December is a PLANK Challenge...

I'm still around... falling apart...

My low back & knee are still just flared up & aching.  I don't know if its the cold air settling in these old bones, but its really put a hampering on me.

But I am determined to find other ways to try & keep this body strong - or as strong as possible.

I'm already signed up to do the Holiday challenge of 1 mile a day - run, walk, crawl - however to do it - for the rest of the year starting on Thanksgiving (which means lots of posts through the end of the year)

But I'm going to try something new I just saw on Facebook.

Facebook - the training tool of 2013 & the future :)

What I love about this challenge more then anything?

It ends on December 30 - MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Which I plan on making new goals on that day - the day I turn 42... wow... where does time go.

This is the perfect lead into turning another year older
As well as a perfect way to get these core muscles stronger during the holidays when the core could easily be bigger with lots of Christmas feasts & sweets...

Start at 20 seconds - go for 5 minutes by the end?  This should be interesting!
