30/30/30 CHALLENGE

Steph, I can't believe i!! My husband actually commented on how good my legs look in my shorts. Not just a generic compliment either. He said that my legs look really toned and you can start to see definition. He says that all those zumba classes and personal training sessions are paying off! I was stoked!!

Congrats on the wonderful compliment from your husband Leela!! That's gotta feel so good! Your hard work is paying off in wonderful ways! :drinker:

OH! I did my 30's today! 5 real push ups (what happened?!?!) up to 15 knees, 15 squats, 15 knee push ups, 30 bicycle crunches. Zumba and the Shred are really working my arms. I'm taking tomorrow "off" from the Shred, and other workouts, but I'm still gonna do my 30!

Thursday- Day 4: done!
I actually did 40 squats instead of 30! I have to change my lunges to sit ups because the lunges and jump squats are too hard on my knees. Got in 30 push ups too. Trying to work my way up to "real" push ups instead of girlie ones. But the girlie ones are tough, esp the last 5 or 6. I'm trying to do all the movements at one time instead of breaking it up like 15 in the morning and 15 in the afternoon. I think it is more effective that way.
It's been a little quiet around here lately. Everyone keeping up with their challenges?

Oh no, it got quiet again! :noway:

I hear ya with the last few push ups! :drinker: Feel the burn! I do them all at once too, even if I have to take a tiny break and do a different move for a few reps. I enjoy my little 20 calorie burn. :laugh:

If you have to take a tiny break, make sure you take it in the "up" position, then it turns into a plank and who wants to stay in that position longer than necessary? lol

It's very quiet! :grumble:

I did 30 lunges, 30 squats and 30 hammer curls the day before yesterday:)
Yesterday I did 30 squats, 30 lunges and 30 situps.
Today I'm going to do 30 full sit ups, 30 oblique twists and 30 sumo squats!

:drinker: to those that are sticking with it! We're almost half way there :bigsmile:

sumo squats are killer. if you have been doing them for 13 days I'm sure you're really feeling it! Today is only my day 5, but I am going to do it for 30 days even if this thread finishes before me. It's just I want to finish what I started, even if its on my own!

:laugh: Exactly right!

:drinker: to those that are sticking with it! We're almost half way there :bigsmile:

Good job Nikki! YAY!! I kind of want to keep doing something like this afterward. LOL! Like until I can do 30 push ups in a row! That would be amazing!

Nice work BeckyJill!

I did mine yesterday with 8 real push ups.

Today: 10 real push ups!!! I've started tracking my progress with them, cause it just makes me laugh and smile. :happy:

Didn't work out at all yesterday body needed a break! Back in it today.

Excellent! Welcome back to your 30's!!

10 real push ups! I always get so close to the 11th, but pop down to my knees. I think it's fear. :laugh:

Only 7 push ups today, but I did my 30's!!

Love this idea!! I just posted and invited my friends to join me!

Awesome! I hope they as committed as Leela when I convinced her to join. :bigsmile: Everyone else seemed to disappear on us... :frown:

Awesome boost Leela!! Good thing you've got someone watching! :glasses: (<--- he's secretly watching you, undercover) I always feel like I COULD maybe pick it up again and try more, but then I think... Why? They won't count toward my total in a row? Horrible thinking, right? I'm terrible. Man... :laugh:

I like starting with push ups cause they make me warm (but not fuzzy). :laugh: I did mine yesterday and got 8 real push ups. Then, during the Shred, I thought about you Leela, and did about 3 more (all I could do after the first round) with the rest on knees (as usual). :bigsmile:

Monday: Day 6
Tuesday: Day 7
Wednesday: Day 7
I'm taking the day off today, it would have been by day 8. I'm just so sore from training yesterday and I have zumba tonight. I will try to get in the abs and the squats, but the push ups are definitely out of the question the way I'm feeling this morning.

I'm the first person to sign on today, what's up with that? I just did my 30's ! I hope everyone stays motivated and focused throughout the weekend.

I'm still in it! Just haven't been posting . We're almost done!
