    sounds good, but no way to sleep 8 hours every night. I have to get up at 4 am, so as I like to spend time with my hubby I have only 6 to 7 hours a night :-) (during the week).

    On the 2 sets of 15 Swimmer’s Presses I am going to use some bottles of wine that I have. I can't drink them for 10 weeks so I need to find some other use for them lol. I am so excited to do all of this. I just got my sister to join this site and she might join this challenge.

    I'm going to fit these workouts in with my 10K training. The 10K workout I'm doing is this http://www.halhigdon.com/10ktraining/10knovice.htm. I've got to figure out when to do each thing during the week with my work schedule, but I will get it done! Exercises look great! Just what I need to get into better shape!

    Hey everybody!! I managed Days 1 and 2 of the challenge and hope to complete the Day 3 in about half an hour. I just wondered whether you guys are logging the challenge as your exercise and if so what do you enter it as?

    I just add the cardio to my minutes and under cardio there is a strength training option that I use for weights and such.

    I have done day 1 and 2 and the crunches from Day 3. Taking a break this week from running as I'm still getting over a cold. I ran my first 5K on Sunday and am going to start training for a 10K soon. This challenge is a good way to supplement my running.
