Kathy gave this to us. Love it. She is using kettle bells also. But you can use dumbbells also. Or just do the squats

Kathy you are killing it. Better to do extra than to miss them. I just did some weights tonight and my exercises for back and hips

So today we cleaned out some of the flower beds. Which involved me to constantly be squatting for over an hour today. So counting it for my squats today. Day 13 done! Also did some weights and my back/ hip exercises.

Kathy I am sorry your back is hurting. I know a little bit about back pain.
Shelley0 -
Did my back and hip routine. Then bench 3 sets of presses X 10 with 48 pounds. Curls, military presses and squats with kettle bell. Just did them without counting.

I'm not doing leg strengthening because my knees are so bad. It's a Catch 22, exercise damages the joint but no exercise weakens the legs. But looking at this challenge reminded me of TRX, so I'll try that.
Paula1 -
3X10 regular squats and 3X10 TRX squats today.
Chris0 -
Day 14
3 x 25 squats, 10 mins YouTube stretching video, 10 mins abs workout, 10,000+ steps, 45 mins recumbent bike.
Kathy0 -
Perfect Paula. We just have to Do Something!
Hi Chris. You have that TRX going on also.
Kathy you are rocking it!
