    Have made up for yesterday and cant do any extra leg work as my legs hurt too much. Have exceeded the situps amount though. Tomorrow aim for 1150 lunges/squats and 1000 situps. :rotfl:

    Thanks to everyone :T - you are all keeping me motivated. :D

    Just came on the thread to catch up plus check my target for the day. Think ill manage the squats though after yesterdays workout my bum is aching but in a good way. Situps im not too sure ill make much of a dent as ive just eaten and being a Friday night hmmmm

    Keep it up everyone, was telling someone at work today about the challenge as she said she had not done exercise for ages - this challenge is really making me think about doing something.

    Morning all,

    Somehow last night i managed to reach my targets which is great. I can feel my legs, stomach and bum getting stronger and more toned.

    Lunges and squats so far = 1175
    situps so far = 1020

    Have worked out that my average per day is about 80 for lunges and squats and 60 for the situps. Going to make sure i try to do at least 100 of each per day to make my average higher.

    Up to 2,010 / 50,000 situps as of this morning :j
    Thanks sugarspun and everyone else for the motivation, definitely wouldn't have bothered doing any exercise while away otherwise, and even got my dance exercise dvd out in the second week :j:j:j

    (skaps, did I just send you an unrelated PM?? doesn't take much much to confuse me though :rotfl:)
