    Well i am ready to give this a go, but as I havent even heard of most of them i guess it will be a steep learning curve. You tube be prepared - you are going to get a hammering !!!

    OK, so I managed about 20 hip abductions for each leg but can't be more exact than that.. Was so busy concentrating on the breathing i forgot to count !!! Perhaps I'll get the hang of this by the end of the month hehe

    Well didnt get time to do the ab crunches on day 2 , but did do 10 ish on the 3rd along with 25 shoulder presses. So far today have walked 3 miles and climbed 36 flights of stairs - not too bad for a beginner. Will aim for more reps of each exercise next time they come round !!!
