Slow start this morning. I decided to do it twice and finish the half hour with just some other exercises. Mark it DONE! WOOHOO

And of course it was a lot easier this time around! Love improvements.

I did three sets today. I did "counter" pushups!! My SO suggested them so I could slowly ease back into the pushups. I go pretty slow though! Filled in the 30 mins with other challenges.
You are right, Shelley, so much easier and quicker!
TTYT

New to this group today. So I did the set twice tonight as an added bonus to my workout. I think this is great. Thanks for the extra push Shelley.0

Would love to do the facebook group if I can. Let me know what I need to do.0

I am behind and decided to go on an do a week of the final three days before resetting. Did we really start at 40 JJ's? We've come a long way, baby!!! I did full push-ups on my toes today, and complete burpees! I felt great today. Ran two miles of intervals later in the day...and now I cannot even find a place to lay down or sit I am so sore! LOL
Edit: Oh! And check out my new profile pic! I am getting a little muscle! (Laughing is not allowed, I'm really proud of it.) LOL
))) 75 pushups or so a few times a week ought to do something! 0 -
Nice muscle, JoanB5!! Good job on the pushups and the burpees! My burpees are getting faster, and my pushups are getting slower!! bwahahahah! Yeah, I ended up doing more jacks and squats just because I zoned on both and am so used to counting higher!! I thought that was pretty funny!!
Have a good evening

Hi skirker74, if you want the facebook group, I think you have to hit the facebook icon up in the right corner of the screen when you are on the original group page invite.
Have fun!

Hi guys, after yesterday I decided to go back to the last full weeks challenge. Did it twice! Now that is a much better workout. Nice to have the option of switching it up.
Chris 3 sets! Great job. And those counter push-ups are a great alternative. And filling in with other exercises is a great idea. Nice to always get in 30 minutes.
Joan you are rocking! Hey what is that chicken wing I see? Oh no, wait, I see it now! It is the new, the improved Joan. WOOHOO. Great job.
And Sharee it is nice to have you. Sorry to lose you to face Book though.

You know what??? I was thinking the exact same thing when I finished yesterday! I am going to do our last full week set tonight. I have another challenge that did pretty much the same thing, and I'm going to go back to ...the middle set on that. I like 50 sit-ups instead of 100. Good thinking, Shelley! Even though I did three sets last night, it wasn't enough. ugh! I can't believe I just said that!! Thanks for putting it into words.
I'm hoping to walk w/my daughter tonight. She's on Spring Break from her teaching gig but also working on her Ed D, so she's always jammed up. Otherwise, I'll walk by myself.
TTFN
Chris0 -
It is good to change it up. But mostly I like knowing that you and Joan are here holding me accountable. Ab work, now that I so should start adding more of. Hope you get to walk with your daughter. LOL, you did say it though. Three not enough, lol.

I'm sorry, I don't know how to post a calender to this site.
This is a killer workout about the middle of week two!!0 -
This is a link to a terrific looking (because I just looked at it!!!) Ab exercise...it's called The 300 Ab exercise...I think!
http://kayciesantics.blogspot.ca/2012/03/300-ultimate-ab-and-core-challenge_22.html
I'm going to do them after I do our workout...which starts now!
I'll return in a bit...
Chris0 -
You 're killing me! Lol0

Okay...now there's no laughing in Exercise Land!!!!
I did our Mar 22--27 workout twice, then I attempted the 300 Ultimate Ab & Core Challenge and did just fine until the Roll-Up V-Ups. I can't get both ends of my body up off the floor at the same time...I did 50 sit-ups instead.
I didn't get to walk w/my daughter. Maybe tomorrow. I did 4.23 miles in 61 minutes by myself.
I'm also very glad you are here doing this with me. I have more fun here and actually want to get the exercises done, so I can post and see how you're doing. So, Thank You for that!
I hope you had a good day.
Chris0 -
I'm signing on for April - this sounds great!0
-
If nothing else we work out and have fun encouraging each other. Jump on in and have a good workout. Modify any time you need to. :0
Shelley0 -
Chris, roll up V's are tough. LOL, I have done them before in P90X ab ripper X. That is a killer.
And I am so glad we are here together. And seem to be attracting other like minded individuals.
Still laughing by the way. LOL
Shelley0 -
Glad to see you kept this up for April! I have done the first three days after my classes at the gym. Love this challenge!0
-
Day two and three done. Because I injured my right wrist, I have to modify my pushups. I am don't really have upper body strength and this will be great to help with that. Thanks for letting me join in.0
-
Glad to have everyone. Chris has kept the ball rolling here for us all. Remember to modify as needed. And add your name at the bottom of your posts so we can get to know everyone. Tonight is zumba! Yeah
Shelley0 -
Well I never found time today. I did get my zumba class in. So tomorrow instead of a rest day looks like I will be doing our challenge. I also have a friend who wants to do abs. So looks like I will be getting it in.
Shelley0 -
I got this workout in, but I didn't get to walk. Tomorrow I'll walk but not exercise.
Shelley -- cool on the abs workout...do you know what you'll be doing? I did two other challenges that were ab workouts today...plus 55 sit-ups.
Hello to szirker74, lemonhead66, and bennettangie! I hope everyone is having some fun!
Tomorrow is my rest day.
May your workday go swiftly and painlessly!
Chris0 -
I remember there are pikes! Lol, Lol I will tell you more after I do them. And I will start adding in some of the other ones you wrote down about every other day. Still laughing here. 0

I o should have timed myself! I did the week with 15 burpees. Twice. I jumped right in and just flew through it. Did almost all the pushups on my toes. Did not even take a break. I felt great. WOOHOO. Did not even have a chance to get the abs in though. Hubby came home early and wanted to go walking. How could I say no. Lol
Shelley0 -
I am getting this workout in after I finish my regular work out at the gym. And I am going to try and work in the Ab workout but you ladies are hard to keep up with...but enjoying the challenge!
