Ok ladies I hope you're ready to sweat I have mixed all our routines together for a great workout!!! push yourself as much as you can.. you're worth it!


Start with 40 Jumping and 20 seconds of mountain climbers

Then 40 squats.. try to add some weight this time so grab those dumbbells hold em' on your shoulders and drop it like its hot.. make sure you squeeze your tush and hold for a beat at the top :-)

10 side lunges with bicep curls ( lunge to right curl both arms, then lunge to the left curl both arms... that counts as 1 rep) Try not to take a break in between this time.

Then do 30 good mornings... standing with feet hip width, one dumbbell in each hand. hinge at the waist without bending your knees and letting the dumbbells hang.. go as far as you can keeping your back straight core tight and chest up.. return to upright position and SQUEEZE your tush as tight as you can hold for a beat and repeat.. ***google it if I didn't explain well enough :-)

do 30 seconds of mountain climbers and then take it to upper body... (try to push yourself here.. these mountain climbers are great cardio and great for both legs and core)

Upper Body

(30 sit ups, 30 push ups)

Here's how.... do 3 sit ups, roll over do 3 push-up and repeat

20 crunches... do 10 and rest for no more than 10 seconds and finish with 10 more.. only take a break if you really need to.. remember pain = your body changing :-)

finish off by holding a plank for 30 seconds ( try to do a plank on hands and balls of feet but if you are a beginner modify by doing it on knees and forearms

Happy Friday Everyone!!!

2 liters of water 3 fruits 5 veggies 2 servings of protein.. your gonna need that protein after pushing your muscles :-) and 2 servings of whole grains

    Great challenge today! I didn't get around to doing the stretches yesterday because I had a really busy day, but I usually take Thursdays off anyway (along with Sundays).

    Love the challenges! You're doing a great job!

    Girl you are crazy, that challenge was a beast!!! I have to admit though that it was sooo worth it after! All the constant up and down and rolling over between push ups and sit ups was tough. I tried to do it without taking any breaks! ( Pain = Body changing) This is so true!
    As for the nutrition, I got just over 2 litres of water in. Banana, blueberries and pineapple for my fruit. Did'nt do so well on the veggies today, will get some extra in tomorrow. Whole grains = Whole grain muffin, whole grain rice. Protein was 26g over today so I think I definitely got plenty:)

    Hope everyone else did good today too, this challenge was not easy!!!
