    Okay my lovies.. So proud of everyone who stuck to the Challenge this week Woot.. Woot...

    Okay I had a lil friend or should I say a Big Strong friend help me out with this weeks challenge workout exercises.. Are y'all ready for this.. I hope so!!!!


    2mins of Jumprope

    60second planks with leg raises:

    Single Leg Plank Raise
    1. Start by forming a straight plank with your forearms and feet as the contact points on the ground.
    2. Once the plank is formed raise one foot off the ground and then return to the starting position.
    3. Repeat this movement for the desired repetitions alternating back and forth between legs

    10 pullups.

    75 V-Up
    1) Start position: Lie back onto floor or bench with knees bent and hands extended towards ceiling. Head should be in a neutral position with a space between chin and chest.
    2) Leading with the chin and chest towards the ceiling, contract the abdominal and raise shoulders off floor or bench. Also raise legs up towards ceiling and attempt to touch your hands to your feet.
    3) Return to start position.

    Enjoy this starts Monday July 25-29 "Good luck"

    How much of a pull-up is considered enough?
    Head above the bar
    Eyes/nose above the bar
    Arm muscles tensed and up on my toes.....?

    I'm serious here-I haven't done pull-ups in years and I'm not sure how well I'll be able to, so I need to know what to strive for.

    I'm in! -- Why not? I'm going to do it simply because I dont want to, it sounds hard and it scares me. Okay really, its the jumping jacks that scare me. LMAO

    Hey sweetie.. just do the best you can do honey... Challenge yourself a lil further each day.. I have not did pullups in years and I tried out this challenge before posting it and I barely got 8 of them... but so proud of you for giving it a try.. ;)

    Okay. I don't see anywhere in the house I can do them easily so I'll run across the street to the school playground. Just listen for children laughing hysterically in the direction of Iowa and you'll know I'm out there. :):) If I can't manage full pull-ups I'd do a few rounds on the monkey bars instead. I think it's the same muscle groups.

    Keep up these challenges-I wasn't sure I could do the first week but I did and amazed myself.
