    Hi all! My computer is not functional well, at all (it's really old). I have had nearly no access to any web sites. It might even shut me out again before I finish typing, :grumble: Just wanted to let you know I am keeping track of my exercise and adding it on here once we get a new computer!

    Keep up the good work!! :happy:

    Sorry about your computer problems. I know too well what that is like. Hang in there!

    Great work everyone!! :drinker:

    My computer is working intermittently. I think I've read some people can access the forums via their phone app?? I can't access the forums from my phone or Kindle Fire. I only see my personal news feed and diary unless I am on my computer. Am I missing something?

    Wed: 40 push ups
    Thurs: 40 push ups
    Fri: 40 push ups, 3 planks, 40 crunches

    Tacked on 30 crunches to my exercise routine today. -->770 to go

    continue to do 30 crunches as part of my floor routine all the way through July 6, which equates to 180 crunches done-->620 to go. I might take Sunday off.

    I did them anyway--so ttl as of 7July = 210 crunches done--> 590 to go.


    Heat wave and no a/c until scheduled repair, so I skipped a couple of days. I will be upping my daily target to make the monthly.
    This pass week I did 140 as of 13July = 140 crunches--> 450 to go.

    I'm new to the group and had the challenge posed to me but I train with the TRX suspension system. Every workout I do pushups (suspended in the air), and plank/crunch combos. How well do these exercises translate to the challenge? Does anyone else use the TRX system or is familiar with it?

    Thanks for the invite to the group. I look forward to the interaction.

    Welcome to the group! Your TRX workouts definitely apply to this challenge. :drinker:

    I'm bailing on the challenege, I know it's bad, but this month I haven't been able to execute my plan as well as I like. I'm losing weight from nervous energy instead while going through a personal loss. Remainder of this month I'll be happy to get long walks and some body weight sessions into the grove and my overdue library books returned while I keep things in perspective and don't over worry about an unknowable future. :ohwell:

    Oh, Rocky, I am so sorry for your loss. I will be keeping you in my thoughts.

    Got pushed hard at my TRX class today. For starters, I wore a 4 lb weight vest for most of it because I didn't have enough resistance from my body weight. I lost weight over the past month and my body was used to pushing more weight. This qualifies as a minor NSV!

    Exercises on the TRX that are related to the challenge were 20 pushups, 30 tricep pushups, 40 core plank/crunch combos and 20 hamstring crunches while laying on our backs. This is about 15 minutes of a 60 minutes session.
