    I am down for this week's challenge. I know I can work to do the push ups. The 3 mile walk/run is for the whole week (not per day)?

    Correct - 3 for the whole week.

    Anyone else sore from the push-ups??? I can't move my arms today but I've still pushed through 20 this morning :bigsmile: Just a question....can a Zumba class count towards my 3 miles for the week? I wear a HRM so I should be able to work out how many miles (or in my case kilometers!) I've done?

    Oh my, my shoulders are soooo sore. I will make the 60 a day though, I WILL! Doesn't help that I do pushups already in 30DS, lmao.

    Definitely sore from the push ups yesterday but I did my 60 for today in about 8 minutes. I did have to rest. Whew.

    I'm not looking forward to doing those pushups AND my 30DS...

    I am sooo soooorrreeeee from the pushups! I guess now I can tell where I need to work! LOL!!

    The running is not the issue for me... I run about 8-12 miles per week. But man. pushups are KILLER!! lol

    LOL - I thought we were running 3 miles per day! Cumulative for the week though - what a relief! :) I was gonna gamely try it though... and might still!

    I've jogged 1/4 mile so far, just doing intervals on a treadmill. I haven't tried to run in ... 10 years! Woohoo! :)

    2.25 miles total so far
    60 pushups so far (with exercise ball...)

    I am in! I didn't get a chance to work super hard for September. I got really sick and then swamped with classwork because I missed a couple classes. I want to loose more than 2lbs this month! lol!!

    Good luck everyone!

    Got in 3/4 mile walk and about 40 push ups today. The pushups hurt my knees more than my arms since I have to do incline push ups. I will definately get the 60 in tomorrow. I am also aiming for at least a 1/2 mile walk everyday.

    Those push-ups are really something else! I really feel like I'm in a bootcamp. By the time I'm finished with this challenge, I will surely feel like an athlete! I can only do mine on my knees...but it's definitely a workout!

    Hi, I saw your comment about the 30DS. I got it a while back but never really worked it. How is it supposed to work? Do we do 10 days of level 1, 10 days of level 2, and 10 days of level 3?

    I did my pushups....UGH! I need to build up my arms! I jogged for 2.2 miles (and then collapsed!), and walked 1 mile. I was a lil short of goal in September, so I hope October I kick it up a notch!

    Good luck everyone! Anyone feel free to send me a friend request. :)
    Happy Monday everyone!

    Alright, so, I missed the plan for the first couple of days, so I'm hoping to do 90 pushups a day for the 360 a week, and run/walk at least a mile each day. I really need to work on the water though...oofda! I'm lucky if I get 32 oz in a day...:ohwell:

    Push up every day or every other day? I thought we only can do weight lifting every other day so the muscle has time to recover.

    I returned to a scale that said I was 7lbs heavier though! eeek! - Im hoping most in water weight

    However, I still want to lose that 7lbs as quick as possible so I can get down to my goal :)

    Correct - 3 for the whole week.

    I know, I surprised myself and completed 3 miles the first day. So, I extended my goal. You got it started, but I don't want to stop just yet. Energized.

    I am at 7.2 miles so far but only 10 push-ups. I don't think I will meet my push-ups goal :( My arms are so weak but I will try my best.

    I was out of town over the weekend...so I didn't get started until today! 2.5 miles are in and the 60 push-ups well let's just say that is going to take some time!
