September's Challenge: 5 Minute Plank

As promised here is September's Challenge a little early.
August's challenge was awesome and I really did feel wonderful not to mention the perks of losing some inches and gaining some definition.  My coach (Coach Lois) for the extra 10 day challenge handed me a BeachBody 5 minute Plank Challenge sheet which gave me a wonderful idea for my next challenge.  I couldn't find a good image of the calendar for the challenge so I recreated it below.  If you want more information you can contact Coach Lois @ http://www.loistiedemann.com/
