    Does this mean do 10 of each then repeat 10 times, meaning 100 side lunges, 100 squats and so on???

    Yes. The challenge is to complete 10x10 of all four exercises. It's not as bad as it sounds especially when broken up by switching up exercises, but listen to your body and just do what you can. If you want to start off just doing a a few sets, you can always work up to 10 sets as the weeks go on.

    I did 2 different gym classes today, both of which had squats, lunges, mountian climbers, as well as kick boxing. I don't think I can handle anymore today.

    Oh, and I forgot the flutter kicks which are like leg drops.

    Did this, and added leg curls with a stability ball, reverse lunges, elliptical machine and several more ab exercises. :noway:
    I am SOOOOO sore, and so sleepy. So glad today is long cardio, cuz my poor body couldn't lift a 2lb dumbbell right now if I had to.
