    So. Coming off some joint pain. Did 2 rest days. Felt much better last night, but opted for a 2-mile walking trail. Will start back at 40 and shoot for 50. Not sure I can, but I can try.

    Strength Training: (with accelerated reps)
    • 9/1-4 - 20, 25, 30, Rest ✔

    Day 15 done. I know I skipped a couple but I wanted to get back on track and it just wasn't feasible to play catch up.

    Got my side bends in last night. Up to 45 reps today. I think I'm going to level off at 50 for the rest of September. Because I'm doing 6 exercises, and marching in place between each to create a circuit routine with strength & cardio, 50 will pushes me into a 30 minute routine. I think that's a good goal for September - and sustainable. October will be focused on maintaining the habit. I'll look at increasing when it becomes less challenging.

    How are you doing, @superfood75 ?? I'm on a rest day today. I know what you mean about too many challenges. I've limited myself to 2 at a time. The other one is the 5lb loss each month. Thanks for starting this one this month - I've enjoyed it! It has helped me to be accountable and get back on track. I'm up to 50 reps on 6 exercises. It's doable and plenty challenging. I will probably hold at 50 until I'm ready to amp it up again. I march in place between sets to get a circuit benefit and add FitBit steps. At 50 reps, it's almost 30 minutes. If I go more than that, I'm apt to skip days. When it's time to increase the challenge, I will likely add weights vs reps to stay in that 30 minute window. Are we going to keep it going in October?

    Hello Lisa! Im doing good..How are you? Im glad your still doing the challenge. :) I picked two hard challenges. I did get compliments from coworkers. I can see that Im more toned. Would you be interested in a push up and easier squat challenge? Btw, do you do planks or burpees? I def need to do planks and push ups.Let me what challenges you would like..🙂
