My fitness challenges are now resumed after returning from my Activity House party in Austria. Our last trip leading it over the last 37 years! So, tonight: my fitness challenge is to march with knees high for 60 seconds!
Fitness challenges have slipped somewhat this week as I am away in Austria.
So, today do 3x 20 squats, knees over toes.
Tomorrow, go for 30 minute walk and include 3 x 10 secs brisk walking.
Saturday: stand up and sit down from your chair or sofa x 30 consecutively.😁👍👏
Tonight’s early fitness challenge: pretend skip on the spot x 120.
Tonight’s fitness challenge: sit on the front half of your sofa or chair and draw the alphabet with one leg/foot then repeat with the other one.
Tonight’s fitness challenge; stand with feet slightly apart, facing straight forward. Do 10 squats, knees over toes, core tight, head and chest facing forward. Rest and repeat.
