    30 Day Challenge: 5 minutes of planks everyday!

    Challenge Yourself!

    I decided at the end of January that it would be a good idea to force a habit of exercise and do something every day that is both hard and beneficial.

    So, the 30 day challenge was born – technically it runs for calendar months not strictly 30 days, but it still works.

    First up – are 5 minutes of plank exercises every day during February.

    I’m already 10 days into it and it is only just getting easier. Coupled with the HIIT and CrossFit that I also do in the week – some days the planks completely finish me off.

    That said – doing them first thing in the morning is such a sense of achievement and sets me up for the day.

    If you would like to do the same challenge, here are the exercises:

    Kudos to Neila Rey who put the visual together!

    I use the very useful IntervalTimer by Seconds Pro to help me not cheat on the timing. Here is the timer for this plank workout.

    Challenge yourself!

    Next for March: 3 minutes of High Knees every morning!
