In this infogram in the original post your toes just need to be turned out as needed.

Looks amazing! Inspiring as made me think where I can go for a hike.

:smile: Did my 45 today- was really tough! Maybe listening to Enrique tomorrow in spanish will help! :smile:

Congrats on finding the muscle @Sk8Kate! Did my 40 today! :smile:

I would like to join too!

Thanks @GrannyMayOz! I used the Pingpong song to do my 35 today. I'm nicely out of breath :smile: I can really see the benefits of the squating especially when doing my Taebo

Okay back to it. Did my 30 for the day! I do feel it's making a difference in conjunction with my normal exercise routine.

Did my 30! Thanks for the info on this thread so really trying to go as deep as possible and concentrate on form. The toddler image is a great one to have in mind. Rest day tomorrow but back on Sunday for me :smile:

Looks like a great workout @GSD_Mama! Something to aim for. I honestly had a look at it yesterday when it came up on my feed. Something for me to try in the next few weeks - probably at the end of the 27 day challenge.

Squat squatty squat squat! Really have to push it now. Did my 25 for the day!

Great stuff @spunkyabroad! Thanks for the inspiration and info @wabmester, @Keliandra, @itcphotog, @deksgrl and @DonPendergraft! That toddler is too cute. Can I go that low? Unlikely but I'll give it a go tomorrow with my 25 squats.

I'd be interested in your progress too. Sounds like you already have strength there to build on. as @tru2one said onward and downward! :smile:

BTW done my 20 for the day!

Awesome that you can do 50 at a time! Not sure if you are supposed to feel the soreness or the burn! @GrannyMayOz I'm just going by the instructions here. You are supposed to go as deeply as flexibility allows but best thing is not to cause injury.

I think as long as you feel it must be ok to begin with. It's supposed to get you started on strengthening your core in general. So try to use your abs, rear and thighs at the same time. I was feeling it at the bottom of my thighs today.

Okay done my 15 for the day! :smile:

Awesome @Horsechick49 ! Glad you're in too! [ I'm down 30 pounds and was just thinking this weekend that I need to get my butt in gear (LITERALLY) to start tightening things up. [/quote] Congrats on the weight loss! I was thinking the same about my core muscles in general. I can't really do pushups and planks yet so think…

:lol:

Cool @x_tina324! I've done my 10 for the day!

Cool only 10 today but will be useful in 27 days. :smile:

In the link to start with you can do the squats over a chair- maybe that will help?

Glad to see you guys are on board! The plan starts off gradually and with a rest days after a few days so I hope it does not aggravate your knee. :smile:

This is incredibly helpful! I like the list of low carb natural sources of magnesium, potassium and sodium.

Thanks @auntstephie321 I think this is a substitute for the powerade. I'll incorporate the broth too and look into the lite salt. @micenspicy1 The lite powerade should be easy to find as it is from the coca cola company. The tablets I mentioned are from healthfood stores but there is a special offer at my local bicycle…

BTW is this what you guys mean? http://highfive.co.uk/product/hydrate/zero How often do you have it everyday or just when you are low energy?

This is really good to know. I felt like this yesterday so could not do my normal exercise.

I can understand your frustration. I went through a similar experience for 6 weeks. 3 months must be worse. I did the unlimited calorie thing to get into ketosis but did not lose weight. I lowered my calorie intake to 1600 then increased it again to unlimited but without dairy. None of this worked. I tried each change for…

I totally agree with @totaloblivia as well. I swear by clotted cream which we are lucky enough to have in the UK. It has a higher fat content than double cream so can substitute for your fat bombs. Also as I have stated in the chocolate post- hotel chocolat has a vast range of high cocoa low sugar chocolate. Expensive but…

Fellow chocoholic here too. I have got into posh 100% chocolate from Hotel chocolat in the UK-not powdery at all. Complex flavours like a good red wine. 5 grams at a time is good enough to nibble. (you are supposed to take as two small pieces in succession – the first prepares the mouth, the second reveals the flavours).…
