This weeks Challenge is to increase your current daily exercise 3 times this week.

I walk daily for 15 minutes. I plan on taking a second walk 3 times between now and Sunday.

What will you do??

Please post your journey on the challenge in this thread!

I do my exercise bike for 20-25 minutes usually 5 days a week. In addition to the bike I will do a kick boxing video 3x a week.

Since I have not exercised one time, except for a walk yesterday, since I started core, I will walk three times this week.

I, too, will go from nothing to walking on the treadmill three times this week. I'll walk as long as I can between 15 and 30 minutes.

[noussa]

I will go swimming for at least one hour, at least 3 times this week.
Thank you for coming up with this idea for a challenge, I am sure we can all use some friendly competition!

I already walk a lot. But, I will add one 30 minute fast walk each day and I will do the video at least twice.

Ok, I did my walking away the pound kickboxing tape for 15 minutes, what a workout, even my 4 year old dd did it with me and she is pooped lol.

I walked at a quick pace for one hour! That is in addition to the 20 minute stroll with my dog and walking at work!

I will do a upper body work out, with my weights, three times this week. I already do water aerobics twice a week.

I will do my 3 times this week. I'll start tomorrow.

We were at the doctor's and hospital most of the day. Curtis is having a heart catherization this Friday. If they find the need, they'll insert a stint Friday. What next?

[Vickie]

OMG, Sandra....what happened? When did this all come to light. How are you? I'm worried about you GF.

[ontarget]

Thank you, Vickie. I'm worried, too. He went for a routine stress/echo a few days ago. An abnormality was found. Our regular doctor called us in yesterday and sent Curtis on to a specialist this morning. Evidently there's a blockage. We won't know how much till the test Friday. Needless to say we are both eating like there's no tomorrow. We know that doesn't help but it's what we're doing.

[Vickie]

You both have my prayers and good thoughts. Please let me us know when all is well.

Don't worry about the food right now.

Sandra-Wow! When I say I know how you feel, I really mean I know how you feel. Four years ago my DH had a feeling of racing heart with dizziness. I took him to the ER, and the next thing you know, he was getting a heart cath with stent. He was only 46 years old. He has done extremely well. He takes a few more meds than he did before, but if that is what keeps him with me then "so be it". Our medical technology is amazing! Before you know it, your DH will be fine, too.

I will be praying for peace for the two of you. I know you will be nervous until it is all over!

[Tejas]

It doesn't help much I know, but the medical procedures are almost routine now. DH and I are thinking of you and Curtis
