    Word to the wise.......DO NOT DO JUMPING JACKS WITHOUT A SPORTS BRA ON!!! (OUCH!!)

    Well, I upped the anny....instead of 30/30/30 I did....

    30 push-ups I had to do these in 4 sets of 5, but I was able to do one set of 10, (I can't remember the last time I could do that many at one time!!!!) Never the less I did all 30!!!!! WHOO HOO!!!
    60 crunches and
    90 jumping jacks (needless to say I stopped at about #4 put on the good ole sports bra and started over...lol)

    Good Luck Everyone!!!

  • GREAT JOB GUYS!!!! Remember they can be split up just like mrstmp did ....go at your own pace but push yourself...and congrats to mrstmps for taking it further and doing 60 crunches and 90 jumping jacks! amazing!

    Pushups dont have to be perfect....go down as far as you can, and if you have to be on your knees instead of your feet, that is ok too. But push yourself!

    YOU CAN DO IT!

    Challenge completed :) did not realize how out of shape I am.
  • AWESOME Kre_78! So proud of you! We're all here for a change chica, dont worry. But just remember, the more you do it and get active the easier it will become. Our bodys are weak from supporting extra weight and not being active like we should have been. But the weight will slowly come off the more you work at it, your muscles will get stronger and before you know it, you'll be able to blow through pushups, crunches, or jumping jacks easily.:) Keep your eye on the prize!

    I've been getting discouraged thinking about how I have to lose 80 lbs. But I changed my way of thinking and split it up into 5 lbs goals. So my first goal is to lose 5 lbs...once I reach that.....I'll worry about the next 5...its going to be a long journey but living is worth it. :) YOU GO GIRL!
  • YAY!!! I completed todays challenge but took the crunches up to 60...yowza! hurts but feels great!

    Breaking it in half. This morning I did 15 push ups (my upper body is WEAK), 30 sit ups, and 30 jumping jacks. I'll do the other half of this in the afternoon. :) Thanks for the challenges, keep them up!

    Oh boy;
    It sure seemed alot easier when I was younger. I really didn't think it would be that difficult. But it was. My form with the push ups was not that good either. But the important thing is that even though I couldn't do it at one time; I finished. I am going to drink my water this week as well. I think we need a challenge to stay away from the simple sugars.

    Challenge complete. I did the push ups in 2 groups, but the fact that I could do 15 at a time amazed me. 5 from my knees used to be too much for me. Yea!!
