I'm in! I was a little late to the party but I did BodyPump on Monday and Tuesday, and BodyCombat on Sunday and Tuesday so I've definitely covered the lunges and squats on those days

Of course it counts. The goal in these types of challenges is consistent acceleration of reps. If you miss a day, just count it as a rest day and pick up where you left off. Don't burn yourself out trying to catch up, just get back in the game!3 -
Day 6 done last night and 25 push ups also, will try 30 today.4

Day 10 done1

Missed last night, but thethere was some joint pain. I'm being mindful to listen to my body. Sore is good. Hurt, not so much. The whole purpose of this challenge, for me, is to build stamina and strength to be less susceptible to injury.
