Hi All~

I cannot seem to get the mojo for exercise. I don't lack energy. I don't know what it is. I could blame weather, time, etc. but in the end..no excuses. I was thinking of posting a daily fitness challenge (on this post) for the next 7 days. Please feel free to join me.

Today's challenge: Add 500 extra steps to your day. :smile:

    I am not quite as reluctant to move today. My walk felt great yesterday and I dropped a tiny bit of weight.

    Today's Challenge: Add 15 minutes of weight /kettle bell for upper body to your workout.

    Got it done yesterday. I used 2 lb weights which wasn't very challenging but at least I moved my body.

    Today's Challenge: Push-ups (10 reps)
    Bodyweight squats (20 reps)
    Forward lunges—each leg (5 reps)
    Plank—side plank (each side) and traditional plank (30 seconds each)

    I like the challenges. If a particular challenge you post doesn't fit a person's abilities (like pushups for me), we could post our modified version of that as completed. For me, instead of pushups, I would do a pushup on a high counter.

    Ack! I forgot to post here yesterday. I did the 15 minutes on a treadmill but the incline wasn't so steep. Then, I did a walk yesterday(about a mile).

    Today's Challenge: Do 10 minutes of stretching/yoga today.

    My 31-year old son challenged me yesterday. Not to a specific task, but to not limit myself. Today I mowed half the yard with a push mower (riding mower is broken) - two 90 minute sessions as fast as I could go and not choke down the mower motor. I have about the same amount to mow tomorrow. My son, hubby, and I mowed the first third on Tuesday. If I do this weekly, that's my cardio with some plyometric movement. We have easily 15 hours of mowing if it is with a push mower. Praying we can get the riding mower fixed soon! LOL
