    They are all well now. One child was sick for two days. As soon as she was well, her brother got sick for about three days. :sick:

    The beauty of the TRX is it does a lot of toning without bulking. This is one of the reasons women love it. I'm one of the few guys in the workout group (isn't it a shame that I'm surrounded by fabulous fit women in their 40' and 50's, just like this challenge :wink: ) Thus, my instructor focuses a lot on legs, cardio, & core and not as much as on the upper body as other instructors.
    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.

    I have heard of the TRX system. It sounds intense! :noway:

    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.

    A/C fixed on Tuesday--yeah.
    This pass week after upping my daily target from last week's 40 to 45 crunches, as of July 19 = 180 crunches--> 370 to go

    Doing some catch-up over the weekend, so as of July 21 = 90 more crunches--> 280 to go

    With 2 days off and yesterday upping my crunches from 45 to 60 2 days ago, as of July 26 = 210 cruches! -->70 crunches to go til July 31st and I can do that.

    as of July 29 = 120 additional crunches--> 50+ over goal. Still, I was aiming for 900. I have a breakfast meeting 30July so I will not be doing my usual routine. 31July I aim to add another 60 crunches.

    I had a crazy busy weekend, and unexpectedly had to babysit 2 extra kids all day yesterday. I made up for it today, and I finished the challenge with 40 Push Ups and 60 crunches. Yay! :happy:
