I posted an idea for the week no one really responded to it though so I'll ask one more time. I thought a back to basics work out wold be great. The old school stuff: jumping jacks, push-ups,lunges/squats,crunches and maybe some jump roping if anyone wants. I never so these things because all the equipment I use. I figure start off with however many you can do then add 5 each day or however you want to do it. For the people that need to take it easy just do a few or what ever you can for the people that want it a little bit harder up it the 5 or 10 if your willing? What do you all think? I think it's a good challenge for exercise.

    I did a whole bunch of them yesterday. I didnt do any today because I went to step class for an hour and then came home and did 30 day shred. Tomorrow I will definately have to do them. It is snowing here and usually if it snows the bus wont come up to my house and I dont drive if the roads are bad which means I will probably have all my kids home tomorrow

    I think it's great getting responses to the challenge. I live in MN and it's crappy here so this challenge requires nothing but you. I love that! I want to thank you guys for the support of this challenge and tell you all great job on the first week if it wasn't for being on a team with you all I probably wouldn't of lost my 2 lbs.

    I did all of it except the Jump Rope...but I added in 10 minutes up and down the stairs so I figured that offset the Jump Rope. I did 10 each - Lunges, Squats, Jumping Jacks, push ups, and 20 crunches

    It's a start. I hope to add 5 to each today-my mini goal for today!

    Hey Aprilann. My intentions were great yesterday and today, but have been completely exhausted. I will be back on the wagon later tonight or first thing tomorrow. Hope all is well!

    You know I actually did all of these in the 30 day shred today well almost all of them. Not really lunges but they were sort of like lunges with weights. I did 20 pushups and I dont know how many jumping jacks but enough of them and not really jumping rope because I dont have one but I did it with an imaginary one.

    Good for you! Imaginary that's good LOL :laugh: I could do only 10 but I did them on my knees I could barely do 1 the regular way. So I give you huge props! I did some sit-ups on my big ball. They were hard like that.

    I'm up for the jumping jacks. I start with 5 and add 5 each day until I get to 50.
    Thanks for the challenge. Sometimes good ideas get lost in the threads.
