    To help fellow Wolverines:

    Cardio reps are fast to do, make you burn calories, increase your heart rate and are easy to include pre-post workout: You can do 5 minutes of cardio reps before your workout: jumping jacks, jump ropes, burpees (though 25 of it is a killer :), etc... or ab series afterwards

    I also do abs during TV commercials
    I do wall pushups in my office before or after lunch break, wall squats...

    You have to do 25 at a time, but it is manageable, doing them here and there, you will reach 400 in no time!

    @ Izzie, that's fine with me but do you have a particular one that I could put down, I'm thinking about going for crane :noway: haha - I can't get up into it, so thought that one will be a good one and I do like a challenge :)

    Also this week we not logging the habits #4&5 - just coming up with them by Friday,

    @ Dar - that's perfect thanks and good luck with the flexibility, mine well and truly sucks so does my balance also

    I'll log mine later, still trying to think of what I want to choose, decisions, decisions, decisions.....

    Hi all -

    I do a few of my reps when I'm in the kitchen, (counter push ups are great), I'll do squats when I'm preparing food or cooking, I'll do my lower body workouts when I'm watching a bit of evening telly. It really doesn't take too much to get a few in. I've got into the habit of immediately upon arising in the morniing, doing a few side bends and lunges, it's a great way to wake up and it's good for you....An awful lot of reps can be amended to be done sitting down as well, something I had to do when I hurt my back. So again, sitting watching telly, do knee to elbow raises. Hope this all helps..

    Just about to go out for running club, but I did an extra hour walk. I had an appointment with the kids school at 2 got out for quarter past, so instead of going home to come back I went for a bit of a walk around to explore, got 3.54 mile done in the hour, not too bad of a pace considering one of the hills I walked up :) So even if running club is a short run tonight I got my 60 done!!!!!

    Anyway better go get my kit together and warm up

    Thanks Kelly, will amend the chart accordingly..... But it will be a great way to build reps as I do the class 3 days a week at 0800 so will be able to use it for my Friday morning..! :)

    @ Twin_mom - as a rule of thumb, what I sis was worked out how long it took me to do 25 sit up - it was a min then used that as my guide for things like planks... I'm almost sure it was Sheri how said this in the first place - so if you don't hear back from her - use 25 per min.
