If there is still space, I am interested in joining this!!

Has this challenge already started? Is there a group for it, or just the thread on here? Will there be daily challenges or anything like that? Certain weigh in or measurement days? I'm looking for something to help get me motivated...
-
I realized that I never included how to do some of the exercises that I used for the challenges... I put some of that info in the quote of Kristen's post!

Just finished today's and yesterday's. I have been doing good but it's been a little crazy past couple of days. Since Kristen's internet is a little off, I will try to post the daily challenges on my "status" page or whatever it is called. Everyone keep up the good work!
-
kind of hard to explain, but basically you have your hands in the air by your head palms facing forward. kick one foot out to the side in the air and "crunch" down to the same side kind of like an oblique crunch. Quickly alternate and kick opposite foot out and crunch to other side. Does that make sense?

2 1/2 minutes of each WAcky Jacks and Cross over jacks yesterday! Also, 2 sets of 20 Glute Bridge Marches today!
-
Great job everyone! Keep up the great work. It takes time and every little bit is a step in the right direction!

Everyone fluctuates daily... that happened to me last week (gained .2lb) and this week I lost 1.8lbs! Just keep up the good work and I'm sure you'll do great!

Good job! I got my cardio in, but still need to do my crunches for today...
-
Took a 5 minute walk to a yard sale near my house and I did 30 minutes of various calisthenic/cardio this evening. I usually log this as "calisthenics" but I'm not sure... what would you consider this circuit? 50jumping jacks 40 crunches 30 calf raises 20 squats 10 pushups I do this 10 times and it takes me 15 minutes...…

I haven't! I usually use pumpkin in brownies. I will definitely have to try black beans. Is it just brownie mix and a can of pureed black beans? Will def be trying this!
-
I am a HUGE sweets fanatic (ice cream, cake, cookies, etc). I have found some really easy recipes that use a cake mix and either applesauce, canned pumpkin, diet soda, etc instead of oil and egg. I usually use applesauce or pumpkin and I throw in shredded carrots, zucchini, whatever to make them more healthy. And instead…

There is a post on this Group called : August Mini Challenges. Today is 1-3 sets of 10-16 Bird-Dog abs. Definitely feel free to check it out and share any tips, recipes, ideas, etc that you have. We're here to support and motivate each other
-
That's quite okay! Everyone does what they can... We don't want anyone to push themselves too far and end up hurting themselves instead. If there's a cardio challenge that says "2-4 minutes" then start with what you can do - if that's 1 minute, that's fine! If you can do 4, that's fine too! I don't know about others, but…
-
3 sets of 15 Bird-Dogs are done! Woot-woot! How's everyone doing with these today?
-
I love that feeling! Glad they make you feel good!
-
I think integrating some cardio is a good idea - even if it's only 5 minutes worth or what not, it's better than none. I know there's cardio involved in the challenges that I'm preparing ...

http://caloriesburnedhq.com/zumba-calories-burned/ I use this calculator. And I usually go with the moderate level... it bases it on your weight and the time you do the exercise. Good luck!

I'll do this and yesterdays that I never got to!

Anyone can feel free to add me as a friend…

I don't do calf raises or curls, but I'll squeeze and hold my abs or butt as tight as I can while I shampoo, rinse, condition, rinse, wash my face... Usually I count to 30 or so to myself so it's about 30 secs at a time...
-
Did my 2 minutes in each direction!
