Gina in NY · 01-28-2007, 01:41 PM

So here it is folks. Your first week to challenge yourselves to do more than you have, harder than you have or better than you have. ANYTHING you want to do - even if it to walk the dog for 5 minutes twice this week - as long as you push for more than you've been doing, its your personal challenge. We'll be routing you on every step of the way!!! We'll check in on Sunday and see how we all did. (Updates are fine at any time of course)

I lo9ve the strength I feel when I do pilates. I will add pilates to my daily rountine 2 times this week for 30 mintues, and I think my thighs need to be bigger to balance my calves. I never thought I'd say that in my life time. So leg press here I come 3 time this week. Bring it on. I've just been doing mostly upper body strength training with my aerobic workouts. I can't beleive I'm saying I need thighs and a butt!

Okay, in the other thread I said I would go to Curves twice this week and walk the dog once. Since I hate Curves I take that goal back and say that I am going to walk the dog 3 times and do resistence bands twice.

Good Luck Cindy.. (What does your dog do the rest of the time?
