This is the challenge that pinkgirlzoe has picked for the week. Remember that all of the fitness challenges are optional but a good way to get an extra burn. If you do them please report back to us to let everyone know how it is going. Good luck.

"Ok challenge for the week and this is one that everyone can do is:

I want you to imagine that your feet (one at a time) are a giant pen. I want you, while sitting or standing to write out the alphabet in the air. Nice big letters, in both upper and lower case with your leg. When you have done one leg move onto the second.

Now do the same thing with your arms (one at a time)

I want you to do this on both your arms and legs 4 times each day between now and monday. Do not have to do all 4 reps in one go and can space them out throughout the day. "

What a great challenge - thanks pinkgirlzoe

I often wonder what exercises I can do whilst sat at my desk all day. Will probably get a few funny looks though :happy:

The first measurements happen to be done the last week of June. That week should count as the start week or week 1. Last week was the first week of July but says week 2 because it was your second measurements. Monday will be the 2nd week of July but your third week of measurements. It just depends on how you want to look at it.
