    I did 2 sets of 12, with 8# weights.
    However, I don't have an exercise ball and couldn't do the hip one. I guess I need to stop at Target and pick one up!

    Okay today was a real challenge. I did everything tonight...(barely) :laugh:

    Everything except....Ball Hip Abduction and the Weighted Crunch

    Ball H. A. is out tonight because I don't have a ball and I guess I will have to get one also.
    Laying on my back to do the W. C is out because after water aerobics tonight I just can't. My body is so sore. Need to drink more water and stretch more the next time.

    Sorry I promise to do better..


    Good nite everyone!

    I finished day 4 yesterday using 6.6 pounds at the beginner option, but on the way home, I purchased some 5 pound weights. I think I overdid it with the 6.6.
    I did the H.A. using the rolling chair in my home office, because I did not have a ball at the time. I purchased one last night, though.
    Also, I am going to add some stretching at the end. When I was reading through the comments section of the challenge, stretching was highly recommended. I think she has some stretching days on the challenge website, so I will take a look and let you know.
    Hope everyone has a great day!

    Dumbbell Swing Through 8x12/10x12 – this seemed more effective for shoulders so I did a set of regular squats also 10x20
    Side Lunge 8x12/8x9 – I didn’t like these AT ALL. I’m not doing them again. did some wide stance squats also – 8x15/10x40 – use heavier weight
    Ball Hip Adduction - 12/20
    One Legged Toe Raise – 10x15/10x15
    Weighted Crunch – 10x15/10x20

    Still didn't wrap my left knee. I definitely need to on leg days!
