5 min plank challenge

Yes I know I've neglected you. I apologise. I came down with tonsillitis, and work got a little bit crazy and I let time slip away completely. But I'm back in control now! And to prove it, I've set myself a little challenge.

I feel like I've fallen off the wagon a little bit with my diet, and my training hasn't been as brilliant as usual. So in order to give myself a bit of a kick up the backside, I started thinking about some goals to set myself. Then I remembered seeing the twins from Pure 2 Raw, one of my favourite health and fitness blogs posting a video showing how they hold a 5 minute plank. See it here:

Fab, right?!

I love holding plank position, but I'll be honest, I struggle. I find just a 30 second hold quite tough. But I love the shake I get in my abs and knowing they're working hard. I know that with some work, and plenty of determination, I can work up to a 5 min hold, easy!

So, my goal is that I'll be able to hold the plank, in perfect form, for a full 5 minutes by the end of the month. Why not join me? Or set yourself a new goal. Nothing like lighting up your fitness regime with new goals every now and then to get you fired up.

What goals have you set yourself, fitness or otherwise? Do you have any tips that help you stay focused on your goals?
