Ding ding ding!
Right, all those who expressed interest in the structured challenge (note: this is NOT the 'set your own challenges' one, this is the 'minutes of activity with bonus rounds' one. Although if you want to aim for something else in addition to hitting these goals here then go for it, bud) let's get this show on the road!
Bonus rounds are not compulsory, but obviously getting them done is better than... not... doing that.
I'll start off a little slower than I did with the Christmas group since there's more of us and I don't know where we're all at, although if it's *too* easy for everyone I'll bump it back up again.
SO HERE'S THE DEAL.
From Thur Jan 1 through Wed Jan 7 inclusive
That's it. Report back here with what you've done and how you're getting on.
Ok I'll start
01/01: 15 minute walk. Squats (w/2x10lb dumbbells) and jumping jacks (w/2x5lb dumbbells).
Total: 15
To goal: 105
OK GO GO GO HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY GO FORTH AND KICK BUTT
*Again, if everyone finds hitting this target easy because we're all totally awesome at this then I'll bump it up next time.
Edit: thanks to Zx14chick for the squats/jumping jacks/etc idea

- 120 minutes of exercise. Whenever, wherever, however you like*
- Bonus round: do 5 jumping jacks & 5 squats each day. Bodyweight squats are a-ok. Add weight if you can.

Australia, eh? Well it only JUST went into the 2nd (it's like 1am there right?) so maybe get those squats&jacks in before you head to bed. Go on. It'll only take you a couple of minutes
I'm in GMT. In future I'll post the challenges the night before (well, to the rest of us) which should be daytime in the right day for you!0 -

I can't do jumping jacks due to injury, and only just getting back into squats, so will sit that bonus one out for now.0 -
Well this is all working days (Friday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday) 15 min walk to station and 15 min walk back home so 120 in total. But I do not really feel like I am working out though. Maybe I ought to try the squat thingy's
