    Sorry to hear that Pooh :frown: hope you get well soon :flowerforyou:
    Congrats Windedhl!! WOOHOO! xx

    I will tell you one thing that I have learnt whilst doing this August challenge - to appreciate strength training! Todays cardio killied me and I thought I was the cardio master! P-PHEW!
    200 jumping jacks completed (in sets of 100 :grumble: )
    100 EVIL mountain climbers completed
    and 30 lunges done because I forgot how many lol!!

    Also 200 crunches done today, bringing my weekly total to 500!! WHOOP WHOOP half way there to my extra 10 points :bigsmile:

    On a downside, I think all this additional exercise has made my muscles swell or retain water or sumfin because my scale wont move :mad:

    SCC88 ~ That isn't uncommon when new workout are started. It's temporary!

    arg....have I mentioned I detest situps?

    You may have mentioned it in passing...

    BTW did you get the results from your tests?

    Yes, I got the results last week when I went to get the stitches out. I have a rare autoimmune disease called linear/deep morphea. Still trying to read and research and wrap my head around it. Thanks for remembering :)

    Joyous, thanks for the alternates, I did better with the lowers and the obliques but you were right, those will work you out! I actually think I like those...believe it or not. Regular situps always hurt my neck even when I do them with correct form so those were much better.

    I finished the last of a medicine that had me on Saturday and I think I experienced major rebound yesterday from not taking it. I feel much better today and hopefully that will be the end of that!

    I got all my exercises in for today but I did a modified mountain climber. My arm will not hold up to those well. This is what I did Joyous, I hope that's ok. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvMY-wklqr4 I got my water in, still working on my diary, but it will be fine.

    I ended up with 25 situps yesterday and with Joyous's modified versions, got in 75 more today! Yay!

    Hi Ladies. Sorry to hear about all the sickies. :frown:

    I am exhausted day 2. Putting a classroom back together is tough work!! I bet I burned 1,000 cals again today.

    3 checks for me today and 150 more crunches! 100 upper 50 lower. I'm sore all over tonight from the extra challenges and all the moving things and unpacking.

    Hopefully tomorrow will be better for the muscles!

    Love to you all!

    Angel

    Thank you for sharing. It sounds like something that may be managable with not too many flare ups hopefully?

    all good for my exercises so far this week, well as of wednesday anyway. so far i've done an additional 600 crunches. 500 of them were from tonight. unsypathetic boyfriends can be a great motivator for extra exercise.

    Pooh~ Wow. That is pretty intense. I hope things work out for you. Is there anyway to treat it? No problem with providing variations. I know I couldn't do a ton of regular crunches. I get too bored plus I absolutely love the twist ones. Also, I don't see any problem with your mountain climber modification.

    Windedhl~ Good job on the crunches. I'm sorry about the unsupportive boyfriend.

    sbanth and Stephanie08~You are both doing great!

    So, tomorrow after work, I am flying out west for a vacation in the Grand Canyon till late Wednesday. I intend to do the exercises while I'm gone but, while I will have some internet via my phone, I'm not sure how much and will be unable to update the spreadsheet for Gary or track ya'll. Would you rather have someone else take over the spreadsheet when I'm gone or just send me your exercise performance and weight so I can update it when I get back? It may be easier to just have me do it when I get back because th spreedsheet is some what confusing but it is up to you.

    Order doesn't matter as long as you do them. I'm probably going to do two workouts today since I'm not sure I'll get the chance Saturday.

    No cure, but they can treat the symptoms. And Steph you are right, it goes into remission and has flare ups. They just treat the flare ups to try and get you back in remission, so hopefully...no major flares!

    I'm good with you just catching up when you get back Joyous and us just continuing to update for when you get back. What about getting the next week's schedule? You want one of us to go get it off another teams page when it's published?
