    Here we go! I love the accountability of these challenges, @superfood75 - makes for consistency!

    Squats, lunges, push-ups (elevated), arm circles, side bends, & tricep lifts. Since I already do push-ups, I'm going to switch them up to scapula push-ups to work the shoulders. I worked up to 50 reps in September, and it's still challenging. If the intensity levels off, I'll up them as I go. Planks scare me to death. I have very little upper body strength. I've picked a slow transition that will move me from 10 to 50 seconds by the end of the month. I'll speed it up or slow it down depending upon how it goes. At 62, the goal is strength building and injury prevention.

    Slayed Day 3! Spent over an hour moving furniture today. Almost said, "Vigorous cleaning - that's exercise!" But I went ahead and did my pushups, squats, & arm circles - and hit my 15 second plank! 💪

    Day 9 done! I am super proud tonight. I normally work from home. I had to commute into the office for 2 days worth of meetings. That's 60 miles one way in traffic. Yesterday was a rest day, but I came home and walked enough to hit my step goal. I got home tonight exhausted and fell asleep. I woke up at 1130. It would have been so easy to just chalk today up to missed. But I got up thinking just hit the challenge - get that plank and the pushups. So I did. And since I was working, I finished my whole routine.
