this weeks mini challenges are as follows:

MONDAY: ARMS.:devil: .. 40 bicep curls(use water bottles or tinned foods for weight if you dont have weights.. 40 tricep dips (sit at the edge of your chair amd hold on to each side and lower your bum to the floor as much as you can using the support of your arms) straighten your legs to make it harder..
TUESDAY: ABS :devil: ... 50 reverse sit up 50 bicycle sit ups and 50 regular sit ups (use weights if you have them)
WEDNESDAY : LEGS :devil: 50 jump squats .. 50 lunges (25 on each leg) again please use weights if you have them..

FRIDAY: CARDIO :devil: ... 50 jumping jacks and 30 Burpees
SATURDAY: CARDIO :devil: 50 mountain climbers
SUNDAY: ... ABS :devil: you will hate these by the time these challenges are over.. PLANKS!!!!!::sad: :sad: :sad: do 4 sets of 2 minute planks.. now i know these are hard ~B~U~T they WILL get easier... if you try and you cant do 2 full mins(try really hard) break it down to 8 sets of 1 minute planks...

if there is anything here your not able to do just change it around a bit or even do your own personal choice.... BUT DO SOMETHING!!! only you are accountable for how hard you work so make sure that every night before you go to bed you feel that you gave it 100% because if you do that you WILL get results....XXXXX

    WHAT ARE BURPEES AND MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS.

    THIS WILL DEFINITELY BE A CHALLENGE FOR ME, BUT I AM IN. I AM DOING WATER AEROBICS TOMORROW BUT SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE TOMORROW. IT SEEMS TO GET PROGRESSIVELY HARDER. I WILL JUST HAVE TO SEE HOW IT WORKS.

    I DIDNT DO ANY EXERCISE THIS WEEKEND EXCEPT SOME ARM LIFTS

    I couldnt do the setups but substituted my Osteo Weight program. Had not done it for a while and was shocked how much muscle mass I had slipped. Had to go back to beginner bands. Oh well,I can't change yesterday, but I do sure have control over today and tomorrow. Exercise in for today except for going for a walk

    Completed challenges for Monday and Tuesday. Today's will be hard having a v. sore knee. Will do my best but may have to re-do Monday and Tuesday's to make up for the lack of leg exercise.

    Only did the mini challenges upto Friday last week due to going away but I'm back now and more determined than ever to get the weight off. There was a wedding at the hotel we stayed at and there were girls/ladies coming in with figures to die for. I will look like that one day I said to myself so I will make sure I work extra hard this week.

    Thanks Andrea for setting the challenges. You do an absolutely marvellous job of keeping us motivated and on our toes. Thank you. x
