    I'm in love with the variation of these work outs!!! Cardio is great and mixed with working out the muscles is even better. Thanks for the wonderful idea!!

    Ideas you asked for:
    Squats, back exercises, variation of abs ... Anyone else have thoughts!!

    If everyone helps we will achieve greatness!!! You all are doing a wonderful job!!! Keep up the great work!!!!

    Got home from work and started today's challenge. Oh my, push ups were a challenge for sure. I started with 15in a row, then could only do 10 in a row, then had to resort to doing only 5 in a row. So I would do 5, followed by 10 leg lifts, then repeat that series until I had finished 50 of each. I still have to do my 20 minutes of cardio yet.

    I got my 20 mins of cardio doing circuit training

    Ball Slams
    Battle Ropes
    Medicine ball twist
    Med ball toss
    and step ups with a med ball

    Did this 2x

    I went for Leg press instead of leg lifts, did 24

    Push ups are not something I'm able to do yet but I might sub that for crunches if I feel up to it later.

    GO GO GO people you guys are awesome.
