I Can and I Will

I am still making my way through Plankvember, it is now day 19 and thankfully this is a rest day!!

Here is what I have achieved since las weeks update :

Day 13 - Rest Day
Day 14 - 1.5 minutes
Day 15 - 1.5 minutes
Day 16 - 2 minutes
Day 17 - 2 minutes
Day 18 - 2.5 minutes

I was surprised with myself that I managed to stay in the plank position for that amount of time. I have been using an interval timer on my phone to tell me when to start and finish the exercise.

I think the key for me is to not actually look at the timer. I can't believe just how long 2 and half minutes feels when I am trying to do the plank. By then end of it my legs and arms are shaking a lot. 

I am noticing that both the tops of my arms and the tops of my legs are left with an aching feeling after doing the exercise so my muscles must be getting a good work out. 

The other difference that I have noticed is that my stomach seems to have pulled in slightly, I've lost the "roundness". I would recommend any of you to give it a go, takes next to no time out of your day, so no excuses for not trying!!
