    Sorry but what are chair dips?

    I'm fairly sure I understood what these are. The way I tried them was to get a chair (but don't sit in it), put my hands on either side, my feet a few feet in front of me, and lower myself to the floor and then raise back up. That was a little confusing, I guess... Do you get what I mean, though?

    It is basically like doing a backwards pushup on the chair but I understood what you said!!! IF you need to google it or youtube it im sure there is a video out there to show you.

    water challenge for today complete.
    This weeks challenge is going to be a challenge for me doing a straight 3 mi at once and the toe raises.
    I'm going to try and run the 3 mi if my DR. and Physical Therapist say it's ok to do so.
    I'm looking forward to the challenge.
    Thanks Allison for keeping this together for us.

    WTG you guys, way to start Challenge 3. And many thanks to you who are asking questions, and other challengers answering them. You guys are awesome. I didnt get a workout in today, however i did walk 5 miles from the car to the Alamodome for the MONSTER TRUCKS, which was AWESOME, and then walked back. Bad thing was, it was pouring down all the way there and pouring down all the way back. My 3 year old did not miss a WATER PUDDLE.... it was soo funny, but we were drenched completely up to our knees with water, it was horrible, but we had a ball... so i really walked about 10 miles... go me....

    :smile: No 7

    :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I thought the toe raisers were 100 every day, thanks for clarifying for me. Managed to do about 50 yesterday - 10 at a time, so I'm halfway there already.

    Walked at least 1 mile too.

    Forgot to drink my water though and didn't do any chair dips.

    Onwards and upwards.

    PS yey go you Alison :smile:

    (I can easily say, working midnights makes getting these done before bed way easier! I can also workout additionally after I wake up! :smile:)

    1. Drinking water: 2/7
    2. Mile: 2/7
    3. Chair dips: 1/7 (really felt this one with a sore shoulder)
    4. Toe raises: 1/7 (100 a day easily)

    Keep up the good work guys! :bigsmile:

    I'm not what I did today right now (I'll do that later), but I just wanted to say that I did the 100 toe raises yesterday altogether. I was so PROUD of myself! I got to 40 and I could feel my calves burning, but I kept going and didn't stop. But I have to say that this morning they are quite sore. Have a good day everyone!

    Yes Toe Raises are hard, but very good for the calves, plus it really helps stretch out the calves before running so you dont pull nothing.....
