Victorious Victoria Day Challenge - April 29th
When I grow up, I want to be viviakay. :tongue: You could tell your husband that your both off the charts! since I'm sure you could do more than 40 bent knee push-ups if you can do 17 regular. I plan on testing myself soon. Also testing myself on cardio, though I expect, it will be my worst rating. There are flexibility…

Victorious Victoria Day Fitness Challenge April 26th

Yesterday I did the elliptical as promised. I was so tired by the afternoon, I didn't do much else. Today is the 3 hour yoga stint, then probably a…
