January plank challenge

I hear the key to any surgery is going all in on your PT and doing the exercises as prescribed. I have faith in you. :heart:

I did not want to do my planking tonight, at all, but I had to. Half way through my 2 min 31 sec I thought I was going to call it good, no one will know, but I couldn’t. The last half of that plank sounded and felt like someone was gutting me with a dull, rusty knife!:rofl: But I made it, barely, I really don’t know how I will be able to get much more time than that, but hell, might as well try!!!

Day 20 is done!

I take all the “TS is such a supportive forum” compliments back! :joy:

Day 21 is done in the sense that I did planking :smile: Honestly I made 1:40, not 2:30, but I did it and didn’t say “oh whatever it doesn’t matter” (a kind of thinking that hasn’t helped me in past). Tomorrow is another day!

I don’t know about y’all, but I am impressed with how everyone is handling this challenging challenge. I am excited for it to end, as I always am. Hoping I can find an interesting enough read to allow me to finish it, but accepting that I may toss a quick down dog into the 5 minutes (or before). Will take each day as it arrives.

Great job everyone, including those who bowed out, no shame in knowing and respecting our bodies. :heart:

Day 21 is done! I did my 2m30s again, it wasn’t any easier than the last two times I’ve done it. I have no idea how in the hell I will ever hit 3 minutes let alone 5!!

Day 22 done! I did 2:15 today. First time :man_dancing: Felt good getting up this morning; I felt like I was looking forward to a personal challenge: nothing more and nothing less. It was simple and clear.

I added some pop today just because it’s fun:

Day 22 :heavy_check_mark:, form was not great, but I started a new book and the 3 minutes went almost fast enough so I didn’t curse too much.
