This week we are going to keep going with all three planks we have learned and really challenge ourselves with added time. This is the last week of the Mini Challenge, so give it all you've got!
Action Step:
Make a Plan.
Just like in prior weeks, look at your schedule over this next week. Find time where you can dedicate a few minutes each day to the Plank Mini Challenge. Mark it on your calendar and/or put a reminder on your phone to take the time.
Also print out the Plank Mini Challenge paper tracker for Week 6 to keep up with the plan and your progress each day. And as a reminder, you will need to log any points earned online at hdhealthchallenge.com. Only points logged online will be counted and you will only be able to log points for the current and prior week.
Action Step:
Add More Time to the 3 Planks and Repeat.
You will use your Final Week 5 Baseline Times that you had for each plank.
