Week 2
Its really not that bad......................
I want to build off of last weeks exercise so we can continue to grow stronger. Lets tune it up and make it just a bit more fun! If you are still doing modified push-ups, try moving from the wall to a lower object such as a table, couch, bench or chair. Move your legs back further, and go for it! A few exercises have been added to make the exercise ~ 30 minutes long. Planks have been dialed down at the beginning of the week, to work up to the 20 second plank once again.
Exercise Program - Week 2 - April 21 - April 27, 2014
Daily Challenge
-10,200 Steps
-Enjoy the outdoors! I'm sure some of us of lead busy lives. I challenge you this week to take a moment and enjoy the outdoors. Walking to your car, grabbing your garbage cans from the curb or walking from your car to work does not count. I want you to truly be outside to enjoy it. No distractions(unless you're taking your children with you). Ride your bike, walk outdoors, or simply sit on the steps for a few minutes.. and take a look around.
Week 2 - Program
Each exercise is to be done 3 times, all at once, or throughout the day.

New Exercises
Squat Jump
-Start like a normal squat, instead of coming up to rest, just jump up, then come back down into a squat and repeat.
Crunches
-Lay on the ground, knees up, hands behind your head for support(fingers wide like holding a basket ball) and crunch your abs!
Knee Highs
-Bring your knees up!
Cobra
-lay on the ground, and lift your upper body. This will work on your lower back, and will relieve lower back pain if you have any.
Sit-ups ( at the end of the week )

Thanks for posting. I lost my fitbit! It's in my house somewhere because it will sync but just cannot find it. I walked for an hour this morning on the treadmill . . . . . I won't be able to do the steps until I can find my fitbit friend!0

Thanks for taking this over.
I was off all week and very surprised to see what happened but we still can do this.
I will be taking it easy as I have had severe back pain, possibly my sciatica but it has gotten better. I literally crawled out of bed it hurt so bad. In that being said no jumping jacks or anything of that nature. I'm heading back to the gym tomorrow don't want to loose the momentum.0 -

I completed day 1 today since I took a rest day yesterday and will completed day 2 tomorrow!0

How do you manage to reach 10,000 steps a day? I walk to and from class (a mile each way) and then I'm on my feet all afternoon at work. After work I have to sit and study all night long. I'm just at 9,000 steps, but I won't get those last 1000-3000 in today.
I ate so healthy today too! It feels wonderful!0 -

Walk an extra 15 minutes just walking around, that should get you another 1,000-1,500 steps if you're walking quickly0 -
Got in 3.25 mile walk with hubby and grandpuppy, also managed to get 12,689 steps so far. That's all I'm doing today.
Back tomorrow after the landscaper finishes his drought-tolerant design for our front yard. We have no rain in California...oh, wait...that sounds like a song...ooohh...it is a song!!! No rain = no watering lawn = brown lawn = unhappy Chris :noway:
