plank challenge – Say Yes to Happy

So for those of you who are doing the 30 Day Plank Challenge with me, we are a little big past the half way mark! It’s been pretty awesome so far.

Yesterday my boyfriend and I did our first 2 minute plank! It was pretty hard but felt so good. My hands were soaking wet with sweat. It’s the longest plank we have ever done so that was exciting! We are on track as of now and it’s cool to see your fitness change so quickly and to see how you can push yourself past what you think is your limit.

So if you’re still doing the plank challenge with me, keep going! And if you haven’t started yet, what are you waiting for?!

Today I discovered a fantastic fitness website called 30 Day Fitness Challenges on Pinterest and I am SO excited! It has various challenges with daily schedules laid out for how many of each exercise you have to do a day. For the month of January I have started this plank challenge.

Even though it’s still early, it is only 6 days into the new year, I have been doing my planks every day. But I will admit that since yesterday was super jam packed I missed my first plank. But I made up for it by doing two today. So don’t quit if you get off schedule by a little bit, just get right back at it and make up for it.

The idea of doing a plank for 5 minutes sounds pretty crazy, since I usually only do planks for a minute. But hopefully if I keep up with this schedule I’ll be right on track and surprising myself.

I know it’s a week into the month already, but you don’t have to wait until the 1st of the month to start. So get going! No more excuses 🙂

So let’s start out the new year right by concentrating on fitness, and keep it going through out the year!!
