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..🙂

I believe I'm more toned. Need to take a pic and compare to my July one to tell for sure. Planks might be cool. I've tried them before, and am not very good at them.

Pushups are good - I actually do them now. Inclined. Been at it since February or March. Within 6 weeks it had toned my back and shoulders you the point that I lost all the spill-over along the top/back of my bra.

Burpees are a no go. I'll turn 62 in October. No jumping for me lol. I have to protect knees and ankles - the whole reason I started lunges and squats was to build strength around those joints.

I'm flexible on an October challenge - pick what you want. If I need to substitute or modify, it's all good. I mostly like the accountability and encouragement.

Should probably go do Day 26, huh?

Day 28 done! Tomorrow's a rest day. But it's also a party for my son and granddaughter who share back to back birthdays. I'm a little worried, so I may do another set before I go.
