    Hello GH. Hope you gain the energy as you start exercising.

    I finished week 4 day 1 today. Hanging in there.

    Started the push up challenge last week as well. Girlie push ups are still hard! :flowerforyou:

    Last week would have been my week 2 however I only finished day one then my son and everyone got sick so I'm re-starting my week 2 but its going great. I'm loving this challenge and I can feel a change. Actually when I look in the mirror I can see the change. :bigsmile:

    I know what you mean with the girlie pushups. I try it on my toes and I can get down but never back up. :laugh: I will stick to my knees.

    Okay, I haven't checked in in a few days ~ had to lay off the sit ups for a couple of days, I think I might have been doing them wrong - but the soreness definately got the best of me. I'm starting again tomorrow on Week 2 Day 1 - I googled proper sit up form and I'm hoping I do it right this time.

    Don't go thinkin' I've just been sitting on my bum though - I've been doing weights, jump rope, resistance bands, and walking - and tomorrow, I'll be crunching again.:bigsmile: See ya then.

    dumb question what are the leglifts??

    Lie on the floor, legs straight out, hands at your sides.
    Lift your legs straight up (not bending your knees at all) until they're at a ninety degree angle (or close).
    Lower your legs and repeat without letting your legs touch the floor

    Yeh Lulu!!! Press on woman! :cry: (sweat)

    Today I completed week 4 day 2. I am really feeling the muscles by the end!:ohwell: I love the break between sets.

    The push ups are a different story. Working on week 2. Couldn't finish today. I may go down one level to keep doing the program.
