  • Thanks for the challenge! I did it 3 times with my core circuit in between sets....turned out to be a good workout! I groaned when I saw burpees on the list, but you know what really got me? The lunges lol! I'll feel it tomorrow :)

    I did it!!! I only did one set but I also did about 20 min of Zumba Core. This was my first experience with burpies and my goodness they are something else.
  • Okay wow! Did one set, but after 60 minutes of Jazzercise. Oh my goodness...it was difficult, but myself and two other members pushed through it. Thanks for the challenge!

    Yay!! 2 sets done! 15 minutes total. I made one slight change. I changed the 40 total lunges to 20 lunges (10 per leg), 10 squats and 10 lie squats. All working the same general area but slightly different muscle groups. Hooray! I'm enjoying the challenge so far!!
  • I don't typically exercise, but this challenge motiviated me to start day 1 of the 30 day shred video. Here's to hanging in there for the next 29 days (and perhaps by then it will be a routine and I will continue on!) :-)

    Spent an hour at the guy with a trainer...overall body workout with 20 minutes cardio. Up and down the steps at work gave me about 15 flights throughout the day

    Did one set plus 60 minutes of uphill walking. Added a few other weight activities and ab workouts to it as well. All in all a pretty good day!

    Got over 10,000 steps today. I haven't done that in a long time; probably since vacation in August. Feels so good, but after today's challenge I can tell already that I am going to be mighty sore tomorrow. I will continue to work through the soreness as much as possible and more.

    Didn't get to the challenge posted for today. Sounds like a good workout. Maybe I will start incorporating it into my Tues/Thur AM workouts. I did do a 20min workout with free weights and a Smith machine this morning. Then I took 2 15 min breaks (one in the AM & one in the PM) at work today and walked on the treadmill. Still didn't get to my 10,000 steps today but close (7200). I need to get up more and walk at work instead of sitting for hours on end!

    I did 2 sets of the challenge minus the tummy tucks (I wasn't sure what they were, and I was too lazy to look it up.) I also did my regular workout today which consisted of 38 minutes on the arc trainer, 5 minutes on the treadmill, and weight training - lower body.

    Unfortunately, I do not have an hrm so I am unsure how many calories I burned doing the challenge, but I can definitely say it was a good workout.

    I was really feeling sluggish by the time I got to the gym this afternoon but I am committed to completing my c25k. I tacked on this routine after my 30 min "session" and I can honestly say I felt so much better after the combination of the jogging and the circuit. Just what I needed to get me through the evening... because I really want to binge- stupid pms :-(.

    I know the feeling. You were a star the fact that you stuck with the program!! TOM is a killer on me too, I want to eat without counting calories. Great job!

    20 jumping Jack's x2
    7 burpees x2
    10 lunges x 2
    12 push ups x2
    12 dips x2
    8 lunges x2
    30 second plank x2
    10 tummy tucks x2
    10 bicycles x2

    15 min= 138 cal burned
    32 min Insanity Cardio Recovery= 238 cal burned
    45 min of leg day hell day= 501 cal burned

    this was a tough challenge, burpees are killer for me as well as ab workouts but determined to flick the flab :). Keep up the hard work everyone :flowerforyou:

    Done! I didn't go to the gym, so the dips were bench dips, but everything else was more than listed.

    I did everything on the list but 2nd Planks. I wasn't sure how to get that done, and I only made it to three Burpees. I just wasnt used to it, but it didnt take any time at all to do. My legs burned afterwards but I think that was a good sign.

    Its hard to put any of this in my exercise journal though because it doesnt have a place for how many you did, only the time it took to do them, and I forgot to do the exercises for ten or so minutes or more, but I will do better for the upcoming challenges. Gonna do day three for Fab Ab Friday and even more ab exercises like hopefully my yoga and some crunches.
  • I did it and holy moly I'm out of shape... Lunges were killer! I know I'm gonna feel this tomorrow. lol
  • Didn't get to do this yesterday due to an INCREDIBLY busy day.. but I'm on it like Sonic today.. as well as the Friday challenge!
    Thanks for all the great ideas guys!

    I did it last night after my first night of Zumba for Xbox. It took me 13 minutes and I burned 62 calories for 2 sets.

    I did the whole challenge last night! :smile: Feeling pretty proud of myself. hahaha I was going to just skip it, but around 9:45 pm I thought, I should really just do it.
    Got it all except 20 lunges. haha And I only did one set. But since I wasn't going to do ANY, I feel pretty good about that one set!

    I was feeling a little under the weather yesterday but i manage to tough out some exercise. I didn't exactly follow the plan but I think what I did due was comparable.

    14 minute stretching video

    5 minutes of interval circuit training including:

    1 min push-ups (20)
    1 min alternating kneeling squats (drop knee to the floor and stand up)
    1 min shoulder T's with 5 lb weights.
    1 min planks (on forearms)
    1 min skipping in place. (jumping jacks hurt my shin's)

    10 min weight training focused on biceps.

    11 min ab workout video. This is intense ab workout and includes about 40 bicycle crunches

    totals about 350 calories burned
  • I added 10 minutes of jumping jacks, situps and pushups to my Yoga today!
  • 7 minute Elipital warm up

    1 set

    weight work out 50 minutes

    10 min stationary bike...

    SLEEP!!!

    I completed this today going through Twice.

    yesterday I rested for the first time in about 2 weeks. Not sure if that was a good idea or not, but I know I needed the extra sleep :)
