Thursday = Calf Day!

If this is your first week the challenge is 150. Week 2 Fitpeeps the challenge is 175!

You can do them free standing on the floor (level 1) heels hanging off a step of any kind (level 2) or either of those with weights in your hands (level 3). Some people might get fancy and do one leg at a time.

Sets of 10 or 20 work well.

VERY IMPORTANT to stretch out both before and after, You will be so sorry if you don't = cramps/stiffness.

You should be able to fit these in anywhere/anytime! Just have them done by midnight!

If the amount is too much/little, just do as many as you can and report back what you did.

    In as usual! I love these mini challenges. :) I'm starting to combine them to challenge myself even more so yesterday I did the crunches (150 - oww!!) and also walked up 300 stairs and did 50 squats to add in smaller amounts of Monday and Tuesday challenges :)

    We're all doing so well guys :)

    ok, After monday, I have been super sore. BUT... I am in for these! I can do these while I am scrubbed in at work. I am finally not so sore. I really didn't think crunches would make me hurt so bad!
