So glad we have a huge group to support each other and keep us accountable! 2 More and we will be 100 :)

If you havent logged your goals and weights do it now! If you dont want to make it public, make sure you right it down for yourself somewhere. Seeing it on paper helps turn the dream into an actual goal. 4 weeks can make a huge change!

With people logging on at different times I'll post the mini challenges a day ahead so you wont miss it. Keep in mind we have all sorts of different fitness levels and goals so you have a choice! If you accept the challenge you have to pick at least one of the following to do tomorrow. When you completed your mini challenge, reply "Done!" to this link. If your amazing you'll try 2 or more :bigsmile:

MINI CHALLENGE:

Drink 10 Glass' of water. 2 extra than the normal 8 because your going to move more than you usually do, or exercise more intensity and you'll need the extra 2
OR
Do the plank for 2 minutes strait plank1.jpg
OR
Do 100 squats. You dont have to do them all at once squat.jpeg

Good Luck, Cant wait to see how many people can get it Done!!

  • Did the plank. The 2 minutes is Not something I had tried for before. Hard but feel successful. Hope to do the squats this afternoon.

    I joined My Fitness Pal yesterday and will take the challenge. Already I am surprised at what I have found in keeping track for just one day. So my personal goal is to keep track everyday for the next four weeks. I will attempt the squats and the plank and drink the water.
  • I will accept the challenge and will report what and when it is complete. Thank you!!!

    Nice. I would gladly do it. I already find drinking 8 glasses of water easy so 2 more should be easy. So is the challenge doing one of it or all 3 challenges?
  • I accept the challenge and will complete 10 glasses of water today and do the plank for 2 minutes... I've never done the plank so this will be a first.

    Yesterday I took the stair to the 6th floor of our hospital, now that was a challenge, but I plan on doing it again today. Hopefully I don't get out of breath by the 3rd floor like I did yesterday.

    I will keep you posted.

    Thanks.

    I did the 2 minute planking, but man am I out of shape! I did horrible honestly, but I'm glad I finished it, even if I had to take a mini 30 second break. I plan to do the squats soon, & maybe I'll hit the gym later too!

    I'll take the 100 squats challenge. Might have to do a few reps in the office bathroom with heeled boots on though and finish the rest tonight at home. I have NOT been drinking 8 glasses of water a day so I'm still working my way up to six and then hopefully 8 by the end of the week. It's hard! I had to get up and pee at 1:30 a.m. this morning. I'm sooo not used to it.
  • Is this every day or just for tomorrow? Thanks a bunch!

    So I'm happy to announce I did the squats a few minutes after completing the plank, & now I'm working on my water intake. I'm on 2 cups so far. I'm more than sure I'll have finished 10 by the time I go to bed. :)

    WOOOHOOO!!!

    100 squats - Check!
    10 glasses of water - Check!!! :drinker:

    I am going to be soooo sore tomorrow. I did the majority of the squats after 30 min of walking with jog sprints on the treadmill. Did not think I could even come close to the water, but after getting on the treadmill and then the squats I've pretty much chugged down four more glasses.

    Imma go soak in the tub now.

    I thought you were supposed to do water and one of the exercises :) I did the two minute plank. It was pretty shakey. The water is another story. I am up to 6 so far.

  • Sorry but due to work (12 hour shift today) I was unable to squeeze it in. But tomorrow I will smash them all. My promise.
  • I'm going to do the squats and the plank on my first break!

    Since I met two of the challenges yesterday, I'll try for the planks today!
  • Both challenges done. Extra water = easy as I needed it after the 2 minute plank!

    Completed the 100 squat challenge... was also shooting for 10 glasses of water, but didn't quite make it.

    I finished my 10 glasses of water by 12pm (although I honestly had forgotten about the challenge until the last 2 glasses!!!).

    I didn't go for the plank nor the squats since I started a class at the gym which tired me out! I did do planks during the class, so that counts right? 30 sec on each side and 1 min normal plank. I also did about 50 squats in the squat machine with 118lbs.

    I think I'm close enough LOL. I can definitely say that I pushed/challenged my self today. VERY PROUD!

    Can't wait for the next challenge... :P
  • Did the squat challenge yesterday, and think I'll try it again today and also add in the plank :)
  • Yesterday I completed:
    6 flights of stairs
    11 glasses of Water
    30 seconds of the plank.

    Okay not quite 2 minutes, but I am not going to give up, i am going to try again today. :smile:

    My goal today is to complete

    - 100 squats
    - 10 glasses of water
    - 2 minute plank
