    Hello Everyone,
    My name is Esther, Thanks to Clover5, and her encouragement, I am going to give this challenge a shot.
    I do Squats, they are hard for me, and I can't necessarily say that I like them, but I have heard they are really good for shaping up and toning down.
    I mentioned to Clover5, that I see many do also spin classes which I also do, and this I can say I really do enjoy.

    Well wish me luck.:smile:

    :bigsmile: Welcome Esther.....I do plie squats and they are much easier to do but equally good for toning. I alternate days of squats with days of a yoga pose called warrior III which is a balancing pose that's a hamstring stretch. I've never done a spin class but I've heard great things about them......good luck to you.

    :bigsmile: Welcome Esther! I love spinning. I go at least 5 times a week when I am not traveling. I did squats for my first round in the 100 day challenge. I moved to strengthening my core in my second round of the challenge. I am getting very toned in my thighs and butt from spin class. My quads are growing nicely. It is now my favorite form of aerobics. Good Luck to you on whatever you try in this 100 day challenge.

    Barbie I wouldn't want to hold a leash while doing those exercises. I hooked the dog leash to a tree while I did my run, calisthenic, jog thing. She laid in the shade and watched me jog back and forth on the field. You're having a very busy summer.

    Hi all. I am ready to join the challenge again. I would like to do 100 crunches/situps/backlifts in 100 days. I am working on strenghthening my core. I have some beautiful sculptured muscles in my thighs after completing the l00 squats in 100 days challenge and going to spinning class. Who knew I could grow muscles? I like them! Who knew I would like to exercise? Then again who knew I would begin to crave vegetables. My life has changed a lot doing my first year on MFP. I look forward to giving and receiving support!

    Hi! After reading your post....I am back in for sure...starting for August! I totally slacked off last time around.......your post was so inspiring!
