    Week 3

    14th - Jump Squats. 3 sets of 8 jumps. 1 minute rest in between if you need to. http://www.shapefit.com/quadriceps-exercises-freehand-jump-squats.html/

    15th- WEIGH IN Reverse Flys 3 sets of 10. If you do not own weights that is ok. Seated Reverse Flys: These can be done without weights, but for more resistance, use light weights or filled water bottles. Find a chair, firm couch or bed and place a pillow on your lap. Let arms hang down to the floor while resting your chest on the pillow. Think about squeezing your shoulder blades together and lift your arms away from the floor, just past shoulder level. A good visualization is to make the insides of your shoulders blades 'kiss'. Keep your head facing down and your feet firm on the floor for support. This move works the posterior deltoids (back shoulders) and trapezius (upper back). Try for 3 sets of 10 lifts, with a 30 second rest in between sets.

    16th - Scissor Kicks 2 minutes.

    17th- Planks 1 minute, 3 reps. Modify on knees if necessary

    18th - 35 minutes of any cardio

    19th- 20 minutes of any cardio. 30 chair presses (dips)

    7th - Hip Lift Progressions http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/workout/butt/exercises/our-top-10-exercises-to-tone-your-butt/
    8th - WEIGH IN 1 min to 3 min of Inch Worms http://www.acefitness.org/exerciselibrary/254/inchworms
    9th - Hoop Jumps 1 to 2 mins (like you are shooting a basketball, as fast as you can)
    10th - One Arm Tricep Pushups 8-12 reps each side http://exercise.about.com/od/exerciseworkouts/ss/tricepexercises_6.htm
    11th - Crunches 100 and 25 mins of any Cardio
    12th - 35 mins of any Cardio
    13th - Back extensions 1-3 sets of 10-16 reps http://exercise.about.com/od/exerciseworkouts/ss/backexercises_10.htm


    I have been keeping up with the workouts, but I haven't come back to the page to log my results. I usually complete the challenge before I start my scheduled workout routine in an effort to get me warmed up and ready to move. Right now, my weight is bouncing between 132 and 133! I never see 131 or 134, so I guess I'll say I'm maintaining right now.
