    100 Workout, sorry never heard of this? Does this mean we do every exercise you listed each day? Or we pick and choose any of the exercises listed as long as you total 100?

    Example if I do:

    50 lunges with bicep curls
    30 butt kicks
    20 Push ups
    =100

    ??

    I googled the 100 workout and it says the exercises have to add up to 100reps.
    So u can pick from the list right?!?

    I think circuit is probably the best way to log these exercises.:smile:

    hello how are you? I also would like to know this, if it takes 20 minutes to do all exercises is that 20 minutes circuit and do we takes rests inbetween like they do in a class xx

    Definitely take rests in between, if you list the exercises individually it won't calculate calorie consumption for the "strength" exercises, if you are ok with this than list them individually. I personally won't record this as a circuit, because I'm waiting for my HRM to calculate calories properly, but everyone is different.

    I was thinking of adding up the time I spend on it throughout the day and logging it under Circuit when I'm done so I can keep track of it. I won't eat those calories though since I don't think it would be accurate.

    Edit to add: Thanks for the response about how to log it :smile:

    wow that is quite a challenge . I'm gonna give it my best shot. So all those exercises have to be completed each day of the challenge? That is how I am understanding it.

    Last week I was on a bike ride going down a steep dip in the trail at the bottom there is a fence and barrier, long story short, I went flying into the fence my face is a bit of a mess, suspected broken finger, cuts & bruises on left side of my body and a badly bruised sternum - so exercise is out for me, I don't want to leave the challenge, so I'm going to do the water / food parts only - for what the nurse said it could take 4-6 weeks for my sternum to fully heel, it hurts to breathe - I have been resting but it's driving me nuts, I haven't been out of the house my face is drooped (fluid) and I have a cut where I impacted the fence. I'm not going out until it heels so that will be a good couple of days yet!

    I've had too many treats the last few days, my OH was talking to me today and he says because I'm not able to exercise I need to tighten up my diet, he's right. I'm going to give the walk away the pounds dvd a go on Monday.

    The good thing was the nurse said I was fit and very slim (I'd nearly hit goal) but I'm not going on the scale as I've had medicinal wine most nights as well as crap food.

    I thought this challenge looked a lot but I’ve split it into 4 circuits and its only taken me 20 minutes and burnt off 104 calories. I combined the squats and fist punches and used 2 x 1L water bottles as weights for the bicep curls.
    This is what I broke it down into

    Circuits 1 and 2
    20 x jumping jacks
    20 x twist jumps
    20 x squat and fist punches
    20 x lunge and bicep curl (10 each leg)
    10 x push-ups (from my knees)
    10 x leg lifts
    20 x crunches

    Circuit 3
    20 x jumping jacks
    20 x twist jumps
    20 x squat and fist punches
    10 x lunge and bicep curl (5 each leg)
    10 x leg lifts
    30 x crunches

    Circuit 4
    20 x jumping jacks
    10 x twist jumps
    20 x jumping jacks
    10 x squat and fist punches
    10 x squats
    20 x crunches
    10 x leg lifts
    10 x bicycle crunches

    in hindsight tomorrow i'll put the bicycle crunches on circuit 1 as my stomach muscles really felt it

    Hello I did 1 circuit of everything in the order shown, It took me 20 mins including rests and I burned 90 calories.. I really enjoyed it, I might increase it to two circuits mid week and then three by the end. :) xxx

    Okay...I can dig this week challenges. Last week with the friuts and vegs; negative on my end. Just was constantly busy this week. Love the water and really think the 100 workout will be good. I'm going to have to look several up. Good Luck everyone :drinker:
