Just a quick note on the side planks, the times (ie- 30sec, 45, 60 sec) is PER SIDE, not total time. The exercise is meant to be done first on one side for 30 or more seconds, then the other for 30 or more seconds before resting. :)
Speaking as one of the ladies of the group, as well as one who is getting back in shape, the side planks can be done from the knees instead of the feet if the original pose is too challenging at first. :)
