I've been doing crunches as well sassy it all helps. Due to do 170 today

Waves back to Wibbly and everyone

Am psyching self up to do 60 squats & dips today

OK, stupid question, but what's a dip?

Oh, sorry, tricep dip (for bingo wings!)
Dip down supported by arms from chair (kind of squat too)

I move my hands up when I squat to keep my balance, so it seems I'm doing them by default

Ah, really worth doing leaning on a chair though, a v different exercise using full body resistance, REALLY works the triceps. But maybe you don't have bingo wings in which case, don't bother

First 50 squats done. Thighs feel OK but my knees really hurt! Awful. Will have to check I am doing it right.

Will start crunches tomorrow. Am leaving arms til July!

Well done, I have an unexpected rest day, thanks to my painful back, but hoping to get back into it tomorrow'

I'm having a rest day too but will get back on it tomorrow. Will hopefully try the crunch challenge too.

Thought I was reasonably fit but the thighs this morning!!! Stairs are a challenge...

55 squats done, 55situps done.

Sassy you are on the same day as me. Mine don't feel too bad but I didn't do the situps. The stairs were indeed a challenge though! Bloody hell. It must be doing us good.

Lovely day here. Hope it is where you all are too.

I'm on day 2. 55 squats. am doing the tribesport squat challenge and 50 ab crunches a day challenge.

160 squats, 50 crunches and a 30 minute non stop run. Hoping to fit a swim in later today as well.

55 squats done. Hurray.

60 squats, 60 situps.

Legs still complaining about stairs though improving. Glad tomorrow is a rest day just to give them a chance to recover!

I've had a rest day today, not looking forward to tomorrow. 180 squats to do!

65 squats, 60 sit ups and 60 tricep dips amongst other things.

I am breaking it up though is that ok?

Day 4, rest. aaaahhhhh (until my spinning class tonight)

65 done today. I inadvertently had a rest day yesterday as was at work and out in evening. Was starting to squat in my office when a colleague came in without knocking !

Knee, no, no, not allowed! Won't work at all then...
Joking

Sybil

180 squats, calves really hurt, and legs feel like jelly....

70 squats 65 dips. Can't remember how many crunches.

Really struggled today, but did my 185. Wussed out on my crunches, only 20 today.

70+70 done
