My senior EXercise class has shut down. I haven't been exercising on a regular basis. I am going to reset and restart to renew my body. I will be doing this 30-day challenge, along with other activities to get back on track to feeling better. My body needs a serious boost. I think this will pump it up and jumpstart it because it works for me. It may not work for you. No arm twisting here. Therefore, I will be doing this again. Hopefully making it to the 30 days. If you want to join fine, if not I understand no need to EXcuse yourself just keep it MOVING like you always do. Let's Get Moving Part 3 Alternative MOVES are fine. In other words, do the best you can do. Each day we comment that we met or did not meet the challenge. Offer support or suggestions on how to get through.

Good idea! I LOVE the modified jumping jack.....my knee would not survive a real one, I don't think. I intend to join your challenge....although on days I work in the yard, that may have to suffice. The crunches will have to wait for tomorrow morning; too; I only do two sets of stairs a day, and already came down this morning. I will add this, too, since my hips are currently my weakest link and I am not able to go to PT: Clam Shells (single step) Exercise for Hips - YouTube
I will start with Day One!
Happy moving day!
OK - so I failed! I READ it wrong and tried to do 25 modified jumping jacks. Only got to 20 - but guess I get a STAR for that many!!! Did the sit/stands, and the clams......
Off to a ......................start!
Thanks for the challenge!
Done, had a little trouble getting up off the floor. Yesterday I stomped my toe, I was able to do 25 of the alternative jumping jacks. Squats were a little rough. Not the perfect form but I will get there. Got to do this for me. Whoo HOO!
Whew! I am not getting any younger.
Take it slow Jackie. You are not as young as you use to be Take good care of you.
Thanks for your concern. My doctor says I am good. I am taking it slow. Not pushing hard, just DOING IT!
Going back out to the "Lower 40" today and keep plugging away in the strip of woods as soon as it dries out One thing I will say about this old body of mine - it bounces back pretty quickly!
I may do some sit/stands and modified jacks to stretch out before I go out today. No crunches for ME since I am not allowed on the floor and I get up out of the bed and dash for my coffee in the mornings!
Enjoy whatever you do today!
