    I'm thinking of starting a new challenge when this one is done and wanted to get your thoughts.

    I get the sense from the 50+ thread and my own personal bias, that strength training is something we do because we know we have to but most don't like it. So I was thinking of trying to make it more fun and supporting each other.

    So the challenge I was thinking of would be to strength train 2-3/week. You would have to do lower body, upper body and abs using weights or your own body weight (e.g. push ups).

    There could be 2 goals: 1. you decide what your improvement goal is (e.g. more reps, heavier weights, harder version (like going from forearm planks to straight arm planks or holding for a minute, etc.). and 2. you post an interesting strength exercise you think the rest of us might want to try...the elevator squats are an example from the last squat challenge.

    I've never created a challenge before so would love your feedback - does it sound like something you might want to do? how would you make it better.

    Thanks guys and have a great evening. Jodios

    Hi, everyone............the concussion seems completely better today; no h/a at all for the first entire day. Leaving Friday for weekend visit with my daughter at college........will do a few squats and exercises during the weekend away and will start at the beginning of easy squats and some of the ladder when I return next week.

    kevrit.....hang in there; so glad you are going to stick with us!!!
    jodios......sounds like you really enjoyed your visit with your son
    Barbie......when I use weights for squats I hold them all different ways: straight up, out front , against my body, sometimes out to the sides

    Welcome recent joiners!!!! Stick with us; work at your own pace.

    Jodios..........Sounds fun! I'm already (well, usually!!!) doing strength training with the "elephant challenge" 3 days/wk at the gym on weight machines---could work that in (?) and/or add more free weights and body stuff. I'm pretty sure I'll be "off the grid" until Tues. of next week but I am interested. Thanks, great idea!!!

    :flowerforyou: Jodios, I would happily join a strength training challenge. I have let my strength training lapse to allow more time for my yard project, but a challenge would allow me to create at least a small program and check in with all of you about it every day.......I think after this round of squats, I want to do something different....also a strength training challenge would be more welcoming to the 50+ women with knee issues who don't do squats.

    :flowerforyou: yanniejannie, I use fairly heavy weights so I hold them either, down, on my knees, or on my shoulders, but I could use lighter weights and hold them out in front or to the side......thanks for the ideas.

    :heart: Barbie

    :bigsmile: bigcrystal, this challenge started with women ages 50+ so we didn't want it to be a :"killer" routine......glad it's working for you

    Did my 60 today. Feeling a little better but still down and out. Between working, packing, school work, and normal drama in my life, I am finding it really hard to focus on the challenge and log. Pray for me ladies!

    DD joined me so it went faster (and why I lost track of how many). I've been so busy I have to do them all at once - its killer!

    It's raining and the temperature is finally falling - thank goodness

    kervit - hang in there...you'll get back into it

    Barbie - I'm glad you are looking forward to the strength challenge - I'm excited to start it. Any advise for me since I've never started a thread?

    Have a great evening, Jodios

    :flowerforyou: Jodios, when I start a new thread, I compose my post in a word document so i can edit and re-write without worrying about losing it and can save it and think about it for awhile.

    :flowerforyou: keep it simple without too many rules so it is welcoming to a lot of people.:bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    I'd love to take a look at the strength challenge! Not sure what I'll be able to do though because I am in the middle of finding a place to move to and a new job.. But with packing, I probably be doing a lot of lifting so can count that as strength training! LOL,

    Well, I'm still not feeling well. Think I have some kind of bug or flu. Only did 20 of my 65 squats today. Just not feeling well. I sure hope this goes away soon!

    Day Nine--210 squats--50 with hand weights---plank 1:50


    :flowerforyou: Kevrit, The way I see the strength training challenge is to create a personal plan to do two or three days a week and then challenge yourself to do what you've planned and then add reps or sets or weights over time

    :bigsmile: I am working on a plan for myself that I will do (if I make it too hard I'm likely to do none of it but if I make it a little easier, then I'll do it )....squats and my daily plank will be part of the plan and maybe pushups and calf raises....I want to do some things with my ankle weights but that makes the plan more complicated.......more will be revealed. :laugh: :laugh:

    kevrit - hope you are feeling better soon. Barbie was right about the strength challenge. I'm trying to make it flexible so anyone can join, whether just starting or already doing strength training. the idea is to: encourage each other to be consistent about strength training, have an improvement goal and share new and fun moves so we can learn from each other and keep it interesting. boxes are heavy so count as weights :laugh:

    Barbie - glad you already making a plan for the strength challenge

    I'm going to start drafting out a description of the challenge in the coming week. Would you guys mind letting me know what you think when I get it done?

    Have a great evening, Jodios

    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 11: 180 done - same as Day 9 minus the elevator squats
    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!!!!

    Have a great day, Jodios

    OK.......new start for me; didn't feel I needed to start at the very beginning but know the harder one would be too tough, so I started at 85 today, about 20 elevator========jodios, those new ones you described sound awfully hard!!
    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.
