    Sorry I didn't clarify. High knees would be 250 per knee.

    So, I'm noticing I'm having a hard time getting my stuff for Fridays and Saturdays done.

    Am I allowed to do them early? Like tack them on a different day?

    Sure! As long as you get your full week done I don't see a problem with it.

    I'm not sure if it just me being really unco-ordinated but I found it tough to do the arms and legs at the same time with the plank rows, thankfully nobody was watching me do them :laugh:

    I chose the Jumping Oblique Twists which I actually don't mind, I probably should have done the High Knees as I find it very
    challenging to keep my knees up high but I dislike these almost as much as Jumping Jacks and Burpees :tongue:
