Bicep Curls with weights - x50
Supermans - x50
Lunges - x50 (25 each leg)

AND a 20 minute brisk walk.

Hi Team Rudolf

I've been asked to set the challenge for Wednesday. I'm setting it now because of the various time zones and might not get on again later.

1. Jog on the spot for 3 minutes to warm you up
2. 25 jumping jacks
3. 25 crunches
4. 15 hip bridges (holding in place for 10 seconds each time)
5. 25 reverse crunches
6. 15 push ups
7. 2 minutes step ups (using the bottom step of your stairs)
8. 2 minutes of squat thrust

Make sure you drink plenty of water - that's usually my downfall.

Good luck everybody. Come on we can do it.

Thanks for the Wednesday challenge... I've been without power since Saturday because of the snowstorm, and I haven't been able to log my exercises or see the mini challenges but hopefully I'll be back on track now. At least I got some cardio done while shoveling a foot of snow around )

Let's goooo Team Rudolph!!!

Eat More Brussels SproutsNot only are these low-calorie, fat-free, nutrient-packed veggies good for you, but new research shows that they may help boost your body’s production of adiponectin, the hormone that plays a role in burning stored fat for fuel. Brussels sprouts are also full of fiber, which fills you up and prevents you from overeating, says Batayneh. Add a serving with dinner to boost fat burning while you fill up faster and load up on nutrients

Hi everyone....just checking in to all my challenge pals. I have not been terribly motivated lately but I haven't been terrible either. It seems like work is very hectic so I don't find time to check in at lunch time and then my the time to sit down at the computer after dinner, I feel pretty tired. Still - we have to FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS - soon the holidays will be here in full force.

Does anyone have anything FUN going on in their lives these days??

It has been really quiet...come back everyone! I have a lot of fun stuff going on - studying, studying, studying :laugh: I've been doing ok this week after my big Halloween splurge. I might actually lose something!
