Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 6 minutes of:

10 Handstand Push-Ups

20 Shoulder to Overhead (115/75lbs)

25 Pull-Ups

Rest exactly 4 minutes, and then . . .

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 8 minutes of:

10 Handstand Push-Ups

15 Box Jumps (24″/20″ – open hips on box)

20 Shoulder to Overhead (115/75 lbs)

25 Pull-Ups

30 Double-Unders

Shoulder to overhead, Pull-ups are still my "weak technique due to mobility" exercises. wish me luck!!

Everyday I am trying to get the mobility corrected in my thoracic region so these will get better. Lacross ball and roller are my BFF along with any stretch that loosens those tight front and upper back muscles. Learning more about mobility stretching every single day and also starting to really " hear" how my body needs and responds to mobility.

Good luck everyone!!

I'm exhausted just looking at all those Burpees. You're my hero!

] Girl' date=' count everything that has motion!!!!! Lol[/quote']

Now THIS gives me some naughty ideas!

[SeaGirl 193]

Maybe we can figure out a date/time to meet up. I know that long-distance commuting is hard...hubby did it for 2 years' date=' we only saw him on weekends. Now he works primarily from home ...lol not sure which is worse.

So I was supposed to take it "easy" this weekend but I ended up mowing the lawn (we have quite a large lawn, actual mowing time..not including triming, etc...is like an hour.) Hubby is quite allergic to the lawn (lucky me!) so rather than hear him wheeze and act like he is on his deathbed I took over the mowing duties years ago. Anyway, I have one more day of "rest" before my weight class tomorrow. Oh and I don't have a fitbit or anything to keep track, so the lawn mowing isn't going into this challenge...LOL![/quote']

Maybe next Friday or Saturday? I'm going to VT this weekend. I will be walking there.

Yesterday I did 1.5 miles on the elliptical. I had to stop after a half hour to catch Chicago Fire. That's my guilty pleasure.

Just worked 13 hours and stopped for a ginormous plate of food of which I had 6 bites. I'm gonna get up and elliptical again in the morning. So grateful to have this new life!

Good job everyone! Y'all ROCK!

Question. Are you guys counting all that you walk in a day, or only things where you set out for a long exercising walk? Do I count all my fit it miles or inky ones where I set out to exercise?

I'm just counting biking with an aggressive goal of 300 miles. As for what we "should" count.. I think we should count whatever is going to motivate us to push ourselves and increase our activity.

Oh my! JUST 6.5 and 59! Lol. Girl, I love you!!

This is the 9th of the month and you have almost 60! As Coops would say, "AMAZEBALLS "

[SerendipityHappens 1,594]

Got in 3.40 miles walking today which puts me at 33.94 miles total so far.

I got home late from work so didn't have a chance to ride the bike but I did stop and buy a headlight/taillight set so I can ride early morning or evening time.

Great job so far this month everyone. You are doing great! It is great to see all the new faces doing so well! Keep it up everyone!

d'oh,I'm disappointed. I've been waiting for a report on the bike! I just got a bike a few days ago and I rode it home from the bike store.. four miles in heavy traffic and I'm not a very competent rider.,, which apparently is quite obvious because the guy from the bike shop called me to make sure I got home safely.

[Meliss000 283]

7 miles total for today and yesterday, 40 miles total, feel like I'm slowing down due to knees, feeling better, just taking it easy!

[TerryBelieves 352]

16.26 miles so far. Dang I'm lagging behind! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Sorry to disappoint but be disappointed no more. I went for a quick 1.4 mile ride thru the neighborhood this morning before work. The bike felt AWESOME! It is amazing how much a bike that is fitted for you feels so much better. Well worth the money in my opinion. I didn't ride home from the bike shop...that is about 25 miles for me...lol I will be riding again tonight for sure.

[RoxFC 175]

Yesterday I began week two toward my 125 mile goal and I got in 1.5 mile walk and 3.7 mile bike ride. So, for this week, my total is: 5.2 miles and my grand total is: 33.2 miles.

You guys are doing great. And making me so jealous. I'm living vicariously through you all cause at the moment I'm still ambling around pretty gingerly. Keep it up.
