Have you checked out the week 1 challenge of 8 minutes / day ? No matter how busy you are, betcha can do this!

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10729290/raise-the-bar-8-minutes-7-days-strength-challenge-by-team-trimstone#latest

Thanks, Team Trimstone!

Just checked this out .... If I tried the 10 push-ups, it would probably take MORE than 8 minutes what with recovery inbetween each one. (squats were never an issue for me either as body-weight or with light hand-weights - same with jumping jacks. Very strong legs and lungs. Arms on the other hand ..... ) LOL.

I can try the Dumbbell one ... starting with 5 lbs per hand and maybe graduating to 10s (max available at home would be 15)

I saw @mari_moulin on the linked thread. Anyone else from here going to try it?

I'm back on spreadsheet duty - it's great having a bit of time on my hands

If you are back on spreadsheet duty .... @Perla4686 wants to change her weigh in day to Wednesdays, and @treebek wants to change hers from Sunday to Saturday. I haven't tried switching them within the list because I am not sure what that might do to formulas.

I will go back to being First Officer again.

The day changes are done - all ok for @Perla4686 and @treebek!

And you are certainly not first officer - co-captains of equal and differing fabulous talents, eh? Coupla Canadians keeping everyone cool...

I will be trying some of the strength training for 8 minutes. I may try the kettleball. It’s been awhile since I’ve used it. A lot of my work lately has been more cardio and legs.

For March, the Step Challenge will only be within this team. More than enough of you find it motivating on an ongoing basis.

I am posting a list of 1 - 10 ... please put your name beside a number if you want to participate. I am not auto-rolling names over, in case you want to pause for a month and concentrate on something else. @jugar is out of town, and I won't be adding my name this time.

So if you were on last month's step challenge and want to keep at it, PLEASE ADD YOUR NAME The first thee people have already specifically asked about it.

1. @Blackbeautysue
2. @sue_01
3. @micki48
4. @Astrue
5. @leni1us

If all 10 slots are taken, you can STILL add your name below. There is no cap on the time size anymore.

oops. guess I am really behind the times!!!

I had heard of Leslie Sansone's Walking Workouts, and maybe even seen a dvd or two in a store from time to time.

On the weekend, I bought what I THOUGHT was a second-hand digital pedometer at the thrift store (with her branding on it) But on closer inspection, I discovered that this seems to be more like the vehicle for her Digital Downloadable products.

With warmer weather possibly showing up by the end of NEXT month .... something that gets me burning my calories OUTSIDE for a change would expand my (anticipated) maintenance activity options. And I would respond better to audio-guided walking and music at a suitably brisk pace better in terms of frequency and actually getting out and DOING it than "just ... briskly(?) ... walking" much the same routes around my house over and over.

I am not very into personal device type digital-anything content or apps (don't even own a "dumbphone" personal cell) and I have no current experience with any of Leslie Sansone's programs.

This appears to have come pre-loaded with:

• energy boosting walk.amv
• five-hundred step walk.amv
• health booster walk.amv

Is anyone is familiar with her style and material? I saw on her website that there is a raft of other digital downloads available for sale as well.

Talk It Out Tuesday Need to vent? Something puzzling you? Have a question?

Let it loose. See what the combined knowledge and varied experiences of Team WaistAways can come up with to support and strategize.

(Which translates as "respond to others' posts")

I'm curious for those who have lost weight what did you do with your old bigger clothes. Did you let them go or hold on to them in case the weight crept back on?
