Week 4 Challenge

JRIV60

I think I am mostly posting this for myself but I am okay with that. For those of us doing strength/circuit training I'd love it if you continued to post your progress.

As most of you know, I suffered horribly last week with shingles therefore was unable to do the rep challenge. I am posting last week's challenge again as this is what I will be focusing on along with walking Jesse after work.

Try 2 of the exercises in the Intermediate Challenge
Trade 2 soda/tea/coffee for 32oz of water each day

Started off yesterday's rep challenge slow at the request of the hubby so I maxed out on sit ups (50) after walking Jesse. I plan on working on legs today since he does not want me to irritate my right under arm.

50 push ups, various ways
60 squats
30 crab toe touches(one leg one rep)

Great job girlie and lol @ the hubby comment. He went with me on my walk this evening and encouraged me to walk/jog. He ran sprints as I jogged behind him for the same distance. He said I jogged about a third of the 2 miles we walked. I think that is okay considering I have never jogged/ran before.
