Day 1: 400 Rep Challenge

The first 3 exercises strained my neck a bit, I am more sensitive to it though, would be great to have exercise relax the neck afterwards.

That hollow body hold gets me every time 😅 doesn't matter if I'm fresh into a workout or it's in my last set! But hey- I got 'er done!

Day 2: Calisthenics Core

So hard but worth it. Starfish always is the hardest for me. One round takes about 10 mins.

I didn’t think I’d do all 3 tbh, so I’m happy about it, definitely took a lot more rest between each round and 5-10 second breathers between each exercise

Day 3: Core Pyramid

First was Starfish, now is Hollow Starfish, now I am dead Starfish 😆Took me way longer than 10 mins .

Did this one at home today!! Really challenging

Feeling super good after completed!! But while I’m doing it 😳 it’s been difficult and lots of rest in between. Building strength that’s my goal 😃

Day 4: Oblique Focused

Day 6: 6 min. core

Aleksandra

Awesome!! Getting some resistance 😄💪🏻

Day 7: Add "on" challenge

Definitely tough adding weights on & especially after a weights work out. Great stuff

Adele

Day 8: Weighted Abs

Didn’t do very well on side plank rotation… my foot wasn’t helping … will practise a bit more.. the rest of great! 😊

Liesel

I was laughing through the log roll exercise. Whenever I want to give up, I remind myself I’m training my core so I will be able to do a handstand one day.

Day 10: Core Pyramid

What a beautiful burn 😜 🔥 
Wow that was tough, but just what I wanted for today! 
💪🔥👏

I feel my core strength have been improved greatly. Few more days to go. If you are following this challenge like I do, keep at it, you can finish it!! 💪

Day 11: Planks!

Day 12: 7 min. of Planks!

Single leg V snaps 😳 still not strong enough… apart from that I loved it 🥰

Thai one was kinda deceiving lol I started, thinking this one was only somehow 6 minutes (note the title 😝) but got to the last exercise and noticed the “60 rest” & realized I had yet to do 2 more rounds! 🤦‍♀️ 😜 
…but it was a good one! 👏 🙃

Good hard. Feeling much stronger than when I started the challenge. Great stuff

Day 13: 6 min Core

Great fun challenge. Made it to 2m20 on full high plank. Abs just so tired from so much hard core work everyday haha will keep trying that one to get the whole song done. Thanks for this one LittleT 👏 really enjoyed it 👍👍

My plank record was 1:36 in Feb. I made it until 2:30 ish this time. The rest I had to do knee plank. All 14 days done, it’s a fun challenge!

Day 5: 7 min. plank challenge
