I use a step stool to modify my burpees usually, but I used my couch this morning. Here's a good video for mods to burpees (and mountain climbers). And the dog is super cute too! :smile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sjmL9btmps

I definitely modified the burpees, but I was proud that I was able to do all the jumping jacks full out. I also took them 10 at a time, I'd do ten and then walk around to let my heart rate go back down. I also did not repeat it at all, and only use my nickname and not my full first name. It was a good workout, got my heart…

Spell your name challenge: finished! It was HARD! I was reminded how much I HATE/LOVE burpees!

I completed the stairs today as well! My 9 year old daughter has been intrigued by the steps challenge and started timing me, taking pictures, and videos of me climbing up and down the steps in our house! Lol! I tried to get her to do them with me, but she was only interested in watching! :lol: Kids are so funny sometimes!

@jdelaroy So, it's a good episode. The people take this "magic" weight loss pill that takes the weight off overnight. But, really it turns your fat into those little guys and they walk right off your body! It's creepy and cute at the same time! @GrandmaJackie I want one as a pet too! :smiley:

@jdelaroy That would be disturbing if you could hear everyone's calories screaming! It made me think of the adipose episode of Doctor Who. Can you imagine all those little guys screaming?!

So, I totally didn't mean to post that update so many times! Lol! :lol: sorry about that! I thought it wasn't going through and didn't see the "your post will appear after being approved" after the 5th time! I just assumed MFP was being glitchy and deleting my post on me, because it has done that to me before. :blush:

That is FANTASTIC! :lol: I have never met someone who didn't know what a burpee was! It's awesome that you can still teach them a thing or two! :wink: I am planning on doing my first and last name of the workout probably tomorrow. I'm hoping I haven't over committed myself! I'll probably do my first name and then see how…

Personally, I would count it and here's why. I count anything that I don't normally do on a daily basis (would not count daily cooking, cleaning, and chores), and if it brings my heart rate up and I'm in a sweat from doing it. So, when I do heavy duty cleaning, like moving around furniture or cleaning out/washing my car…

Happy Hump Day, Sixpackers! Did more stairs yesterday, and I plan to do the balance video today. Here's to making our calories scream!

588/1332 steps

Oh my goodness, Belle! You would just be siting on the wall almost the whole time! Lol! :lol:

For fun! Who wants to join me? (You don't have to repeat 2x) Do it once and see how you feel! :smiley:

Oooooo! Yours is all organized and pretty! I'm going to have to steal your format! Lol! :smiley:

That's a fantastic day! :smiley:

Hey Sixpack! Okay, so I got a lot more finished today than I originally planned! So excited to be getting more active every day! :smiley: Challenge 1: 420/1332 steps Challenge 2:Have not done the Fitness Blender Balance Videos yet, but I watched it and wrote down all the moves so I can do it at my own pace and also with…

That's awesome! You burn a lot of calories and you're doing something super fun! I love to roller skate too! We bought roller blades as a family last year, and I can't wait to try them out when the weather gets nice!

So excited for this week! I'll admit that I am afraid of heights, but that bridge looks amazing! I would definitely want to go up it if I ever was blessed to visit Australia. :smiley: I'm pumped to have a stair challenge! Last race, the stair challenges really worked my booty, so I am thankful for the motivation again!! I…

Lesson learned for the next time we have a hike challenge of any kind, spread it out throughout the week if that's allowed! (Which it was this week) I am not going to make the hiking challenge today. I'm sorry team. :disappointed: I know that the challenges are super important, so I will do better next week! I will try and…

I loved those dance videos! I am in agreement that the second one is the most fun of them all! :smile: All I have left to complete is 3.1 mile walk outside, and I will do that tomorrow. I'm hoping my family will come with me, but I'm not counting on it. Lol! :lol: Will have to try and be finished before the super bowl…

Oh, I really like the Sixpack name too!

Just wanted to say how thankful I am for this challenge! When I felt badly on Weds, normally I would have let that "rest" stretch out longer than needed, probably the whole week. But, this challenge made me get off my behind and see how my body was really feeling.(Don't worry, I haven't been unsafe or anything, still…

Roller skating, @jdelaroy ?! That sounds like so much fun! I love to roller skate! I can imagine the older people skating like pros. I remember my papa could skate backwards and looked like an ice skater out on roller blades when he could still skate. :smile: I imagine all older people skating like him. Lol!

I think this is a FANTASTIC idea! We should have a team name! :smiley:

Sorry I didn't post yesterday at all, I woke up dizzy and had a migraine all day, so I spent the majority of the day laying down and drinking water. By the time I felt up to moving around, I had to school my daughter before her brain stopped functioning. I was really proud of her for being able to school in the evening…
