Well done to those who did yesterdays!
So TODAY we're doing:
15 squats
16 lunges
5-10 squat thrusts (if these are too hard, try mountain climbers instead.
Below are links to demos of the exercises!
One thing I want to say is with BOTH squats and lunges, your knees should NEVER stick out over your toes!

I incorporated them in my Tabata session! we did a cuircuit styled Tabata of lunge and kick, then sprint run, squats with weights, flys and shoulders, abs (crunches), speed skater jumps, wall sit with a hammer or bicep curl and sumo squats with weights. I did mountain climbers at the end.
It was fun

Thank you for posting today's! I will double up and do it tomorrow--just had a chance to check the boards. I just have a quick question- what is a press up? Is it a push up?0

Yup press ups and push ups are the same…it just depends on where in the world you are as to which you call them!0

You tube video demos are below! If you have any back problems you might want to miss out the back extensions…..but you can always replace them with more press/push ups!
Back extensions -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKjcgfu44sI - In the video the wman has her feet of the floor, to make this exercise a little easier you can keep your feet on the floor!
Chair dips -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKjcgfu44sI 0 -
Would you recommend doing these around the time we might do any other exercise or just fit these in at any time of the day?0
-
Really doesn't matter…they're only short so fit them in where you can!0
-
Hey Adam, the YouTube posts for the extension and the chair dip are the same. Are they the same exercise? I know what a chair dip is but I don't know what the extension is.0
-
I found it.0
-
Sorry didn't realise must have got the wrong link!
Next challenge!
This one is different, for me Sunday is all about relaxing….well kind of! So I thought we'd incorporate that into todays challenge
5-10 min gentle walk/jog/run
5-10 min stretch
The link below is a guide to stretching!
