    Hi, my name is Belinda and I really need that toning(especially arms). The biggest problem I see is the push ups. I have arthritis really bad in right shoulder and push-up just about kill me, but I will just pace them out through tthe day. Now have to get started on those squats for today!!! 8 lbs to go for goal and they will probably be the hardest to conquoer!!!!

    Beth's Angels Toning Group: Today we do a new exercise: 50 reverse crunches which will work your lower abs (the pouch for those of us who have had children). If you don't know what a reverse crunch is I would recommend looking it up on either youtube or google - it is hard to explain in words. It is a great exercise though and something new. Check in when completed!!

    Welcome all newcomers - the more the merrier. As for the water on Saturdays (which I am really bad about I will be honest) is atleast 8 glasses. If you aren't a friend of mine already, don't hesitate to friend me so you can also see the posts on my wall.

    If you can't do push-ups, I'm sure it would be just fine if you found an exercise you can do that works the same muscle group. Like today, I can't do a reverse crunch to save my life but I found a way to do it that worked the same muscle group but was an exercise I could handle. Don't do something that's going to hurt you!

    Some do push-ups against the wall so you don't put as much stress on your arms/wrists. It all works the same. I will tell you I can only do about 5 real ones then I do the rest girlie ones (on my knees). Plus, it is ok to break them up in to groups (like groups of 10). Whatever works for you is fine.

    My reverse crunches are complete - my lower abs are a little sore but I like it.

    My reverse Crunches are complete not really sure that I did them correctly, but will keep at it. There was a good video on You Tube demonstrated the exercise.

    Beth's Angels Toning Group: Today's mission is 50 push-ups done any way you can (real ones, girlie ones - on the knees, against the wall, etc). Just as long as you completed them. You can even break them up into sections if that works for you. Check in when completed!!

    Hi, my name is Amy. I'm a SAHM and have 2 boys. I'd love to join this group, as I am horrible about doing toning exercises on my own. I am 20 lbs. from goal weight, and I really need to tone up this skin!

    I just completed 50 push ups (against the wall).

    Thanks for this group!

    I'm in! My name is Lynda. I'm 26 and am working towards losing 76lbs. I've lost 36 so far. Once I hit my current goal weight of 185 (this is when my BMI will shift from obese to overweight) I will reasses and decide how much further I want to go. I'm thinking the end goal will be around 140, but honestly, I started at 261, I'm at 225 right now and it is just too hard for me to comprehend that level of loss. So I'm taking it one step at a time. I'm super excited to be a part of this toning challenge!
