Uh, no. I think I’d remember 100 squats. YIKES!

Hey guys!

Arika has a really cool Mr. Linkie love going on her blog.

Link to your daily update every day like I did here:
Day One: Fat Loss Quickie Challenge

LOL In case one ever wonders if people pay attention to graphics on websites: oh yeah, they do! My gaze immediately landed on the photo of the baked beans and I wondered what kind of diet tips Scott was providing along with his workouts.

Best of luck to you in this challenge, Nicole!

Way to go everyone! You’re doing great.

Oh, you’re so gonna hurt if you do two days in at the same time.

Maybe it’ll keep you from skipping the next time! lol.

Congrats, Monica! I think I’ll go enjoy the sunshine this afternoon, too.

If you’re doing weights and have a big ball, you might still consider Scott’s program. I found the resistance portion to be very effective and efficient. 10 minutes and every muscle in my body was exhausted. Plus, it’s not all “macho” – if you get my drift, so I didn’t feel weird about any of the exercises. You might have some other weights program that you love, but I wanted to pitch in just in case. The two videos are separate so you can skip the cardio part entirely.

Can’t wait to hear your progress today!

Oh geez, there you go again, mom! lol.

I guess if SHE’S doing the burpies at 55 years young, I have no excuses.

You’re ON! Bring on the burpies! lol.

Ok I’m back! Did the cardio portion of Day 1 and WOWSERS!! I didn’t even do the burpies as fast as Scott and I didn’t do but 4 reps and I’m huffing and puffing!

Feels GOOD though! Bring on Tuesday!

Ok I confess I didn’t do Day 1. I was exhausted last night but that’s no excuse.

So – for today I’m doing Day 1 & Day 2 (I have a feeling I’m in trouble!)

Way to go! I walked about 2 miles and that’s it.

Need to find some weights.

I’m going to do some pushups right now. Feeling good.

Woops! I missed day one as I just saw your challenge tonight – busy finishing up some work and need to get to bed! Will check in with ya in the morning!

Oh Lord, what did we start with the brassiere thing, eh?

For the “burpie” (is that it?) I just sort of went down on my hands and knees, tried to do a push up, then crawled back to an upright position and did a little jump (reference the whole brassiere conversation) and then crawled back to my hands and knees… hey, I’m tryin’!

I should be getting a ball soon so will improvise, too. Just wait until we’re all on track! Watch out!

L8R Team!

Well, I survived the cardio portion, too.

What I really liked about it was that it was easy to follow. No fancy moves required which is something that always frustrates me in normal exercise routines.

Confession: I kinda didn’t do the pushup-to jump thingie. Instead I just jumped or did jumping jacks. Woulda killed myself otherwise. Heck I fell off the ball several times during the workout part. So, don’t think a sprained ankle during the cardio isn’t possible.

So, loved how simple the moves were. Again, need a better brassiere. (Poor Scott didn’t know what he was in to!)

Anyone else? Thoughts?

With all this foundation talk I feel a little left out! LOL

Anywho – I don’t have my ball yet either so I’m going to improvise with the edge of my couch if it will work. If not, Scott says to just do the cardio until we get the ball.

100 Squats!!! Oh My I’m sooo in for it!

I haven’t done my first day yet, but I will tonight. I want to get on myself to where I’m getting up early every morning and doing it first thing eventually.

I’m with you on the ‘foundation’ shopping.

I used to jog, but had to quit because of the black eyes.

100 Squats! Oh Lord!

Love the Bush’s Baked Beans dumbbells, Nicole.

That jumping was a little hard for me as Nicole eluded to in her first comment, ahem, ahem… I see some “foundation” shopping in the very near future.

I had to substitute or be creative with some of the exercises because I don’t have my floor ball yet. Tomorrow.

The push ups were pretty funny. Scott has some adjustments I can make so I can get through them, so hopefully I’ll do better.

Did you say 100 Squats? Ha!

I’ve been doing Scott’s workout; but I will officially follow along with you starting tomorrow.

Did you all do the 100 squats yet? (can’t remember what day that is on)… yeah, major OUCH!

Wohooo… we survived the first workout. I love Scott’s energy, but boy is he making me work. I have a feeling we’re going to be sore tomorrow.

Here’s my son with his opinion:

It was hard and quick.

My mom had to lift small cans of beans and she made me too.(I skipped instead of the pushup-jumps.)
