  • I agree with other posters. There should be a beginners version of the exercises. Even Chalean provides a modified version of up&downs.


    I'm working on a 2nd round of C25K. I will commit to an extra 12 miles over and above my C25K routine.

  • Ok let me try to catch up here lol

    1. The 100 miles needs to be done Monday - Saturday of next week. You dont need to pledge them, but everyday you book miles make sure you post it so we know where were standing.

    2. Yaya - You are capable of a lot more than you give yourself credit for. Emma is right, you were just as nervous last week and then you got all crazy on us with your "CHALLENGE ME!! -- I Ain't Skeerd!" attitude lol. You can do this :-)

    3. As a lot of you are interested in alternates, im going to suggest to Gary that he automatically add them to the weekly exercises. In the meantime, I will find alternates for you today or tomorrow at the latest.

    We got this!!!!!

    Also, please dont forget to post your current weight by tomorrow so I can calcuate % lost for the week. Thank you!

    You're right, I did get all "I can't do this" in the beginning of Week 1 but, like I said earlier, that was when I thought we had to do ALL the exercises EVERY DAY! Once I realized we didn't I was okay with everything, but did need some alternatives for the ups/downs, etc. There needs to be alternatives for beginners such as myself. I need something to replace the mountain climbers, the globe jumps, and the stair climbs (no stairs). Pls. don't get me wrong, I'm committed to doing my best, but some of these exercises are way beyond my capabilities at this point--I'm a beginner. I'll be more than happy to do whatever is within my capabilities and then some, but I can't be expected to run a marathon when I can't run 1 mile.

  • 8/1 - Completed exercise and food challenge.
    Drank at least 9 glasses of water today; had to make up for some excess sodium.

    8/2 - Sorry guys, couldn't get the +1 mile; tendonitis has me sitting around. Calories shouldn't be a problem though. :D

    8/3 & 8/4 - Didn't get a chance to post last night; crappy dinner (nutrition wise, both days) but I was under my calories and managed to get the challenges done for both days; always drink 8+ glasses of water so that part wasn't a problem on either day.
    8/5 - Completed exercise and food challenge.
    8/6 - Completed exercise and food challenge.

    Aug 8 -- [Exercise Challenge - 50 Squat Kicks]
    Aug 9-- [Exercise Challenge – 50 Swimmer’s Presses + 1 Extra Mile jog, walk,run]
    Aug 10--[Exercise Challenge – 50 Situps or Ab Crunches* + 50 Mountain Climbers]
    Aug 11--[Exercise Challenge – 3 sets of 21’s + 100 Jumping Jacks]
    Aug 12--[Exercise Challenge – 50 Globe jumps + 100 Jumping Jacks + 100 Stair Climbs (jog or run)]
    Aug 13--[Exercise Challenge – 40 Shoulder Presses + 1 extra mile + 50 crunches]
    Aug 14--[Exercise Challenge --Rest! You deserve it!]

    I set these up for me so that I can cut and paste when reporting next week-- it will be easier to track. Also I am assuming we are to continue with food and water challenges?

    Also I thought I saw something about a nutritous recipe...I can supply that if it is needed. I'm passionate about people eating their veggies (must be the mom in me...) I'd like to throw out a challenge to all to get at least 2 servings of veggies at dinner this week!!! (High sugar veggies like potatoes, carrots, peas and squashes would be 1/2 cup and most others would be 1 cup... iceburg lettuce does not count as it has next to zero nutritional value!!!!

    I can do 1.25 miles every day this week (Mon to Saturday...) then on the days above that it says to do the extra I will still do that.

    Blessings to all this week!
