I am so proud of all of us!!! SO... let's bring it up a notch!!!

Week 3
1. 5 mile challenge. Do 5 miles of something… Hiking, walking, biking, elliptical, swimming. You can break it up if need be.
2. ALL Green numbers for the week!
3. Squat, squat, squat… do 75+ a day! We will have buns of steel!!!
4. Find a member of the group and reach out. You never know how bad things are and just 1 kind word can make all the difference.
5. Arm Curls. 20+ a day! Just hold soup cans if you don’t have weights. Arms at your sides, palms up, slowly bend elbow, and bring your hands up to your shoulders. I’m not a good explainer, so here’s a video, if you need it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PICcFhbKdAQ
6. Jumping Jacks or jog in place for 5 minutes a day!
7. Planks: 1-2 minutes a day! Get into push up position. Drop on your elbows palms on the floor. Hold it till you can’t no more!
8. Abs, Abs, Abs!!! Try to do something every day for those Abs! Sorry, I don’t have an example for you besides those stinking crunches…

5 miles might be a cake walk to some, but to others, 5 miles is a lot. If 5 miles is too easy for you, then push for 10, 20, 30!!! Oh the 5 miles are for the week, not each day. But if you want to do 5 a day go for it!!!

IF you are under calories, but over on sugar, or fat. Try to keep everything under. Watch that hidden salt!

From what I have read squats are the best for the legs and butt. Let’s get them done. You can do them in small amounts or all at once. If you are afraid of someone seeing you, or not enough time… here’s what I do… While I’m at work, I go to the potty as usual. Afterwards I do 10-15 squats, before leaving. Door is closed; no one knows what I’m doing. Hee hee!

Some of us lose our motivation for whatever reason. Sometimes we need a kick in the *kitten* but keep our troubles to ourselves. So, let’s show each other some love! A few nice words can mean everything when we least expect it. I love getting a surprise message from my friends here. Let’s pay it forward!

Arm curls, you can do 1 arm at a time or both. You can break them up if need be.
For the squats and arm curls, I added the + for the more fit people on here. You do not have to do more than the 75, and 20. I just feel that some people work out more and 75, and 20 maybe a cake walk for some of you all. I didn’t want to make it too hard for the beginners, and too easy for the old timers.

Your choice. Do jumping jacks or jog in place, or do both! For me jumping jacks….. um irritate my bladder, so I do the arm part, and jog my legs. I know, I am a cheater, but unless I wear… a pad, (sorry to much info for the guys), you get my drift. My friend can’t do jumping jacks, her boobs are too big and they hurt her. What I do is do them while something is cooking in the microwave. You got a timer, and something to do while you are cooking! PLUS you are boosting your metabolism right before you eat!

Sorry if it seems like I piled on the challenges this week. But some can be done a few times and that’s it. So, I thought everyone needed something extra this week!
