It’s the season of giving thanks and doing planks.
That’s not just true for our American bloggers and readers. It’s true north of the border as well. Many of us here at Fit is a Feminist Issue up our gratitude game in November even if Thanksgiving was, for us, weeks in the past.
Read about November gratitude here and here.
This year we’ve also been focusing on planks as a number of the Fit is a Feminist Issue bloggers, Tracy, Cate, and Nicole have been doing a Planksgiving challenge for November.
This one is from Women’s Running but there are lots of them about.
As I watch the group get to the end of the month and manage their longest planks, I have lots of admiration for their motivation.
I was also reminded of an older post about how long planks should be, for maximum fitness benefit.
The answer varies, of course. There are a lot of reasonable views. But everyone agrees, not four hours and twenty minutes!
This year I didn’t start a November gratitude practice, mostly because I’m still enjoying my daily #ThreeGoodThings post. I also opted out of the group plank challenge. I’ve had the flu and now covid and I’m sticking mostly to my knee physio through this tough health season.
But I did reopen the plank challenge app on my phone and start back at Day 1.
Happy Planksgiving everyone!
