and then do 3 sets of 12 squats.

push your heels to the ground, stick your booty out, and dont let your knee go over your toe. keep your toes pointed straight ahead - all these things will take the pressure of your knee. the more you stick your butt out the better.

Mr Tony Horton made us do it this morning !! - ie during my p90x legs workout on dvd that i did this morning.

it was great, so it thought i would torture you girls with it aswell!! hehehe

well done on doing it !!! im impressed ! you rock!!! here's a gold star for you :flow1:

I have met your challenge Mercy.:cb:

wow weights AND squats. i like how your evil mind works!! :devil:

next challenge:

Step up for 10 minutes, holding hand weights (3-6lbs). (which will burn approx 100 calories)

if you dont have a step, use stairs, or use a foot stool. anything that is sturdy that you can step up on.

Step up for 10 minutes, holding hand weights (3-6lbs). (which will burn approx 100 calories)


Are you SURE YOU DIDN"T MEAN REPS?:D

I'm gone shopping for one day and you two have really been working out. Let's see what I can do this evening. :lol:

Are you SURE YOU DIDN"T MEAN REPS?:D

lol nope no reps. i simply want you to hold the weights - you're not going to move your arms, they will just be down by your side...

so just step up and down from your "step" for 10 minutes.

does that make sense? sorry if im not making it clear.

Echo started the dare on week 5, so you prolly only have 50 exercises to do:D

LOL!!!

Diva, maybe stick with the dares from this week, ie in this thread- that will still be MORE than enough of exercises!!!

Yeah I am starting with the Week 5 Dare Thread. I wrote down everything except the ones I can't do. The ones that will cause me injury. Like the Tri-cep dips, Wall Squats and the Running stuff. I can't run at all or walk on the treadmill because it hurts me old hips. All the running & c25k stuff I can do on the elliptical in the afternoons if Jess gets home early enuff. Week 5 plus this thread will keep me busy all week I think, LOL! I won't need the WATP's that for sure! :D

I won't need the WATP's that for sure!
