breathing. I will get 2 minutes tomorrow and the day after. What a great mental challenge this will be beyond that.

Day 17 and 18 done. Shouldn’t have skipped the previous days. Need to keep them up. But I cannot see myself doing 5 min.

I did day 18 today. The target is 2:30, but I stopped at 1 min for a few seconds then got to 1:25 then stopped. I’ve been farther before but my muscles felt stiff and sore. I think I’m going to call today a sort of rest day :smile: and then tomorrow’s a rest day, then come back to it on the 20th and see how I feel

Day 18 :heavy_check_mark:. I couldn’t sleep (insomnia sucks!), so I planked in the dark - just me and my stopwatch. Gawd, what a life! :rofl:
