Hi Blog,
Today I decide to take up 30 days Plank Challenge, purpose is to make a habit for myself. This post will update daily. From Day 1 until after 30 days. (I started on 17 May 2016, Tuesday) Sorry... my body is disgusting!
I decided to use an app to help me to keep track of my process.
Today I decide to take up 30 days Plank Challenge, purpose is to make a habit for myself. This post will update daily. From Day 1 until after 30 days. (I started on 17 May 2016, Tuesday) Sorry... my body is disgusting!
I decided to use an app to help me to keep track of my process.
 |
| so I decided to download this app 'Plank' which comes with a timer. I put the app beside me (wallpaper) is to keep me reminded for exercising. |
 |
| It has step on the exercise that we need to do. |
 |
| a simple timing which is quite zen and clean. |
 |
| so I decided to follow. |
 |
| Let me tell you... it is tough. |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Day 0 |
| I am still trying out but I find that it is that great app to use... but I will use that app once I got a habit of doing it. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I decided to find another app 'PlankChallenge' and reset the days again. |
| let's remind myself again. |
 |
| I love this app, they have given us a 30 days challenge. |
 |
| There are illustration of the exercise you suppose to do and the timing for each day are slightly different, they will increase it gradually. |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESTART!!!!!!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
so let's do it!Day 1
 |
| smile for camera |
 |
| quite easy! |
 |
| Great! it will record my process. |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 2 |
| Cheer! |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 3 |
| Captain wont give up. |
 |
| Day three. I realised the bigger challenge is the side plank. Those are tolerating. Hahaha... |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 4 |
| Keep it up! |
 |
| They increase the timer for side plank. Oh my! Hahaha 10 secs is hell XD |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 5 |
| On the fifth day, they increased the plank to 40 sec, what worse is right/left plank... 40 sec... |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 6 |
| Let's do it! |
 |
| FUNNY thing on 6th Day is that they want me to rest! :D No plank for today. :3 |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 7 |
| Seventh Day - back again |
 |
| oh man.... the plank for left and right time increased... I learned that I should put a mat on the floor so that I won't feel that painful doing it. |
 |
| Like this mat on the floor.... Hmmmm... I think my side plank I did it wrong... |
 |
| Oh my... Left and Right Plank are torturing.... |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 9 |
| Today is Hell! They increase to 60 secs for each exercises! It is difficult especially the side... so I modified bu doing just normal plank. |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 10 |
| Weird... where is the 10th day??? |
 |
| OH MAN! They increase the timing on the left and right??? |
 |
| I can't do the left and right hand plank, especially my left. What I did, I simply do push up position for left/right plank, and you know what, my left hand kept on shaking (too weak) |

Conclusion of this challenge
Initially the timing of planking I can handle it but I feel extremely stressful when come to side planking and especially when the timing increased. Personally I feel the app doesn't provide other opinions or visual to keep me going; even thought they have highlighted the exercises whether you have completed... I will put this aside and focus on the morning jogging, hopefully I will get back to plank challenge again. :)
