Were You Up For The Challenge?

I'll admit - I forgot to remind you guys yesterday to do the Challenge. So to refresh your memory you're supposed to stand on one foot with your eyes closed... and time yourself. 


sounds easy ...


... but it's SOOOOOOO hard, right?!

my score?

26 seconds

and that was like best out of 5.

I had the husband try it since he was snickering while timing me ... and he only got to 6 seconds. Yes, I will bask in the glory of beating him. For sure.

Next Week's Challenge:

Push Ups off of the Counter

Okay, so let me explain this one. 
Remember my Aunt who is the Personal Trainer? 
I saw her over the weekend and asked her for some ideas.
She suggested this one. 

Basically, you stand a couple of feet away from a counter
and go into the push-up position. 

But when you push-up, push-OFF instead.
You literally want your hands to come off of the counter
while you go into the standing position.
Then in a controlled manner, go back into the push-up position...
and then repeat. 

Does that make sense?

Anyway, she does 50. 

So I'm saying that we should do 25. 
If you find that it's easy, then bump it up. 


no timing, just do it. 

(oooh, that sounds like something Nike would say)

And don't forget to list your times for standing on one foot!
(eyes closed!)

If you haven't done it, go do it.

it doesn't take long.
I promise.
