If anyone on teh Challenge could explain the "swimmers" to me I would really appreciate it! I did push-ups in its place last night, but it is scheduled for tonight again and I would like to do this right. Thank you!!!
You lay on your stomach with your arms straight in front of you (so they're along side each of your ears). Then what you're going to do is lift your LEFT leg with your RIGHT arm and hold the position, then slowly put it down and do the same for the RIGHT leg and LEFT arm. It will look like you are swimming in s-l-o-w motion.0 -

Wowzers - what a day!!
Didn't get our daily challenges until too late yesterday so, I am one day behind and did yesterday's today! And, just for spite threw in 45 jumping jacks and 15 burpees to boot.
I'm amazed that I am under my calorie goals but it is all thanks to the tracking this site allows me to do. Just finishing off the last of the required water but will have more later on this evening, with a slice of lemon for desert!
Keep up the great work everyone!!0 -

You go girl....look at that weight loss 49 lbs. awesome....0 -
Is it too late to join this challenge? I've never done one before and I'd like to start...more motivation! Also, if someone would kindly let me know how these even work. How do you know daily/weekly challenges? 0
-
Ok, so I'm not sure if you want us checking in daily after we have completed the Challenges or not. But so far, I have completed everything.
Feb. 1st: Completed 3 sets/15 swimmers, 3 sets/15 wood chops (with 10lb wts) and 10 mermaids
Completed Bonus Challenge: 100 Burpees + 80 oz water.
Also additional 50 crunches
Feb. 2nd: Completed 3 sets/15 swimmers, 3 sets/15 wood chops (with 10lb wts) and ran/walk 3.1 miles + 80 oz water
Also added in 400 crunches and a 2 min. plank
AND I AGREE....BURPEES ARE THE DEVIL!!!!:devil:0 -
So, today was still hard, but much better than yesterday! Yesterday I went way, way over my food intake. Today I was over, but nothing an extra 20 minutes on a bike wouldn't cure. Tomorrow I'll have to see if I can stay in goal!!!!!!!!!!!! No check on the weight loss yet, that'll come on Tuesday. But, until then I need to ramp up the exercise in order to lose! I can't do all the ones listed in this challenge because of a health issue, but I'm doing what I can!0
-
Have to say: I am really proud of myself today!
Completed everything, including over water, under calories, caught up on my daily challenges, ahead of my weekly challenge goal AND I went out with friends tonight!!!
Planned for and only had 3 small glasses of red wine and drank water throughout the evening.
Friday is usually a really bad day for watching my intake but today worked out really well and my friends were the best! Respecting my wish to reduce the intake of alcohol!! And we still had a blast!
Great day! I have to say! :bigsmile:0 -

Not sure if it is too late, but tag along anyway! You can still monitor and see how you are doing compared to us.
It's my first and doing the extra stuff has been great! Just read tsumpter's posts for what we are doing! She is our leader and each of her posts from day one has all the stuff we are doing.
Good luck and keep yourself motivated!0 -

Be proud of yourself for not quitting!!! The main goal is a healthy lifestyle! YOU GO GIRL!!!0 -
I have been able to complete all the challenges so far except for the walking and the burpees are a work in progress but since I am over on my calories today and I have to work out until I am back under I may try to finish them tonight. Hows everyone else doing?0
-
Lots of running equals a sucky diet today, but I got my workout in first thing this morning!! Yay!0
-
Hello, all. Just checking in. All caught up today feels good.
Didn't quiet meet all water intake on Thursday, but I did well Friday and today. Didn't rest on Friday I had to make up for Thursdays workout.
I have 40 (20 Friday and 20 today) burpees down and 60 to go.
Thurs. Feb. 2nd: 3 sets of 15 wood chops, 3 sets of 15 swimmers presses & 3.1 mile walk "Walk away the pounds tape". Done - Friday.
No rest on Friday, but did do something nice for myself.
Sat. Feb. 4th: 1 min. bear walk, 20 leg lifts and 100 jumping jacks
And FYI I'm adding bear walk to my dis-like list.0 -
Wow! I made myself do it. I finished today's challenge! I spent the day with the kids at the amusement park and I was exhausted when I got home. But this challenge has been so motivating to me. I didn't want to miss a challenge day. I also just got a FitBit and wanted to get my "stairs badge" so I also walked my stairs 10x so I could get that today too. So I hope I make the cut and get to keep playing next round!! Also, Friday I didn't totally rest, but I did a very light workout (just enough to meet my FitBit goals), but I did do something nice for myself! I went out for a nice lunch and made good choices!! That is new for me, usually I have very little willpower when looking at a delicious menu, but I am doing better!! This challenge is also making me account for my water, another very good development for me!
I hope everyone is having a great weekend!!0 -
2/5 challenge DONE! Still drinking my last water...0
-
I meet my water every day, but the challenges are hard, the daily challenges I'm getting in but don't think I'll make the extra burpees. However, this is the most dedicated I've been, so I'm good with that 0
-
I didn't get this until today....let me know if your doing it in March as well !!! I'm in for sure !!!!0
-
I would be interested in joining if your doing it in March !!! Let me know. I was late seeing this for this month !!! Thank you0
-
2/6 challenge exercises are done and I have 85 of the 100 burpees, but I am not doing well with my water today. I will try to get in more before bed, but I will probably be a little short.
I hope everyone is off to a good start this week!!0
