30 Day Jumpin' Jack,Crunch,Squat Challenge

Friday I returned to my senior EXercise class.  No problem since I have still been active, but not overly active.  One of my classmates looked so trim and lean.  I was really taken back.  She had on these tight skinny shorts and she LOOKED GOOD,  Shucks, I was almost jealous.   I asked her what had she been doing.  She told me that she was on day 18 of a 30-day challenge and she offered to text it to me. Here is a sample to see if it is something that you would like to do or try as a separate challenge.

It would like to give it a try and it would make me very happy if we could get this going.   Even if you have to do alternative MOVES is fine.  In other words, do the best you can do.  Weight loss is not the priority. Instead, we could target on our measurements. Breast/Chest, Waist, Hips, Thighs, Biceps.  We don't have to share our numbers unless you want to but just the total loss.  It is about us doing something as a group.   I am open to suggestions. I would like to start on Monday.   Let me know what you think or offer suggestions.   Just say I am in or not.  Each day we comment that we met or did not meet the challenge.  Offer support or suggestions on how to get through. So get your tape measurers out and see how many inches we can lose in 30 days. BEACH BODY!!!!

As much as I sincerely hate the squats I can really already tell the difference in less jiggly legs so it is so worth it. Especially with summer/short season upon us. They are truly exhausting however....

Day 8 a killer with 60 squats after doing so many squats in my strenth traing class yesterday.  My legs feel yesterdays squats so sure I really will feel it more so tomorrow. Did jumping jacks and 40 crunches.

The squats are the worst but I think benefit us the most..... remember no pain no gain!

Your right Beck!  The benefits will be so worth the pain and agony lol.   Today I did day 10 since I rested the weekend.  It was a breeze doing 25 squats compared to past couple days.

I think squats were so worth doing to get those yummy fresh green beans, but do take it easy on those knees. Keeping it real is a must.
