2nd plank:View attachment 3879887
During the second plank my lower back started to ache, not sure if that's normal.

Were you arching your back? Or were you maybe dipping your hips too low?

I wasn't arching my back I'll try keep my legs straighter, see if that's why.

I was looking at some of the plank variations. Whooo doggieeeee! The one that looked the most scary was the straight arm plank with hands on medicine ball, so you'd have to balance on the ball. I wouldn't even try that without someone to catch me when I fell over.

My goal for the next week is to do 2 minutes planks, two times a day.

A week from today is my yearly physical. That has nothing to do with my goal, but it's a "time endpoint" to focus on.

One of the plank variations is on hands and knees. Well, goodness that looks/sounds easy peasy (comparatively). Ok, so do it for 3 minutes, Sally. Uh. Barely. My arms were shaking. And they started shaking at 1:30.

The “straight-arm” plank is what I’ve been doing: now I see there are so many variations!!

Day two. Counting breaths helped sooooo much. I think I was forgetting to breathe a bit.
