Day 4 completed. Really finding this challenge motivating.1
-
Day 2 done and dusted. Found it hard at moment had a bereavement, and it's been very difficult to motivate myself.0
-
Day 4 done. Seriously, the only 3 min exercise that does not feel like punishment to me and that I actually like is the stair climb.3
-
Day 2 and 3 completed today - found the mountain climbers really hard as I have some kind of nerve damage in my left arm that makes it cramp up completely whenever I stretch it out and put weight on it. As such I usually modify any exercise such as this or the plank, by doing them on my elbows. Perhaps not as effective, but I think better than not doing them at all.
Doing them on your elbows is definitely effective, I get sore wrists and have to modify aswell

Haven't been able to start yet, but hoping by this week I feel a little better to begin.2

@Skipper111 I find keeping the Christmas treat food out of view helps- I have a special cupboard for that so I don't keep seeing it every time I go to the kitchen, and cheese and cream etc is kept in a box at the back of the fridge- "Out of sight, out of mind"
Thank you lovely! I am surrounded by foodies at work so they always try and encourage me to give in! I am waking up tomorrow with my will power back in full swing! :-)

Day 4 done.
Here's hoping that everyone who is having a rough start, use the beginning of a new week to start fresh! You've got this!

Good morning. I'm sure everyone is different. I'm doing one round. This is a part of my daily activities which typically total about two hours of intentional exercise.
Glad you're with us & above all, have fun!

Keep up the great work everyone.0 -
Days 3-5 done of the countdown. Haven't been home much the last few days, so since I woke up before hubby I got it all done before he got up! Hoping tomorrow's eat clean challenge goes well.1

Days 1 - 5 of challenge complete.
To question above re: how many times people are going through each set of exercises, I am just doing one session each day of the first challenge. I did notice that as we get further into the month, the number of times we do a particular exercise really increases, so I am hoping this is enough strength training to make a difference.
I am also doing the plank challenge, the step challenge, the NLS challenge and the lose 5lbs in Dec challenge. However, I am going to Cuba for a week, so a little nervous about keeping it all up while at an all inclusive resort. Plan to track manually and record online when I get home.
Any suggestions for keeping on track while on vacation?1 -
@135terry - I just went through this last month when I was in a couple 30 day challenges. I ended up skipping them all the week I was gone and had other things happen. Long story short, I added up all the quantities of each exercise I need to do to complete the challenge...which I plan to complete by the end of December...and the numbers were mind blowing. Maybe if you tally up how many reps you will have to do during this vacation, it will deter you from skipping or you could start adding extra in when you can to try to knock some out before you go.2

Day 5 done. You don't know how relieved I am that it's a rest day for the bootcamp one today.
