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 💜

1. Do at least 30/60. If I manage 45 it will be an added bonus. I am on vacation with family but packed my weights, and am excited to use them! A year ago I felt intimidated by every arm series and did all of them without weights, but now they're my favorite.

2. Which brings me to my next goal, which is to get to the same place with planks and push ups. I will do it the same way, meaning, I give in and rest when Im at the point of losing the form. And that rest means one set.

3. Prioritizing the right macros in my meals to feel energized and stable throughout the day bloodsugar-wise with less sweet cravings. This is, consciously, an ongoing project supervised by a nutritionist since a couple months back.
