My goal was 30/60 and to learn to love planks. My rule for the challenge was resting immediately for 1 set of 8 every time I would feel like giving up or was starting to lose form, instead of throwing in the towel. I brought my weights on a family holiday and stayed committed also through hosting in laws. What happened is that after the first part of the challenge I decided to try and not rotate the classes too much and do them more and less in the order of the board. This slowed me down a bit but I still am glad I did it because I tended to avoid 60 min and the plank heavier classes before. I have certainly gained more upper-body strength than I thought I would. During this challenge I also managed to attend my first live finally. A plank class!
Last week I beat the office planking record at work and it gave me such a boost. I credit M/Body entirely for that! Over all it was really good to have a goal, a structure for my summer workouts and though I didnt reach the 30/60 that I wanted I am content. 'There are no solutions, only tradeoffs' has been the mantra of this summer and what I have gained matters more at this point than the numbers on the board. Super grateful for Marnie's guidance and for the awesome community 💜
