    Day 3
    2 minutes walking
    1 minute stepping forward then stepping backwards with legs wider and out to the side
    1 minute legs apart stepping tapping and twist body as you tap for waist workout
    1 minute knees up and arms reaching up elbows to knees as the come up( hope this makes sense)

    These may get a bit boring so add any you think might be better but at least it gets us moving well that was my hope doing it to music is good and I was keeping it short it you could do longer ones if you want.

    I am getting better at drinking more water finally

    Hope your both keeping.h on track.

    Thanks again Ann. When I have to walk in the house it is so boring, but these routines make it more fun.

    Day 4
    2 minutes walking
    1 minute punching to left and right twist body and leg and tap toe as you twist.
    1 minute stepping 2 steps left and then 2 steps right clap hands as after the 2 steps and tap toe.
    1 minute dancing

    Remember you can increase the minutes if you want, I kept them at 5 minutes total but you can do more if you feel like it.

    I plan to eat strawberries, orange and a pear today.

    Have a good day!

    Never mind you can always do a bit more tomorrow to make up for it.

    Getting better. In the middle of a course of steroids, so not about to get back on board til that is ove and I can exercise again. Still very congested and slight fever but definitely on the mend.
    Ann, your walking plans were so much fun and easy to do. Thank you so much. I hope you keep challenging us. The fruit reminders are so helpful.

    Veggies are easy for me. What is hard is NOT eating cookies. :D
    Thank for the challenges, Ann. You are lighting a fire under me.
    Cat, hoping for your continued improvement.
