Good morning everyone. Today is day 1 of the burpee, pushup, situp challenge. Let's get started with our first 5 of each.

I am proud off all of you who accepted this challenge. Remember this is about creating positive habits. It doesn't matter how you get it done as long as you do.

You've got this.

In case you need a reminder of the challenge. We start today with 5 burpees, 5 pushups, and 5 situps. Then we add 5 more of each every day until the end of the month. By September 30th you should be doing 150 of each.

    If you really don't have 15 minutes to spare at some point in your day then do what you have to do.

    I had to ask my teenaged daughter how to do a burpee and I am NOT good at that! I also am not good at sit ups or push ups. Why am I doing this again? I may have to spread this out over the entire day once the numbers get bigger. With that said....day one is done!

    I'm in and day 1 is done. I will have to break up the number as it gets towards the end but it will be worth it :)

    Day 1 - 5,5,5. The burpees are no problem. The situps and pushups are going to be my struggle point

    I started early because I will be on a grueling travel schedule in two weeks. I would look silly doing these at the airport. Though I did see a guy sing for like 20 minutes at a United gate recently. It was funny,

    I am at 25 each. It is tough but fun. The problem is that it is starting to take up too much time. For now it is okay, but I see the time really increasing after 40. I hope to find the time. The burpees are fine. The sit-ups okay. I think the push-ups are hardest. ❤️ Thanks for inspiring us RMac0001.

    I think by the end of the month it will have to be broken down into 3x a day. 150 of anything is a lot!

    I skipped yesterday due to my equipment fiasco, but I am back on today. 25 of each today. Sit-ups took the longest, and my push-ups are seriously weak, but I am not modifying, and I think that the push-ups will improve with time.
