I will post my activity a little later, but I would like to ask--- then Tai-chi, lifting weights and yoga may be an option, too. Correct?

Yes totally! Absolutely everything that you could possible count as exercise counts!

That's wonderful, well done. Now tell me what the heck a fanny buster is!

I just started exercising a few weeks after starting Atkins. I am currently using an elliptical at the club, and i take several classes Zumba, Bollywood, Bellydancing, 50+ Yoga, and a few others. But I am not doing as much weight lifting as I want.

So I am accepting the challenge and I will being following a weight lifting DVD, starting at 10 minutes, and finishing the 10 days at 20 minutes or more per day.

Wow! *I* just started exercising and mostly I'm practicing getting off the couch! That's REALLY impressive, go you

Excellent selection and a fine vintage, madame. Thanks so much for joining us!

Thanks, but I am certainly not the #1 participant, but I am going to the classes, and I keep moving pretty well considering I am the biggest gal there!

It is a shame to not take advantage of the opportunity offered at this club. You can buy a 6 week pass for $38.00 and go to all the classes you want, or pay as you go for $10.00 per class each time you attend. There is also pilates and other classes that are a little bit too much for me at this time. But you can't beat the price compared to some other clubs.

bri - sorry, the fanny lifter [I said buster] is a two-piece step that comes with the exercise vidoes 'The Firm'. I currently use it as an end table
Fanny Lifter™ by The Firm

mission - looks like you are doing great on your progress and I applaud you for going to the gym. I bought zumba tapes, plus many others, but just never seem to use them. Congrats on your 21# loss!

Oh, that's not the funny part - this is. It was just made the appearance of a "fanny buster" momentarily hilarious. Not sure if a fanny lifter would be better or worse

[barrnone]

too funny - that will make me chuckle all day - thanks!

I forgot to sign up, but had this challenge on my calendar! I did 5 30 sec sprints on the stair climber yesterday. Will do 6 today and by the 30th, I should be able to do 15 of them.
