Daily mini goals?
What do you all think about having daily mini goals? Like today we burn 300 calories? Or less if need be? Who is in? I am in for sure
-
Is this group active?
I joined this group, then no one was posting any type of goals, so I sort of took it over. Are we still wanting to do weekly goals? If so how about starting Monday Sept 3rd we do at least 15 minutes exercise each day. Then the following Sunday night check in? Who is in? I am in!

Well, not too many are following this daily challenge, so not sure if I should keep it up or not. LOL What happened to you all? In case anyone still wants to do it, I will keep posting it. Tomorrow we will do our punches. Straight out and then do some uppercuts. Just do as many as you can and report in.

Hi, I was searching the groups to see if there was one where us sufferers could rant, rave, or just plain read about what others are doing to manage their daily pain.

Ok pals, today will be standing jack day. To do these you bring your arms up as if doing a jumping jack, but we don't jump, instead we squat a little. If you can not do squats, just to the arm part, if you can't put your arms above your head, then squat. If you can't do either, please feel free to do what you are capable…

Mini challange for Sunday
Hi, I think today we should do some relaxing exercises and deep breathing. I love doing the hand come together up over the head as I breathe in, hold for a few then hands come down out to the side and back up again. I know some can't put their arms above their head, so just do what ever relaxing you can do.

This was suggested by issyfit. Thank you so much for it. I think we can handle this. I know I can.

Ok, today pals, were are going to drink ourselves silly. NO not alcohol. Water, water and more water. Let's get in those 8 cups. I know we did this one before, but it is very important and I know some of us are still struggling with it.

Mini Monday
I have a suggestion for one day--wrist exercises. It is important to keep those muscles strong for most sports and for every day chores. You can use the things you squeeze or you can use dumbbells and do curls then turn your hand over and do extensions. Thank you issyfit for this one.
