Try to get in 30 min of cardio today :-) You will need a sturdy chair today

Start with 50 jumping jacks and 30 seconds of butt kicks

(30 sit-ups, 30 dips on chair)

Here's how.... do 5 sit-ups, jump up and using your chair do 5 dips and repeat see video below for dips form

30 seconds of punches ... in a wide stance squat until you legs feel it and punch across your body twisting through your core.. keep your hips still... if you want to take it up a notch grab your dumbbells and throw your punches with them..

30 regular crunches and 30 reverse crunches ( do 5 regular then 5 reverse and repeat until each set is complete)

20 push-ups ( do as many as you can and break when needed.. strive to at least 5 before breaking )

do 30 more seconds of punches

and finish it off by holding a plank for 30 seconds


2 liters of water, all your recommended daily protein, 2 servings of whole grains 5 veggies and 3 fruits

Just finished. Some things are easier for me than others, but I do my best and can definitely see an improvement. I also did my normal workout and the mini challenge that charger440 has on his page. Most of the time I drink all of my water, but some days I fall a little short. I usually am able to get the fruits in but sometimes struggle with the veggies.

I think you're doing a great job. You're giving me the motivation to get up and do more than I normally would do, and I can tell that I'm getting stronger.

Have a great day!

Thanks! It's really not as much as it sounds though. I do the Firm Express five times per week, but it's only 20 minutes per day. I figured that it would help to add these extra challenges. I gave myself the out that if I don't feel like doing them then I don't have to because it's better for me to want to do them than to feel like I'm forcing myself to. I just started doing the other mini challenges this week. He gives one thing to do per day and how many times to do it, so it's not too bad.

Looking forward to the next challenge!

Like the change up

Exercise: done
Cardio: 2 hours of chasing my kid around a play gym. Not running but man, dancing on the light up floor counts as cardio...seriously....

Water: Need to drink some more real quick but will get to 2 liters
Food: over ate protein by 28 grams
Whole grains: granola and whole wheat bread
Veggies: 2 salads and a veggie sandwich...lots of lettuce, cucumber, carrots, mushrooms, cabbage
Fruit: avocado and tomato on my sandwich and salad

Awesome day but I did go over calories since I had a beer with dinner.
