November 140 Reps Quick Choice Challenge

We tried this in May with limited success! So this month we'll try again but after feedback I've reduced the number of reps per exercise to 140 per week (was 200 last time!).

We have a 140 Reps per Week Challenge with a choice of exercises. However, only one of us can be doing any one exercise at a time. So, as soon as you post on here your choice of exercise no-one else can take it until the following week. If you finish your 140 reps early then you can come back here and reserve your next exercise.

The exercises are (in order of difficulty in my opinion)

Sit Ups
Star Jumps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1002F35bHDg
Squats http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRnGI3c5Jjs
Lunges http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2n58m2i4jg
Tricep Dips http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKjcgfu44sI
Mountain Climbers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI8u58hPam4
Press Ups http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q49jnZo81nM
Burpees http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TH3nbbMuIs


I hope that's clear (take a look at the May challenge for a better idea) and you can now post to choose your first exercise. Get in quick, you probably don't want to be left with Burpees!
