I love the push ups and the jumping jack goals. I don't normally do them so it's a challenge and I think I can do it! Thank you!

aeleton

Yea i do to. I do them in p90X, but i should do them more..... I have recently started doing more jumping jacks, as i have come to find out there are supppper duper good for you...... who would have ever known and easy exercise like jumping jacks would be so effective.... Best of luck!!! If you can do more then what the challenge requires.... by all means do it!!!! max reps Every time!!!!

I am interested in the whole body workout that takes 30 minutes. Thanks :happy:

Me too please.

I have dug out some old video's - yes video's and will give them a go too. Your challenges sound quite difficult for a couch potato like me, but I'll give them a go and do as many as I can as often as I can - it can only do me some good right?? :bigsmile:

Good Luck everyone !

Do 8 Sets of 25 Sit-ups 3 out of 7 days this week.
8 sets of 15 Push ups 4 out of 7 days this week

Most of them sound great. The only thing I saw was these two - VERY tough if you haven't done these much. I'd suggest maybe 1) reduce the number of sets (4 each?) and/or 2) change '25/15' to something like 75%(?) of 'exhaustion' amount (max amount you can do in one set). For example, if most push-ups I can do without stopping is 8, then challenge would be to do 4/8 sets of 6 (75% of max) push-ups each. Just a suggestion Thanks for all of your work on these challenges!!!

I look at the challenge as just that a challenge. We are not required to do them at all. Since we are all at different levels and we know what we can and can not do I say leave the challenges as they are and we can adjust them to fit our personal fitness levels. For example I only did 33 minutes of the 45 min challenge for this week on one of my days. I do however think that is an awesome way for you to adjust that challenge to fit your needs! Keep up the good work! Just my two cents worth!

I think that's a good way to look at it. Personally, I can't do push-ups at all. Not because they're too hard or anything (though they are quite difficult!), but because I can't do anything that bends my wrists at that angle, and I'm not strong enough to do them on my toes and I can't get down on my knees either because I have knee problems. I would have to substitute something else for push-ups, or just plain fail that week!!

Sarah, pushups off the wall are actually pretty effective for beginners. Since you cannot bend your wrists you can do them from a closed fist (knuckles), which will keep your wrists straight. :flowerforyou:

I never thought of that, I might have to try it! Thanks!! Usually if I'm doing a dvd and there are push ups I just sit that part out, I guess doing them against a wall like that would be a better choice!

frenchfri87

hey allison, wasnt sure if we are suppost to message you our "challenge 1" progress or just log it on the forum..

Anyway I did a typical hour of cardio at the gym today(elliptical, stairs, bike), then walked my dog for the additional 45minutes of cardio!
Challenge 1 is 1/3 of the way complete for me! yay!

how's everyone else doing? :flowerforyou:

AmandaR910

Did 45 minutes of cardio at the gym today. It's usually my off day, but I went anyways. 401 calories.

SarahRuth♥

This actually would have been a rest day for me, but I completed a 40 minute aerobics/step dvd, and followed that up with playing Kinect sports with my kids for about 20 minutes or so. So I would say that week 1 day 1 is complete for me too!

I was wondering also if we were supposed to post progress here or message it at the end of the week.

aeleton

Yes these challenges are just that... a challenge..... its ok if you dont complete it, but its worth giving it a shot you know. This is just a push over from your other workouts and for some this could be the only work out they do. i am excited for all of you that chose to do this challenge on your off day and bite the bullet and go ahead and do it. That is awesome. But if for some reason, you cannot do the challenge bc of an injury or what not, please let me know, and i will issue you a different challenge in its place.

You can post your challenge accomplishments here that is fine. I read this board from the last message I SEND so that i make sure i miss noones post. also, when i get all the weigh ins and challenge accomplishments, if for some reason i am missing some one, i will post on here, as well as a private message to get the info.

Day 1: Started Couch to 5k
increased my daily work out time from 30 mins to 90 mins!

My workout plan is to get in at least 30 mins 5 days a week, so at first I was intimidated by more than doubling my workout for 3 out of those 5 days, but then I realized that it wouldn't be a challenge if my only plan was to keep up with my original workout goals! I decided to stop thinking negatively and realize that I CAN do it! I'm really looking forward to the rest of this challenge!
