    Yesterday's LBD, 3 sets completed.
    Yesterday's FW, 3 sets completed.
    Today's LBD, 3 sets completed.
    Today's FW 3 sets completed.

    Burpee are not my friends. I shattered my ankle 2 years ago doing one of those mud run courses and so fortunately my physical therapist son has given me a modified version that works for my unyielding ankle. Thank God for little boys!!!

    Day 2, 3 sets LBD & FW completed.

    If you are doing both challenges and multiple sets group then together instead of completing one and going to another - that way you are doing the free weights with an elevated heart rate from the LBD exercises. So today would be jumping jacks, burpees, high knees, & overhead presses then repeat. I took a 1 min. rest break between each set.

    And OMG I forgot how much I hate burpees!!!!!

    This is what I did too and I think it makes it easier!

    PS-I can't decide if I hate burpees or mountain climbers more.

    @hannahhooter no contest I'd do mountain climbers everyday over burpees, although I read an article recently that said doing a few jumps every day is one of the best things you can do for your health so that's what I focus on to get through the burpees.

    So I decided to add some motivation to THIS thread for Motivation Monday, considering our hatred of Mountain Climbers, Burpees , (and today Lunges) has been an ongoing topic in our monthly challenges. It will be worth it! ( I hope )

    Day 3...3sets of both...✔️

    Okay, since @Mjtckwnow was such a help in getting me all the information to do this LBD challenge, I went ahead and did it. I am only doing one set of each, but I am at least doing something. Thank you all for the help.
