Thanks Scott, I think… just kidding! Thanks!

Love to hear that your triceps received a nice workout

Don’t want them flapping in the wind

I’m so proud of you and inspired! Definitely a Remarkable Wrinkly… hehe

Yup, Susanne, that whole folding chair thing had me wondering… No matter how coordinated a body is, it’s still so scary. Anyway, I’ll keep my feet on the floor and plug along through these exercises.

The good news is, I’m pleasantly sore all over. The really good news is the backs of my arms are even sore, which, hey, older women like me know what a problem that is. I’ve done a lot of exercises in my day for these flabby arms and this is one of the best things I’ve found yet. So, cool! Scott’s on to something here, for sure!

I’ll check in later here, all, after I get my two workouts in. Bye!

Lisa,

I’m finding that the exercises with the ball are my favorites. I’m so glad that I have it here because I’m really feeling those deep into my muscles.

Do you have a Target, Walmart, or KMart nearby? I think they all carry them.

Good job on the food today! That’s awesome!

Hey Susanne, thanks for your comments here and feedback on your blog. I’ll be implementing all of them.

Isn’t it amazing how effective a 10 minute workout can be?

The most common question that I get is… “Come on Scott, how effective can a 10 minute workout be?”

HA! Then they try it

I rarely do back to back. I definitely prefer to break it up. Not just because it’s challenging to do the workout and cardio back to back, but because it really boosts my productivity when I break my fitness into chunks.

The morning cardio increases my energy in the morning hours and gets rid of the grogginess. The early afternoon workout gets me through the typical lull that we experience and increases my productivity for the remainder of the workday and gives me the energy boost to play with my kids when they get home from school.

Hey Lexi,

If you want, Scott can bump you up a few days in the autoresponder so you’ll be on the same day as the rest of us.

And, I agree 100% “Stability ball, my butt”. You should see me go flying off that thing during my workouts. I think it hates me. lol!

Yeah, we have hardwood floors, so I didn’t really want to see mom bounching off that. Good call.

Yahoo!

Think about grabbing Scott’s program. (If you do, I’d appreciate it if you’d order it through the graphic in the post above.)

It’s the most efficient full-body workout that I’ve seen. Great for those of us with little time.

Too funny. I could give up sweets for the rest of my life, but fried foods? Oh heck no!

Hey Lisa, most of the workouts include the use of a stability ball. The cardio workouts don’t require the ball.

Either way, a ball is incredibly inexpensive and an incredible asset in your home office.

Lisa… Way to go girl on the nutrition today. Keep rockin!

Hey Monica, did you see the 10 minute outdoor cardio that I recorded just for you

http://fatlossquickie.com/blog/30-day-home-office-fitness-challenge-day-20-ten-minute-cardio/

Hey I’m listening to all of you and it’s my mission to deliver exactly what you need… except any miracle pill or something in bottle form

Seriously though, let me know if you have any questions.

Seems like everyone has done a whole lot for today. I feel backtracked and kind of envious you guys are all into exercising. I got my pilates ball though, and I’ve doing some jumping

I initially though I wasn’t going to get the program because I enjoy the outdoors, but now I think I’m getting it. I’m interested in the productivity part as well. Of course I’d appreciate saying good bye to a couple of extra belly inches

This is just a love-exercise-productivity fest! Super groovy!! I didn’t exercise again today – but, I did do a BUNCH of office cleaning – even moving furniture, too! So hopefully that’ll count for me today.

I was really good with food habits for the better portion of the day – like I wouldn’t let myself have a diet coke until I finished my big water bottle. And I never did finish all that soda – it’s still sitting there – from hours ago! LOL I keep thinking maybe I’ll drink it…. Nah!

And I had pita with hummus and sliced tomatoes for lunch. And I just did some ‘better’ habits in that area. Then – the afternoon hit and I got the munchies, something awful. But I grabbed my trail mix, so not all bad.

My head was good today, so I totally could’ve exercised today, too – what a waste of a ‘feel-good’ day. That’s ok, not gonna beat myself up. Will get it done tomorrow!

Scott (and all …and anyone) – are all the videos using the ball?

Oh boy, I’m gonna have to get up on chairs?!? I can barely stay on the stability ball (why do they even call it that?).

I can see the chaos now, when the toddler starts “exercising” just like Mom.

BTW, Nik, been wanting to tell you that this Computer Butt Challenge came at the perfect time. You see, last weekend, I decided to squeeze in some exercise during my 10-minute breaks (remember, when the kitchen timer goes off?).

I’m also feeling a bit sore after just my first day… and like you, I don’t even have weights yet. I’ve been using two cans of beans, LOL!

I love this group. Everybody’s so positive, supportive and motivated. Yo go, ladies!

PS: Cross-post coming soon

My arms were really sore yesterday, but are feeling great today so there’s still hope for my poor legs.. you warned us about today being heavy on the legs Scott.

Patti, I’m so glad you brought the chair issue up. I thought I was the only one a bit worried about that one and didn’t attempt to stand on my kitchen chairs. I could just seem myself flopping off and breaking an ankle on those.

My biggest mistake today was trying to do the workouts back to back. There just wasn’t enough energy left in my legs to do all those jumping jacks and quick steps. I’d keep going as long as I could and then just walk in place for a bit.

Going to split the two up again with a few hours inbetween the exercises.

OK Sister I’m here:-)

Ran/walked 5 miles this evening. I’m sort of a hard core fitness nut (I like to torture myself). Having been through 4 surgeries in the last 10 months, I definitely need to get moving:-)

Just got “officially” cleared by my dr. from the last surgery, so I’m good to go!

Looking forward to getting to know all of you and adding some value here. If you need some help with setting goals, focusing and mindset…I’m happy to help!

Oh my… you can probably all hear the shrill… “Scott Tousignant! What are you doing up on those chairs!” “You come down from there, right now!” Comes with the ‘mother’ territory I guess. Sorry!

Thanks, Scott, for the lower back heads-up. I wondered how much that would improve, if at all. I’ll check out your info and I won’t lose the faith. Just the biking alone has improved my lower back by leaps and bounds! So, it’s all good!

Yup, Arika, you’re right. A little humor goes a long way, especially when I see myself in the mirror trying to do those “burpies.” That was probably the weirdest thing yet.

Later all and keep it up… (Nicole is dragging me along so I can’t give up.) Thanks Nicole, Scott, and all!

The Mom

Finished my day 3 and I gotta tell ya I’m really craving a blizzard from Dairy Queen! lol – way to be specific Angela. We had one last week after Karate and we’re heading out to Karate soon. I’ll be good though I promise.

My biggest issue is sweets! I’m especially a chocoholic.

I posted a little video update on my blog but it got all messed up.

Standing on the chairs I was not going to attempt, I could see myself in the ER after that one, lol. I just did that on the floor. And balancing my feet while holding my body up just didn’t get co-ordinated but overall I loved the workouts and energy is still high almost two hours later!

I am so glad to hear I am not the only one with coordination issues. Kept thinking to myself, it can’t be THAT hard! Helps keep the motivation going checking in and keeping up with everyone!

Just finished up my Day 3 – those quick steps did me in! LOL I’m uncoordinated enough but throw a 3yo and a 1yo jumping around with me and well I’m actually quite surprised I didn’t fall on my Computer Butt!
