Well done ladies, we can only try our best, I noticed with my day off from this mini challenge that I felt the burn on and off all day in different parts of my body,, that has to be a good thing.

Hi Margie,
I'm going to have to take two days of recovery (day 3 and 6) and finish a day late. It's reminding me of muscles I forgot I had! See you all tomorrow.0 -
Got through Day 3.0

The highly structured mini challenge reminds me too much of my ideas of being in the military. I need more creativity in exercise. Plus, some of us have injuries and can't just go down a list and do a bunch of these exercises like this. I have many injuries and have to be more careful of what I do, This mini challenge of exercises sounds like it is more geared toward a young, healthy crowd.
I do what I can, with other various kinds of exercise. I do swimming, aqua aerobics, Pilates, low impact aerobics, yoga, the elliptical machine, many Zumba classes, and more.

I certainly understand people have all sorts of ailments, these mini challenges are not a have to do, so please do not feel that you have to do them, ,,,,,
Age, well I am 58 and don't find my age has anything to do with excercise, it is what you are capable of, sure it is challenging, but I am up for a challenge,,, these mini challenges are to keep our group interesting and to keep members moving, so,,,,, move it move it move it!

I am kind of proud of myself today. It was my granddaughter's birthday and, because I did not know what would be served, I wrote an essay and planned on using the optional day off. However, even with birthday cupcakes and bratwurst on the menu, I don't need the day off. I was on today.0

Hey everyone, sorry for being absent, but Sept is a hectic month for me. I'm starting to work full-time again, have school and choir. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to keep up. I tend to "heal" stress with loads of chocolate.0

Omg, I'm so weak!
I tried doing planks. I don't want to even say how many seconds I did.
Oh well, I'll get better. This is a great challenge, Margie.0 -
