Day 3

Front L2 45 sec
Right L1 35 sec
Left L1 35 sec

I know we are supposed to increase 10 seconds each day but adding 5 was all my body could take. Doesn't seem like this should be so hard!

Its all those years of mornings bringing my dh coffee. I will explain.... two hands, two cups of coffee, must close the bedroom door somehow - and usually, this is done by extending one leg back. Only thing I can think.

Some days I can increase others not so much. My personal goal is to hold each pose in a hard level for 2 minutes.


I may have to modify the side planks I'm doing my shoulder joints are hurting. (bursitis) I may look for an obliques pose that isn't so hard on the shoulders.

One legged balancing is not my strong suit! lol

Day Three

PL2 - 55 sec <----- Look Ma, I am off my knees!
SPL - 50 sec
SPR - 50 sec
RP - 50 sec

These are actually yesterday's times. I thought I'd posted but hadn't. Kass - I like your goal of two minutes for difficult poses. I'm struggling to get to one minute. I did the front plank off my knees yesterday. My personal goal is not going back to level one. I'm trying the exercises in the morning and in the evening and recording only my best times. DH installed an old DVD player for the old TV in the basement (No Blue Ray for You!). We've got an elliptical machine that I used when we lived in Mississippi. I plan to walk on it for 30 minutes every evening. Does anybody know if evening exercise is more beneficial than morning exercise? I used it last night and slept more soundly... but maybe that was because of the lava-hot shower I took afterwards.
