Alright everyone! I started yesterday, so lets see if we can start a little group challenge. I already have a pretty good workout routine, but it has become that- a routine- so I am adding in 100 jumping jacks and 30 crunches EVERY EVENING for the rest of the month! Let's so this! I completed them last night- which actually really did sway me from snacking! Anyone who would like to commit to this lil' ol' challenge in addition to their regular routine...Let's do it!

Day 1# 100 jumping jacks, 30 crunches (20 bonus bike crunches *elbow to opposite knee)
**No Late night snacking!!**

    I am currently doing Power90, so I can't really do any extra exercising cause I wanna stick to the program, but I def sometimes do snack late at night, so I will cut that out for sure :)

    I would caution against doing crunches everyday....stomach muscles neeed two full days of rest

    What if you focused on diff. areas each day?? i.e. side crunches, leg lifts, the traditional?

    All the studies still show 2 days of rest...the stomach is fhe hardest muscle...also u can do more with dieting than exercising to improve if ur someone who is already in shale like urself

    I got off work- picked up daughter, hooked her up with afterschool snacks, then almost started in on her plate. Granted my daughter almost eats healthier than I do, but IT WAS NOT MY DINNER TIME and I WAS NOT HUNGRY. Instead I logged on, viewed this group, and started jumping :~) Last night I did 100 jump jacks in 2 minutes, 125 today! It feels soooo good. Not to much, light sweat, gets the blood flowing, and my mind off of food! This tiny little commitment I made to myself is already really working for me.....might start a 9pm yoga sesh everynihight just befor bed. Holy moly I might actually be getting my boredome eating/late night snacking under control!! :love: **fingers crossed**
