    1. Drink at least 5 (8oz) of water EVERYDAY this week. 3/7
    2. 8 Sets of 25 Squats 3 out of 7 days this week. 100/600
    3. Get 30 Min of cardio at least 3 out of 7 days this week.0/3

    All I've accomplished is drinking my water. My legs hurt so bad that I could hardly walk, much less do any sort of exercise! WOW! I'll see what I can do as far as the squats go, but if they make me hurt so bad that I can't get my regular routine done, I don't think I'll be able to meet this particular challenge. These old legs just can't handle them. :sad: :sad: :sad:

    I'm going to get one of my extra cardio in today...I'd better get a move-on! I only have four days left to get it all done! :grumble:

    1. Water: 4/7
    2. Squats: 0/3
    3. Cardio: 3/7, Extra: 1/3

    I am already on 3 glasses of water today. I never have a problem with the water so I'm going to go ahead and mark it done for today. I'm going to try and get to the squats today. Yesterday I managed an 18 minute walk ands a 55 minute workout DVD. The DVD was extra, normally it would have been just a walk day.

    Good luck!

    I did my first yesterday. I wasn't really sore today. A little "noodley" legged on stairs, but otherwise great.

    So, go get 'em! :wink:

    Allison, I decided to use my Total Gym at maximum height with weights added to do my squats. My legs still burn, but I think I'll be able to walk tomorrow.:laugh: I know it's cheating, but it's better than doing nothing. I would have a much better chance of doing them the old fashioned way if I was 20 years younger but those days are long gone! I'll add up the ones I get done and let you decided if it's good enough!

    I figured out how to fit in the squats. When I needed to use the restroom at work today I just used the handicapped stall where there was plenty of space and a door, and I did one set before and one set after. Hahaha. Did that 4 times and I can officially say day 1 of squats is complete!

    That's a different and clever idea. Hey, whatever works, right?

    Absolutely! Whatever works!! My problem was that I have an assortment of workouts that I typically do after work, and it was hard to fit in this extra stuff, like squats, situps, etc. It worked beautifully. And if I can still use my legs tomorrow, I'll do the same tomorrow for day 2!!

    Last and week and this week I'm only doing this challenge and no other workouts. I learned from the first two weeks that it was hard to fit everything in, and it seemed like I wasn't losing weight when I was doing so much. I was surprised that the squats were easy for me, seeing as I haven't done them in forever. But with last week's 100 toe raises I did them all at the same time and I was so sore for at least five days.

But with last week's 100 toe raises I did them all at the same time and I was so sore for at least five days.

    I joined a challenge to do something every day for 2011! So far I'm good, I've worked out every day! But I'm working through C25K, and I have an assortment of DVD's that I do, and sometimes I just go for a walk with my husband. Since 3 days a week are tied up with C25K, and I also need to fit in some strength training/cardio using my dvd's, my evenings end up filled up pretty quick. Add in a walk or two, and it's hard to fit in extra stuff on multiple days during the week. I noticed that someone added up how many squats that would be total. I sort of like aiming for that number so that I can do a couple sets here and there and try adn hit that final number, rather than feeling like I need to find time to do 8 sets in one day.

    Those toe raises killed me!!!!

    The squats were easier to complete this time. The first set this morning was still the hardest. The last was the easiest, by far. I wonder if that's all in my perception? :laugh:

    I used your idea on the squats. I did two sets in the bathroom lol. And the other 6 sets I did like after I walked for a while and then when I was waiting for my lunch to cook.

    Definitely can't do the squats this week. I seem to have hurt my hamstring or something last night, and can't even walk properly now. Hopefully it's better by tomorrow, but squats are out for me this week.
