    Since everyone is at different levels we want to start somewhere in the middle.

    So first we need to make sure everyone is drinking water, so the challenge
    is to start with 5 glasses a day and work our way up.

    We also need to be exercising.
    So let's challenge that everyone does 10 minutes of activity a day. Simple marching or jogging
    on the spot. Up and down the stairs for 10 minutes. Even the wii gets us moving if you have one.
    While I'm waiting for the kid's bus I do step ups on the curb..:smile:

    If anyone else has ideas for quick 10 minute exercises please post!

    Hi there,

    My water intake is my problem, I have been exercising way more than I'm suppose to. My family and I have discovered the Wii Fit and we try to top each others scores every day. It's a blast and before you know it you have been working out for an hour.

    So today I have had one glass of water and I'll try to get seven more in there.

    :drinker: :happy: :drinker: :happy:

    I have just started on myfitnesspal a few days ago. This sounds challenging. Could I get involved or is it to late?

    Actually, you probably don't have to try too hard to get all your water in before me :blushing:
    I was just looking at the time of my post and it said something like 8:05 in the morning!!! :noway:
    I'm living in England now and I posted that message around lunch time :bigsmile:
    Because of the time difference it just looks like I'm up and on the go super early :laugh:

    I have heard of these before...but never tried them. Maybe as a team we can work on it. How about a 2-3 day challenge of sit ups, jumping jacks, or whatever?? What is everyones take??
