luvs_choc8

Good Morning,

Everyday the Food Challenge is to stay within your calorie limit and to not eat after 8:00 pm. Cardio challenge is to do 30-60 minutes of increased heart rate activity. Water challenge is to drink 64 ozs :drinker: :drinker: . Everyday I will have a mini strength challenge.

Do 150 crunches.

Here’s how to do them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xyd_fa5zoEU
Seems like a lot? Break them up throughout the day.

Do crunches hurt your neck or back? Try standing crunches! Here’s how to do them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ueDpXC_Wao

Do 100 LUNGES! (50 left leg & 50 right leg)

Try to challenge yourself and grab some weights. No weight? Grab anything a little heavy! Feel free to break these up.
BE SURE TO ALTERNATE LEGS (50 on the left and 50 on the right). Post once to accept and be sure to come back and tell us what you did!


:flowerforyou: Wednesday Mini Strength:

100 OVERHEAD TRICEP EXTENSIONS!

Here’s how to do them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t3BC4PPNGs&feature=youtube_gdata_player

If this is your second (or more) time doing these, try to use a heavier weight!
Don't have weights? Surely there is something heavy around? A book? A couple of cans?

:flowerforyou: Thursday Mini Strength:

300 MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS

While in the push-up position, alternate bringing your knees toward your chest. Here’s how to do them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI8u58hPam4

We’re counting in singles today, so every time a knee comes up to your chest, that counts as one. If this is your second (or more) time doing these, try to beat your previous number by 10!

If you are new to this exercise, or you have bad knees, try low-impact mountain climbers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWidX50lJSI

You can always take a break if you need to.
