    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)

    This is the week we are on :)

    This is a great idea! I wish I had seen your post at the beginning of the month. Instead, I have written down what your challenges are (looking forward to the rest) and I will do them on my own for the beginning of the month of September. I guess my order will be a bit backwards but wil still get it all done!

    It might be easier if we make a group. Any comments?
