adminMaybe I am!
Now that I’ve done almost 2 weeks of this challenge it should be getting easier. Right? It doesn’t feel like its getting easier. Though I do not hurt as much as I did the first few days. I guess thats the beauty of doing some kind of challenge. It gets harder each day.
The days I find the most challenging are the ones I have to do all the plank styles. Like on day 10. Plank, rocking plank, hip dips, & up-downs; oh boy! I’m still not very good at the up-downs but I decided I just have to do the best I can.
I did notice this week that my stomach had a small ache, that was like I had been spending all my time laughing. And though I laugh a lot that is not the source of the pain. Something good must be happening.
How are you doing?
For a reminder here are the moves for the up coming week.
Rocking plank
From a forearm plank, slowly rock forward on toes until shoulders move past hands. Then slowly push shoulders backward until heels extend beyond toes.
Plank hip dips
From a forearm plank, slowly rotate both hips as you dip them to the right side until hips are almost touching ground. Raise hips back up, coming briefly into forearm plank, and then rotate hips to the left. Continue alternating.
Plank up-downs
From a straight-arm plank, lower right elbow to the ground, followed by left, coming into a forearm plank. Place right hand on ground directly beneath right shoulder, and straighten right elbow, then left hand under left shoulder and straighten left elbow, coming back into a straight-arm plank. Continue alternating between straight-arm and forearm plank.
