Rest day today but didn't post yesterday. I did my 70 for yesterday. I am feeling much better! I think it was some kind of virus last week. At least its gone now. Have fun everyone!0

That's what I was hoping for! The idea was just to move whatever works for you and post it to be accountable. Looks like it is working! :bigsmile:

Day 12: 190 Done - did a Jari Love strength DVD and lost count of just how many squats I did but know I definitely got in my 190...all with weights
so new squat exercise from today's DVD: stand on right side of step or riser. Right leg steps off to right side and squat down (left leg stays on riser, right leg on ground). Stand back up onto step. Variations: add arms with rows or bent elbow lateral raises. When stepping back up lift right knee (so right foot doesn't step back down on riser only when squating on ground. Repeat on left. Very tough!!!!

Also did 12 sit ups, 12 leg lifts and 6 pushups. A min. and half plank X 3. At almost 10,000 steps and will be up another couple hours.0 -

Alright you all! I started this but have slacked off quite a bit. I think being sick last week, and the moving-not moving stress has taken its toll. I think I will start the challenge over from the beginning. I have to do the easy version because of my knees and back, but I know I do need to move. BTW, I am not moving for a year now. PHEW!! Now I can slow down and do it all right!

New squat exercise: kettle ball swing - hold kettle ball with both hands (or a single dumb bell by each end so parallel to ground), squat down swinging the weight between your legs then thrust up using your legs to propel the weight to chest height pressing hips forward and squeezing the glutes. Swing up and down with just the slightest pause at the top and bottom.
