6 week PUSH YOURSELF challenge, week 2

Only 60 minutes in today. 10 8oz glasses.

What do you mean "only?" 60 minutes is great and probably a whole more than a lot of other people! So great job!

Well im proud to say i have been getting decent water in this week and i made lemonade. lol but now im struggling with the exercise part i couldnt afford a gym membership this month so it makes everything alot harder ive been walking but even with being in my heart rate zone per hrm i dont feel the burn ,like at the gym but the biggest problem is strength training i dont know what to do without a gym


This weeks totals so far-

water- 25 cups cardio- 233 mins strength- 0 mins other- 45 mins total exercise- 278 mins

Fantastic on making lemonade Amber!!

I only became a member a a gym a month and a half ago! Before that I did it all at home! Do you have stairs anywhere close by? You could use stairs to run up and down or you could use one stair and do stair steps! Go up with the right foot, up with the left foot, down with the right foot, down with the left foot, and do it again and again changing your speed every few minutes! Every so often change which foot steps up first. While walking, stop, and do 10 jumping jacks, walk some more! Do this the entire walk and you are adding more cardio.

For strength, take 2 soup cans and do nice even square while curling the soup cans at the same time. Use something heavy to lift above your head, the straight in front of you, then straight down while you squat. You can do these kinds of things while watching TV. Stand with your feet together, do a half squat leaning back on your heels of your feet. Take your right leg and go out to the side with it and back together then do the same with your left. Do several reps of this. Hold onto something heavy and take your
right leg back into a lunge and then bring it up so you lift your knee in front of you! Do several reps with that leg and do the same
on the left side!

That is just a few things that I can offer you.

Holy Cow you all went into week 2 strong! Wow to all of you, just wow, great job! Sorry to just be getting on and getting things posted but I have been without internet for the last 7ish hours! Felt like life was over that I could NOT get on here and post my exercise or food. Phew, almost had a nervous break down over it, LOL, but we got it all back up and working and I am here getting it all documented.

Here are my Monday results: I have to say it was a beautiful day in Minot, ND for the first time in a LONG, LONG time and I really didn't want to be inside, so I did a lot today.

How is everyone else doing with 3 days left in this week 2?

Kind of took it easy today....I've had 6 knee/ankle surgeries due to sports injuries and some days my knees could provide the sound effects for Rice Krispies and today was one of those days. So I got the time in but backed off on the intensity quite a bit.

30 minutes elliptical
30 minutes walking
45 minutes circuit training

Well Jenn for taking it easy 105 minutes is not too darn bad! Good job!
