Ok, here is a little about me.

I am 27yrs old. I live in Arizona. I have a boyfriend that I have been with for 5yrs and two crazy bloodhounds. I was never over weight until about 6yrs ago. It took me 6 months to gain 40lbs and it has taken about 5yrs to start to lose it. I am super excited about MFP and all the amazing people that help me daily to stay focused. I am also stoked about our team because I think we have a great group of people. Here is to our team and winning this thing!!

What is an up and down exercise?

I will send you the link that Gary sent me to demonstrate these.

Here is the link to explain what the Up Down Exercise is:
