Good Morning Everyone! As most of you know Charger is on a well deserved vacation and I have offered to help keep the challenges up while he relaxes! So let’s get started and kick this fat out the door!!!

Today's Challenge is: Dumbbell Chest Fly’s

Let’s do 10 sets of 15. This is for a total of 150!

You can do them with any weight you want…hand weights, soup cans, bottles of water, or milk jugs.

You can break them up throughout the day or do them all at once…You have until midnight to get them done.

If you can't do 10 sets of 15, then do what you can. Remember to push yourself -- This is a challenge, so challenge your body!!! Report back when you are done and let us know how you did.

Make sure you stretch and have fun doing them.

Here is a video for anyone that needs to know how to do them:

    I am going to try this, but this is my first attempt at a mini challenge, so the full 10 sets might be hard :(

    edit: I cannot seem to find what to log this under on the strength training :/

    Go to exercises and pick strength training; then put in how many minutes you needed to complete the challenge. That will give you total number of calories burned. There is no specific dumbbell chest fly exercise in the database. Thanks!

    WOW! 18 sets of 15, very impressive! I didn't do that, but I did do 5 sets of 30, almost continually. On to tomorrow!

    I did 5 sets of 15 with 5 lb weights. I planned to finish the other half in the evening, but my hubby called from overseas and I went to bed after and completely forgot about the rest! Oops!
