Instead of a Monday evening Group Run, we decided to have a Monday evening plank challenge... because that's fun yeah?

I tackled my technology ignorance and set it all up on Zoom (gasp).

I'm so impressed how GoodGym will always remain strong through challenging times, 17 people still came together to do this challenge, we're such a unit.

After a few people were distracting the start of the challenge, I set the timer and the planks began. One by one, the GoodGymers were dropping like flies and it was left to Simon and Robert to battle it out like troopers... with Robert just pipping Simon in a time of 4 minutes and 18 seconds.

... but it was not quite over just as Robert was celebrating his champion status, our friends and GoodGymers Tom and Sarah (reigning plank champion) were due to join us from New Zealand, where they have emigrated to, but missed the live Zoom. However, they didn't want to miss out and recorded themselves doing the plank challenge. Tom didn't last too long and was looking on as Sarah crept passed Robert's time for a record 4 minutes and 20 seconds. I'm not sure if it's easier to plank in the southern hemisphere?!

Well done everyone and keep tuned in to await next week's fitness challenge.
