    In case anyone else asks - the "Up and downs" are also called Burpees. Some people might know them by that name.

    I have a question everyone! I have been out all day with my Grandmother and JUST got home and will be starting dinner now. I will be under my calories and have my water intake but does the extra mile have to be today? Can I get that in tomorrow along with the other challenge as long as it's done by Sunday???

    As long as you do 1 challenge per day, if you need to swap it out with another, that's fine. An easier one might be 25 squat lunges or 50 crunches.

    Okay, I am really worried about doing the up downs and the squat lounges..... those all involve heavy knee effort, which i am unable to do. how should i do them to make the strain a little easier for my knees?

    112 oz water, under calories and I did the 40 up and downs (burpees) tonight because I am traveling on Thursday (Day 4) and can't do them then.

    Hey guys!!! Mochama12487 had asked about a modified up and down because of knee issues. While I know this challenge is about pushing ourselves beyond our normal load, there is the case of not being at a fitness level where a regular workout is possible yet. Here is a video that shows a regular up and down (burpee, squat thrust) and a beginner modified version.

    I've pushed my knee to the limit today and don't want to be out of commission so I'm looking for alternatives to anything that puts a strain on the knee. Just sharing what I found:

    Title: FAQ - My knees hurt when I do squats. Are there other alternatives?
    Link: http://exercise.about.com/library/blsquatFAQ.htm

    Title: How to Lunge - Variations, Modifications and Mistakes
    Link: http://exercise.about.com/od/lowerbodyworkouts/ss/howtolunge_3.htm

    If the team has other alternatives, please share. I want to keep going for the entire month :-)

    Ok, Today is going to be a crazy weird day for me because I've been up all night at work...
    Done with 100 ab crunches, already at 72oz of water...
    WILL be under on calories lol - I've only had about 270 so far and it's my lunchtime already...

    So I'll post again before I close out my diary for the day - but woohoo at least THAT is done
