Today I did my last abdominal plank position and this time it was for as long as I can which meant more than 270 seconds.

I have been struggling lately with shaking legs and aching upper arms and am sore after yesterday’s physical training.

I decided that I would do it for 280 seconds.

It started to be torture when it was 3 minutes left

when it was 2 minutes left the legs started to shake a bit and more pain in my upper arms

When it was 1.5 minute left my legs started to shake a lot, focus Gabby, don’t you dare put down your knees on the floor

when it was 30 seconds it was survival

And then 9,8,7,6,,5,4,3,2,1 seconds. I did it!

Afterwards I have to lay down on the floor and get my breath back and I had a hard time getting up with my arms and legs.

The world record is 3 hours 7 minutes and 15 seconds and I am not even going to challenge that

I cannot believe that this challenge is coming to an end.

The last but one abdominal plank position for 270 seconds.

After 1.5 minute I started to feel the pain in my legs (did this after 1h physical training with a lot of leg exercises.

When 2 minutes was left my legs started to shake a bit and my arms were aching

When 1 minute was left I had to focus really badly and more pain in my legs and arms and legs were shaking even more

When 30 seconds left my legs was shaking a lot

Only 20 seconds, keep going, DO NOT put down your knees on the floor

And then that beep that I had longed for

Tomorrow I am going to stand in this position for as long as I can, the world record is 3 hours 7 minutes and 15 seconds and I can say FOR SURE that I will do it that long.  It is going to be much much shorter but longer than 270 seconds though.

Today it was another 240 very LONG seconds and the last in this set. Tomorrow it will be longer.

This time I actually did not look at the time after 30 seconds, it took 1.5 minutes.

When it was 1 minute and 18 seconds left my legs started to shake again, do not give up Gabby, don’t dare put down your knees on the floor.

When it was 40 seconds left I hoped it would be soon over

When 18 seconds left, please hold on

4 seconds left and then finally that marvelous beep

Today it was 240 very LONG seconds.

At 2 minutes left it felt very long to the end.

When it was 1 minute left my legs were starting to shake, maybe it is not such a good idea to do the plank challenge after a 10k run. The legs started to shake more and more. I was wondering if I would be forced to put down my knees on the the floor but tried my best to not make that happen.

18 seconds left, let it be soon over

4 seconds left and finally I heard the beep.

Today it was 210 very LONG seconds

When it was 2 minutes left I was wondering what I was doing.  When 1.5 minutes was left it was torture.

When it was 30 seconds left I had to focus and my legs started to shake but I have not put down my knees on the floor yet but do not know how long I can keep that up.

PAIN TORTURE

When it was 11 seconds left I just wanted it to be over and finally that magic beep.

Today it was 210 very LONG seconds.

Even if I try not to look at the timer to soon I seem to look the first time after 30 seconds which happened today too.

3 minutes left

2.5 minutes left

Just 2 more minutes, focus Gabby.

1.5 minute left

Just 1 more minute, you can do it.

At 40 seconds left my legs were starting to shake really badly but I refuse to put my knees on the floor

at 20 seconds left, AAAHHHHHH. Hold on DON’T give up. Torture! PAIN!

Then finally the beep.

Today I had to move my legs around for them not shaking to soon for too long.

Another very LONG 180 seconds.

What is it with these 30 seconds. Looked at the timer after 30 seconds.

Just 2 more minutes, focus Gabby.

At 1.30 min left my legs were starting to shake a bit

At 1 minute left, come on Gabby you can do it. Keep going

Only 30 seconds left

When only 10 seconds left my legs were shaking a lot. I still refuse to put down my knees on the floor. I wonder when I might have to give up and put down my knees. I get the feeling it is going to happen at some point.

Today it was 180 very LONG seconds.

Looked at the timer after 30 seconds and then I realized soon after that that was 2 whole minutes left. At 1.42 left I had to focus. A 1 minute left I had to tell myself you can do it.

At 42 seconds left AAAHHHHHH.

At 30 seconds left, OH MAN!

At 20 seconds PAIN

At 12 seconds it fel like an eternity and the finally the beep!

Today it was the last session of 150 seconds.

Of course I had to look at the timer when it was 2 minutes left. And then when it was 1.5 minutes Focus. At 1 minute the legs started to shake but I stilll refuse to set the knees on the ground. At 30 seconds left I was asking myself why I am doing this. At 20 seconds left AAAHHHHHH with a bit of a roar. Oh yes only 10 seconds left and then finally I heard the beep.
