    5. Helps your running

    You lot are hardcore, i dont have the time nevermind energy to fit in all this! Between full time work and full time study i try and fit my workouts in before work in the morning! Maybe i was kidding myself into thinking i could do this when i first joined the group! 8-|

    I didnt even get near the amount targeted...... and feel a little ashamed to be considered in the same group of all of you!

    Clairabell!!!! You can do it!!! Don't get discouraged! Every little bit that you do helps!!

    I did half of the exercise on my lunch break today. I'll have to finish it tonight. I'm sorry if that is cheating... I was pressed for time today. Just to be clear, Is it 80 total of each that we should do? Thanks!

    I did my challenge yesterday. I held a plank for 1 minute. Is that a good time?? Has anyone else tried it? If so, would you mind sharing your time? It was really difficult for me to stay for that long. I want to improve my time this week.

    Yes I've done it! I try to do at least a minute then hold it till I fall and not time the rest. I want to get up to at least 2 minutes. I've done it before but thats was when I was doing planks more often! You can try side planks as well I find those harder to stay balance but you can definatly feel them! :happy:

    I have been a bad girl this week! :( I only did the challenge Tuesday and Thursday. I also did some late night snacking the past two days! I'm going camping with a group of friends this weekend, and I don't know how I'll be able to work the challenge in, and I don't know how I'm going to be good with food. I'll try, but it's going to be hard!! Hope everyone else is having a better week! :P
