I'm going to thank my trainer and the years of fencing and figure skating, because I actually have a nice bit of strength on me (after 3 years of getting loving torture). I also just have a nice layer of fat hiding it all and back problems that can be crippling at times.
I found that making something a habit suddenly turns the 'I have to' to 'oooooo today I get to ...'. At the beginning I had to set appointments with myself and dragged my feet for my daily lunch time walk. Now... beware of ANYONE getting in the way of that walk.

So.....day 4 and 5 a miss except for sun salutations
(flying and sleeping). Tomorrow I'll get to be back on track. .
And wall sits .... Wow they look and sound easy but reality is quite different.1 -
@klove808 They're a nightmare. I always thought I'm pretty fit for being pretty overweight but any higher than 45seconds and I land flat on my *kitten*... It's pathetic

Hello!
Haven't been very post happy here, but I've been keeping up with those elements of the challenge that I'm doing.
Still pathetic with those wall sits (I get to about 50 seconds before landing flat on my *kitten* ) 0 -
@ladyreva78, yesterday I needed a distraction because I had to make up day 11 & complete day 12. I set my stopwatch & opened a Sodoku puzzle & went over each time! Gotta find what works!
I must say, between the work yesterday + the 100 lunges (each leg), I'm sore for the first time in a while! It feels sooo good!

Mmmm I'll have to try the distraction. I can easily do 1hour cardio now (up from 15 min a year ago) without noticing the time pass, but I can't seem to befriend those pesky wall sits. 1

1. Chest (presses and flyes)
2. Wall sit (2x 30 seconds
is that cheating to split it into 2...)
Plus: 12.5K steps... I was planning a rest day. Circumstances were a wee bit against me.
My trainer loves to make me do planks in all shapes and variations. It's good for the back... but it's also pure torture. His current favorite is reverse crunches (plank with feet on fitness ball, and you curl your legs up to your chest...) Tends to be rather amusing for everyone watching me...
I love this idea!1 -
My ultimate goal which is a challenge is to be as strong as a typical man my age (61) who does NOT work out. AND lose these last 18 lbs0

I love this idea! if it's the reverse crunches you're talking about, just be certain to not let your back drop/sag as that can cause quite a bit of pain and possible damage. But it's one hell of a good exercise for all core muscles

I'm convinced these 30 day challenges are AWESOME! I'm down two pounds this week! I'm hooked for life!
GO GET YOUR GOALS!1 -
Day 13 done.
I'm so sore from catching up on two days yesterday + doing lunges as part of another challenge, I kept having to talk to myself to get through it. I DID IT, sore & all!0
