Hey all. sorry I forgot to do this last night, so here goes.

MONDAY: Do some squats. Just do as many as you can, hold onto a chair if you need too.

TUESDAY: Wall, counter top, table top or GIRL pushups.

WEDNESDAY: Fake jumping jacks, unless you can do the real thing. Fake, just do the arm part of them.

THURSDAY: Planks, they are not as hard as we think. Do leg or knee ones. If not sure how to do them, you can google it.

FRIDAY: March in place again, raising the knees as high as we can and bring the arms up and down on the opposite side.

SATURDAY: Dance for 5 minuets or longer, doesn't matter what type of dancing, just move it, shake it jiggle it, do it!

SUNDAY: Drink all the water you can, at least the 8 glasses. And most kitchen glasses are over 8 ounces. If you are not sure what the 8 ounces looks like, get out a measuring cup and pour it in the 1 cup first. You will be surprised.

Good luck to us all. I know we can do these or variations of them.

:love:

    Good morning, Californiagirl! I'm back into the swing of things. I did 5 squats yesterday, using the wall for support and 20 wall push ups this morning. Thanks for the challenges, they energize me.

    Have a great day.

    Yeah, so glad you are back in the swing. Good job on the squats and the wall pushups. That reminds me, I need to do some of those. I did girlie ones earlier but wanted to do a few wall ones too!

    I did 20 real jumping jacks after walking 35 minutes on the treadmill. I think I should have done it the other way around (lol).

    Oh I envy you for doing real ones. I tried when I started doing the Biggest Loser exercises, but my body screamed at me and said NO! So fake ones it is. Good job gramanana.

    Yeah, the first time I tired. I though no way, but in time, I got much better. You can also to them on your knees and it is a little easier. At least you tired so an achievement award to you! :flowerforyou:

    Hey, californiagirl, I did 10 minutes of marching and I figured out how to do one style of plank, although I can only do 2 and hold them for 6 seconds. I told you I'd practice! Thanks.

    50 sit ups is awesome. Planks take some getting used to and good job on the marching in place.
