HI! Welcome! Hoping this helps you. It helps me to remember that it is such little time of the day to commit to, and I have been using this for when I get in a rut. It really helps with motivation and procrastination. :)

I will join this thread because I wanted to reach my goal by June. This way it makes me more accountable. I will come back each time I lose weight and at the first of the month. Best of luck, happiness, and blessings for the new year for everyone here! My goal is around 115 lbs. December 1: 150 January 6: 139--11 lbs as of…

Wow 150!! That is great! Thank you for the info..I was wondering about it and now guess I have some squats to do. :)

I saw this and thought it was a great idea...100 squats? hmmmm.... I was wondering why nobody's still doing it? Maybe 100 is too much? Anyone here have some imput?

I am in again for March....doing mixed 30 second planks...120 minutes March 1=4 Minutes 3/2; 3 min=7 3/3; 8 min=15 done so far 3/4; 5 min=20 done 3/5; 8= 28 done 3/6; 5=33 3/7; 5=38 3/8; rest 3/9; rest 3/10; 5=43 3/11; rest 3/12; 3=46 I have been a little under the weather.....starting to feel better and doing more today.…

My fingers are sore too...but I didn't go 60 minutes! Awesome!

I have problems in those areas also. I mostly do elbow planks...then switch to one side...one arm plank..I rest on my stomach and stetch arms out...do the superman....relax...then I do more elbow and to the other side. I can only go for 30 seconds each...best to watch your form...keep your head down and only hold until it…

Hi!! Have some fun playing!! I did have one of those roll ups... and sold it...I wish I would have kept it though, because it would have been nice in our motorhome. I sold it because in order to use it, you have to put it on a table and I didn't have our motorhome then.

WOW! So awesome!!! How do you feel?

REFEED? never heard of it?

It is amazing after doing planks for a while that they still are so difficult! LOL! I am getting a much stronger core though. Happy planks Y'all! :)

Hope your feeling better! Take care of yourself. Zinc is also good.

I did my 15 minutes of guitar...I also added some JamStix exercises when watching tv.

Yesterday...I did my 10, and then did some more 10's....I did great yesterday, even added extra walking and cycling. Hoping that someone joins me today!? :) Oh well....it is working for me so far.

Woops! I wrote 15 minutes instead of 10...! LOL! Usually, what I find is that if I get going and just do 10 minutes, I usually do more!

I did my 15 minutes....actually quite a few...I lost count as I was immersed and took breaks. I am learning so much and finding that it is bringing me so much pleasure...I have learned that the journey is most of the fun...and I am enjoying the journey of learning and playing guitar.

Awesome! Isn't it funny how just 15 minutes a day can bring such happiness and progress in life! Enjoy your piano!! I am working on adding to my guitar 15min/day.....adding piano and then harmonica....it is crazy to me how it is so difficult to do that...when it is just 15 min ---such a small amount of time....I also am…

Yes, I am finding that Intermittent Fasting is a tool I use also. It has helped me have control over several aspects of my daily routine. I have changed my timing as of yesterday to decrease my fasting time and allow for 3 meal times to be able to take my supplements and meds with, so I can space them out more.

Keep it up!! Find some enjoyment!! :) I play piano too, and haven't played for awhile because I wanted to focus on learning guitar. I am going to find 15 today to play piano...I have been wanting to do this for awhile...your post encouraged me!! Thank you!! :)

AWESOME!! ENJOY!! :)

I have been doing my 15 and yesterday started one of my guitar courses from the beginning with a checklist. I like having a guide to learning. It makes me more accountable. Anything to get me playing and learning more. :) I was so intrigued that I spent a few hours learning....I am definitely going to keep this method…

Wow! You are an accomplished musician! Please do share any tidbits of wisdom for other musicians to commit, learn, and grow in their music! :)

Awesome! Welcome to our musical party!! It is a place to start your journey and enjoy your music! :)

AWESOME!!! I am so happy that my thread helped you get playing again! Enjoy the process! Have Fun!! :)
