daily challenges

Options
Hey everybody! I want to start daily challenges to all of us in the "5'6 with 40 to lose" just something to help boost the losing through the rest of this year! If we all pick a daily challenge, maybe two: ) we will start seeing fantastic rewards. It feels so great to be losing throught this time of year.

OK.. Here goes. I challenge all of you to do 20 minutes of hard cardio and 50 stomach crunches.


feel free to raise the bar. I just set somehting that I have been having a lot of trouble motivating myself to do lately!

    So this is our challenge for the day? Game On!

    So who gets to pick tomorrow's challenge, and do we just report back here to let everyone know when we are done with each day's challenge?

    Great idea (but don't make these too hard - there are some "old fogies" out here : )

    I'm in! I did 20 mins of 'hard' cardio this morning but I have to skip the crunches. Still healing from a c-section and don't want to push the abs.

    Alright, I'm in. I did my 30 minutes of cardio this morning. I will get those crunches in this afternoon. Honestly it has been awhile since I have attempted crunches.

    I just found this thread, but I actually have completed the challenge for the day: I have done 40 min of Insanity and did 70 crunches today, so happy :-)

    I completed the challenge. Did my normal jog/run around the block and did the crunches (ouch) but got to get ready for Jillian Michaels (right?) because she isn't messing around.

    bodyweight squats! Do 10 anytime you have a free moment, the space, and you won't be too embarrassed.

    Ok, can somebody tell me what "body weight squats" are?

    squats without holding any weights. if you youtube something called an "air squat" (I think that's what crossfit calls them) you will see a lot of people doing them very fast - you don't need to do them that fast but there should be a "proper form" video out there somewhere.
