I just wanted to mention that I really admire your consistency! You are doing SOOOO well!!

Thanks Meg! I'm trying to have fun with it. I just decided to make it a priority. It's hard with the kids though!! But worth it. I just started doing more bodyweight exercises and that has made it easier actually to incorporate. Jakob does them with me He was doing the wall push ups with me yesterday, and I had him do bear walking and crab walking.

Yesterday's Work out (Thursday)

Wall push ups 40
Wide wall push ups 10
Back Extensions 16
Chair squats 20
Regular squats 10
One leg dead lifts no weight, 10 each side
One leg dead lifts, 3 lbs, 15 each side
Crunches 50
Bear walk 1 minute
Crab walk 1 minute

Today and yesterday I managed to do some exercise, not as much as Thursday.

Today:
Wall push-ups 30
Squats 20
Front kicks 20
Stand calf raises 20
One legged dead lifts with 5 lb dumbells, 15 reps each side
Toe touches 15
Wrestler's bridge 30 seconds - ouch! - awesome one

I'm so sore all over right now from these exercises...its awesome though, I know I am accomplishing something

Abdominal Heel Touches 10
Butt Lift 10
Arm Circles 40
Ankle Circles 40
Leg Lifts 20
Stomach Vaccuums 1 held for 20 seconds, 5 more held for 5 seconds each
Wrist Circles 25

I just threw these together after finding some different stuff on the internet. My back is bugging me...mostly it is just bugging me to lay flat on my back and it hurts to get up off the floor more than anything. So maybe I will stick with ab work that is not on the floor until i can get to the chiro and fix my back up.

I did something called a "Deck of Cards" today. I assigned black cards to be wall pushups and red cars to be squats. I got through half the deck.

totals 108 wall pushs, 81 squats

Then for the heck of it I did a Wrestler's bridge - could only hold it for 16 seconds.
