    didn't have a chance to check in yesterday but my 50 pushups were completed (all girly from the knee style - but with good form and done in 2 sets of 25 with only about a 5 minute break in between. for me, that's a big deal!)

    My 50 push-ups are completed (10 real ones and 40 girlie ones) plus I did an extra 50 squats and 50 crunches for extra toning and calories burned. I went out to eat for lunch and I am going out tonight with my boyfriend - I need all the extra calories I can get right now.

    great job on the extra toning. such an inspiration! I hope you had a great date night with the bf :smile:

    Beth's Angels Toning Group: Today is our rest day unless you have something to make-up for the past week. I hope everyone has a great Sunday, and be ready to go again tomorrow.

    A reverse crunch is when you put your legs straight up in the air (when laying on your back) and life your butt up off the floor. It uses your lower abs (or your "pouch" from those of us who have/had babies). You could also youtube it for a demo I am sure.

    Well, so much for my rest day - I did Ripped in 30 (level 2) and I am doing an extra 50 crunches, 50 squats, and 50 push-ups for some extra toning while watching Hawaii 5-O.

    I was a lazy bum this weekend. It was my bday so I had lots of company and such and that kept me from workoing out. I woke up Saturday morning early and even though my body wanted to workoutmy stupid brain was like "take a break! you toally deserve it!" so I stayed in bed even though I had itchy legs burning to get up and exercise. gah! I hate when my brain plays that trick on me! At least I didn't go overboard on the snacking this weekend.

    But I'm back at er today. I had an awesome workout this morning and am pumped for a new week of challenges :happy:

    Beth's Angels Toning Group: Today's mision is 50 push-ups done anyway you can (real ones, girlie ones, against the wall, etc). Just as long as you complete them. Check in when completed.

    Mine are completed with 15 real ones and 35 girlie ones - I thought the 15 real ones were going to kill me, but I did it.

    30 so far today. whew! I was offered a free taekwondo class since I'm paying for my two kids to attend and was seriously thinking about it but if i can't get 30 pushups in at a time i'm not sure if joining now is a good idea! maybe after doing this for a few weeks!

    I endd up in the hospital yesterday so I couldn't finish my push ups. IDK if it's a smart idea to try squats today, I had a massive kidney stone attack and I haven't passed it yet. I am so sore on the right side, it is the biggest stone I've had in fifteen years. *sadface*

    I would take it easy - you can always come back and do the squats later. You don't want to make things worse.

    Well, I did complete today's mission - 75 squats in a row and my daughter did some too with me (she is at work with me today). Also, while at work I did some extra girlie push-ups (50) and 50 crunches - extra toning, and I ran in place for 30 mins and walked/stepped in place for 30 mins. I needed the extra calorie burn today because otherwise I would be over big time today - Burger king for lunch.

    Completed - hoping to do atleast 2 circuits of Ripped in 30 - level 3. It is a brutal level, but I need the extra cardio today.
