Hi all! My computer is not functional well, at all (it's really old). I have had nearly no access to any web sites. It might even shut me out again before I finish typing, :grumble: Just wanted to let you know I am keeping track of my exercise and adding it on here once we get a new computer!
Keep up the good work!! :happy:
Sorry about your computer problems. I know too well what that is like. Hang in there!0 -
I am going to start with a goal of three set of planks: Front, L&R side for 60 seconds each....
Wow, just, Wow!0 -

Great work everyone!! :drinker:
My computer is working intermittently. I think I've read some people can access the forums via their phone app?? I can't access the forums from my phone or Kindle Fire. I only see my personal news feed and diary unless I am on my computer. Am I missing something?
Wed: 40 push ups
Thurs: 40 push ups
Fri: 40 push ups, 3 planks, 40 crunches

Tacked on 30 crunches to my exercise routine today. -->770 to go
continue to do 30 crunches as part of my floor routine all the way through July 6, which equates to 180 crunches done-->620 to go. I might take Sunday off.
I did them anyway--so ttl as of 7July = 210 crunches done--> 590 to go.
Heat wave and no a/c until scheduled repair, so I skipped a couple of days. I will be upping my daily target to make the monthly.
This pass week I did 140 as of 13July = 140 crunches--> 450 to go.0 -

I'm new to the group and had the challenge posed to me but I train with the TRX suspension system. Every workout I do pushups (suspended in the air), and plank/crunch combos. How well do these exercises translate to the challenge? Does anyone else use the TRX system or is familiar with it?
Thanks for the invite to the group. I look forward to the interaction.0 -
Welcome to the group! Your TRX workouts definitely apply to this challenge. :drinker:0

I'm bailing on the challenege, I know it's bad, but this month I haven't been able to execute my plan as well as I like. I'm losing weight from nervous energy instead while going through a personal loss. Remainder of this month I'll be happy to get long walks and some body weight sessions into the grove and my overdue library books returned while I keep things in perspective and don't over worry about an unknowable future. :ohwell:0

Oh, Rocky, I am so sorry for your loss. I will be keeping you in my thoughts.0

Got pushed hard at my TRX class today. For starters, I wore a 4 lb weight vest for most of it because I didn't have enough resistance from my body weight. I lost weight over the past month and my body was used to pushing more weight. This qualifies as a minor NSV!
Exercises on the TRX that are related to the challenge were 20 pushups, 30 tricep pushups, 40 core plank/crunch combos and 20 hamstring crunches while laying on our backs. This is about 15 minutes of a 60 minutes session.0 -
