WOODCHOPS
Please make sure when doing the woodchops that you are Squatting down and not bending over. This can cause undue strain on the lower back and has the potential to harm your lower back. Your back should be straight at all times and squatting down face forward great posture!0 -
Water = Check
Under calories = FAILED
Squat Kicks = 100 (day 2 and day 5)
21's = Check (day 4)
Swimmer Presses = Check (day 4)
Extra crunches = Check (52)
I had to move around some of the exercises today because I will not be at home enough to get in the global jumps and tuck jumps. I am going to make myself stay up late enough after the ballgame (minor league, surprising my son) to get in the extra crunches then I will pass out
I plan on starting tomorrow with the tuck jumps or the global jumps.... maybe both!?0 -
FYI we had an earthquake...
Today will be my day of rest! To say the least!
CRAZY!!! :noway:0 -

I dont remember if I checked off on Monday or not, but I did everything! And everything for today as well. Sorry not as detailed as usual, but I started back to school myself yesterday and I'm already a little overwhelmed. But I am making the time for the exercises and I'm doing my best to at least let you know I hit my goals for the day.0

Sorry, didn't do anything today. I did stay under calories and drink my water, but I had a crazy busy day and didn't have the chance to do any exercise. I am going to have some serious catching up to do later in the week. Good news is that I have a bike ride scheduled with a friend tomorrow evening, so I should be able to rack up some miles.

I wasn't very good at these either... only four before I thought "this can't be me doing them right". Let me know what I can do in place of them.
