    well maybe if ur talking on the phone walk up and down the stairs or if ur doing dishes, everytime u put something in the dishwasher do a squat rather then just bending over. when walking from room to room in ur house or cooking dinner do walking lunges. :wink:

But I have done some exercising. Not as much as you just said. But I did my 30 Day Shred yesterday and it kind of kicked my butt! Does that get me out of working out with you??

    Just got in from work, been up and down stairs all morning, so that gotta count for something :tongue:
    In my job, I have to bend at the knees rather than the back anyway, so that's no problem, must have got in quite a few squats during work - especially when I'm making beds :wink:

    I've got the doctors this afternon- I'm going to walk there - its a 20 minute walk each way, plus the 30 minutes walking during the day to my calls, makes it a nice 70 minute workout today :happy:

    I've just done 2 sets of jumping jacks, 2 sets of crunches, 2 sets of wall pushups and 2 sets of reverse crunches :happy:

    Way to go Jackie! I haven't done anything yet this morning but it is only 9:05 am. I am drinking coffee first! Then after I get good and woke up I am gonna bust into working out! Not sure what I am going to do but it has to be something good since this is the last chance workout. Good luck to you girlie!! Go purple!

    I have already gotten a 20 minute workout done on my bowflex. I will do 30 min tonight. I'm going to do 2 miles on the gazelle instead of the normal 1 I do. Any last chance workout challenges?

    No idea why others don't do as much, strange, I'd have thought more would get involved - any excuse to burn more calories and lose more weight. I guess that's just one thing we'll have to just have to keep wondering about.

    I just did 10 minutes on my exercise bike, about to go back to work for my last 2 calls, then head over to the doctors, so I won't be about for the next couple of hours.

    Renae - your workout the other day sounds good, I'll have a couple of hours left to cram in some more exercise tonight, lets do it !!! :drinker:

    My doctor signed me off work for a week - gotta go see him again next week, to see if I'm fit for work, but he doesn't think I will be :cry: I knew my depression would come back, not surprising with everything that's gone on, on top of that, I've got a chest infection - AGAIN ! :grumble:

    Oh well, on a brighter note, I'll be home more so easier to get more challenges in :drinker:
    Gonna set my exercise equipment up in the lounge tomorrow, and really knock myself otu on it (in a matter of speaking) :laugh:
