Wow. I just noticed that there are only three days (if you include today) left of the multiple planks. Three planks a day every day for 30 days. I missed three days. Well, I have three days left to make sure I get all three in.
This morning I took a yoga class at the studio where I teach Nia twice a week. This week is Bay Area Dance Week and so the class I took was free. It was nice to get my mat out and do some poses. I don’t use my mat at home, I just do it on the carpet.
There are a lot of free classes this week so you might want to check it out. You can see a schedule of free classes in my post, Free Nia, Zumba, Belly Dance, Yoga, and More.
So I am going to go do my three planks. Have you done yours yet?

Well, I have to say that this past week a couple of days I remembered about the planks at about 3 minutes past midnight. I decided to count those days as I promptly got down on the floor and did my planks. But I also have to say that Friday and Saturday I remembered too far past midnight! Friday it was about 12:30 and Saturday at 12:10 I remembered, but I decided to let it go. So that is three days this month I didn’t do them at all and a few days that I did them after midnight. My mind has been a little preoccupied lately, but that really is not excuse as we all have things that are on our minds.
What I do is I think about them and say, “Oh, I’ll do it later.” Then next thing I know it is after midnight.” So while I was typing this I had to stop to do them so I would be sure to have them done. I got all three in!
As I said in my last check in, it really helps me to have that every day check in. Checking in once a week is not a good enough reminder. Here’s to a more “on track” week!
How are you doing?

For me, checking in every day helps me remember to do it. I have forgotten to do it one day. One day I did only one plank, I forgot to finish with the other two. Another day I pushed the day, as in I remember at five minutes after midnight! It really helps to have that extra thing (checking in) to do. I don’t know why I can’t remember to do a plank three times, but I can remember to do something once when I have to check in. Must be that accountability thing. It helps. 🙂
I started this challenge as a way to help us keep planking and I was thinking my friend who always participates in my challenges would have a better time of it if she didn’t have to check in every day. I was thinking that the three minutes it would take to plank — either all at once or throughout the day — would be easy. She was on vacation and I was thinking she would have a lot of time to get some planks in. Not so. Vacations are so busy. It seems as if LESS gets done because there is no schedule. So she might be joining us after she gets settled. I will continue to be challenged to do it three times a day.
So far today, I have done two. Now I have to remember to do the other two!
Well, it is called a challenge for a reason, right?

Ha. Ok, so I was thinking that I had a check in. I think, “I will do one and post on my plank check in that I have one down and two more planks to go.” I was looking to encourage and get encouragement. Then I come to my blog and remember that I am doing a weekly check in. So, ok, I won’t do this everyday. I promise, but heck, since I got one down and two to go, I am gonna tell you about it. Especially since it was such a good one. If felt good!
It is really late, though so I need to go to bed. But I want to cheer you on. You can do it. Just do it.
Get on the floor and do three planks a day with me for the month of April! Yes?

Ha, ha, ha. Ok, not really, but reaching for titles here. We are not walking our plank. We are just staying in one. So this is our second to last day in the Plank A Day For A Month Challenge. I really think it would be cool to continue. And as I mentioned in a previous post I have an idea . . . . . . . .
Have you increased your duration?

You want to know something? I have not seen anything Gangnam Style except what Saturday Night Live did. They did a skit based on it almost the second it happened and the guy that started the whole thing was on it. Ok, and I did watch a few seconds of a Gangnam Style wedding video, but I was not entertained enough to continue.
According to Wiki: “On December 21, 2012, “Gangnam Style” became the first YouTube video to reach a billion views.” Wow! I can say, I am not one of those billion views. But I do believe I have heard of “Gangnam Style” – just about everything so why not planking. Ha, ok, not really. Again . . . just really trying to eek out a couple more titles to these daily posts. It is not easy! As I am sure you can tell from the titles themselves!
With only a few days left of our Plank A Day For A Month Challenge. It is kinda shocking to realize that we have almost gone an entire month. Wow.
How are you doing?

Here we are with four more days left of our Plank A Day For A Month Challenge.
I’ve decided I like doing my plank on Thursdays before my evening Nia class, otherwise I tend to almost forget!
Are you going to make it the last four days?

Tuesday. How is your planking going?
Maybe you’ll come back to see what I have done to the Chai Tea Latte recipe?
