I loved doing squats yesterday. They really make you sweaty in less than 5 minutes.

Challenge is:

50 squats (not halfs, full squats are better)
45 minutes of any calories burning activity
Stay within your calories goal for today

Who is up for it?

    Me! Does painting count as an activity? I am attending a painting class tonight. I know I can get in the squats even if it is before bed :)

    If painting burns calories then why not. Go for it!

    68 minutes of movement--dancing, walking, elliptical, and more walking:)
    50 squats
    very under calls due to lots of exercise:)

    It was get up and move day at my school and we played songs on the loud speaker 4 times today... everyone moved into the hall and danced YMCA, Cupid Shuffle, Hokey Pokey...... so fun!

    I did all three today!

    Exercised for 60 minutes
    Did 50 squats (10 at a time with 10 jumping jacks thrown in inbetween)
    Under my calories for the day - which was hard because I did not eat well, but I made it up at night and with the extra calories.

    Good effort both of you. This is encouraging.

    I can feel stiffness in my legs. Foam roller time I guess!
