Remember:
- NO JUDGING

- DO ONE OR ALL

- TO JOIN TOUCH/HIGHLIGHT THE LITTLE STAR AT THE TOP RIGHT OF THE PAGE

- MOST OF US TIME OUR WORKOUT & LOG IT AS "CALISTHENICS" OR "CIRCUIT TRAINING"

- CHECK-IN DAILY

- HAVE FUN AS YOU GET HEALTHIER



Don't forget to weigh, measure & take lots of "before" pictures; share your stats if you like.

Finally fit-friends, remember, it's about PROGRESS, not perfection. Now, GO GET YOUR GOALS!

    Balance, Inner thigh, and balance challenges for me. I might throw some wall sits in there as well. Thanks for the invite, and I'm hoping my tush gets more toned.

    I'm on for the balance challenge. Not sure I'll manage the volume, but I can sure as hell try :wink:

    Little side note: my stomach issues were due to a bacteria. The antibiotics have worked miracles.

    Edit: also going to try to incorporate some of those stretches into my day. I forgot how static student days can be...

    Think I'll give all of them a go Day 1 and see which I'd like to stick with for the month.

    Never done a pistol squat before...from the looks of it, I may end up on my butt the first few tries. Hahaha.

    You probably will end up on your bum. The question is...will you be able to get back up? :p Ha ha. Let's see how good our form (and our bum) gets over the course of the month!

    I'm in, but will have to start late :neutral: I'm on antibiotics for a sinus and inner ear infection and on bed rest while it all goes away. September really did me in I guess. Things are looking up and I'm already feeling more like myself so should be able to join in by the end of the week (hopefully!) Gosh I miss exercise!!!

    Day 1: pistol squats? just one? I did some variations. The lowest I could get (and still get back up) was standing from a low bench. I see there is a BIG learning curve here. That's step #2 of 5 in the process. I did the balance, the wall sit and inner thigh (2 sets, on each side also), and stretches. Yes, everything. It still took almost 45 minutes, and today was a "rest" day. Wow, that's a lot of leg work! I threw in some pushups to make my arms "happy". They like to feel included. Dinnertime!

    The pistol squat is from standing, down to squat, then bum on floor, right? :lol:
  • SheilaCali
    SheilaCali Posts: 737 Member
    That's pretty much how I did it. I couldn't get back up off the floor- this is done on one leg, you know. I have a hard enough time getting back up using 2 legs! There are videos out there with levels of learning these. If you can do them without practice, then you are a superhero in my book. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It3yvU0fomI

    Day 2: balance (no pistol squats of course), inner thigh one set, wall sit, stretches later with my cardio. That "anywhere" workout looks too intense for me (at least this month). Side planks are like pistol squats for me- no bueno. Don't even get me started on burpees....literally. My goal this month is to stay injury free. September wasn't so good.

    Remember, I'm the chica with two bulging discs. Everything is modified - my burpees look more like sun salutations. Don't give up on us baby . . . at least check-in & let us know what you are doing!
