Honk for day 4. 70 squats before work. It was either that or in the loo at work as I'll be out at my group tonight.

Wow all before work. AMAZING work C xx

 

[Mrsfeeneytobe]

Honk for day 2 and in did do option 3.

Go Cornish!!!! Whoop whoop!

I'm all for not doing tricep dips....might steal that one off you for the future xx

 

[Mrsfeeneytobe]

Planks are good - I can do a minute fine, 90secs ok-ish but tried 2 mins today and was shaking! Just about managed it! Can't believe only a couple of weeks ago 20seconds equalled a shaking wreck! Shows it does build up!!

Squats are easier.

Push ups - grrrrrrrrr ouch!

Show off haha xx

 

[Sammy33]

Would those elbow push ups be like a push up? I might try them but find push ups soooo hard. I'm getting used to the tricep dips now (finally!!!) xx

 

[Clinquant]

These are the sort of things that put me off the arm stuff. I think I might finish my squats and planks from the 1 Feb them I might try to find some simple sun salutation sequences with a view to that helping my arms. Thy always feel well worked after yoga but once a week ain't going to cut it.

 

[CornishTT]

Yes sammy, start in plank position then push up onto you hands, then back down onto elbows. I couldn't do both arms at once so did one arm each, alternating which arm I raised up on/lowered first. You can see exercise here, it's the first exercise in the clip, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLufNALCTM8&feature=youtube_gdata_player . Reason I chose them over tricep dips is they work on core at same time. My core needs all the strength it can get.

Sorry to put you off C, never done yoga but heard wonderful things about it!

 

[Clinquant]

Honk for today. The mornings are obviously working for me. Will try and stick with that as I'm swimming tomorrow.

 

[Mrsfeeneytobe]

Honk for today....at last!

Think you've got the right idea knocking them out in the morning....xx

 

[Sammy33]

Hmmm Cornish I might try although I'm struggling with push ups in general at the moment. Been 10 days on my arms challenge and they don't seem to be improving.

Today:

Arms done. - 15 push ups. 50sec plank. 15 tricep dips.
Abs done. - 60 crunches, 24 leg raises. 55sec plank.
Plank done. - 120 seconds.
Squats done. - 185 with weights.

BUT been naughty on the baking a cake and nibbling! Feel a bit sick and yuck now.

No xena badge for that naughty behaviour. Xena wouldn't lick the spoon, bowl, whisk...!!!!! Xx

 

[CornishTT]

Well done Mrs!

Xena, I bet you burned off quite a few cals doing all that exercise, don't beat yourself up too much about it.

Honk for day 3 for yesterday, hubby went out for a walk and I did my exercises. I going to try and fit them in sometime this afternoon as I am going out tonight to a friend's house.

 

[Clinquant]

Well done everyone. Only managed half this morning. Going for a swim tonight but someone had better come looking for me around 8pm when I'm sat oblivious under a blanket.

 

[CornishTT]

It's another honk for me, day 4 though I walked 'the walk of pain' around a long block, duration 39 min 29sec, calories burned 382 instead of day 4 of challenge.

MAY have overdone it a little. I will probably pay for it tomorrow I had a pack of SnS crisps to compensate? I've done that walk so many times but underestimated it's difficulty on VLCD. And this is the first time I've done it with a heart rate monitor.

How did everyone else do? Did you swim Clin? No too early for that, check on you later. Well done for doing half of the squats anyway! x

 

[Clinquant]

Honk for the 80 squats but I didn't swim. I finished late and it was a step too far to go back to my office after everyone had left for my kit.

 

[CornishTT]

Never mind, on to tomorrow!

 

[Mrsfeeneytobe]
