Love the challenges! Myself and two co-workers have started doing them every day and are really liking them. They are a great encouragement for us to keep up on our fitness goals.

Do situps wark that well.

Do situps work that well.

What do you suggest I do to accommodate a bad knee (split the cartilage 15 years ago)? Right now, whenever I try to do squats or lunges I can only do 3 or 4 and my knee starts to hurt. Plus, the next day I can have problems doing the simplest things, like walking. Please help.

To Debbie,
When I started to work-out, I went to my Dr. for a complete physical before, (I also have a right knee) that I would call a bum-knee. After I received a complete ok from my Dr. I began my exercising. I started out slow, not like biggest loser–but I did what I could, always working towards a goal. The next day–every muscle in my body ached. I purchased a knee brace & I continued to exercise thru the pain. Ice helped before going to bed too. After about 2 months, my bum knee is great & I still get pain there, but only if I do not exercise for a day or two, then I exercise again. The trick for me is to exercise everyday–even Sunday. I hope this helps. My dr. took me off all my blood pressure meds–2 weeks now. My dr. said to continue to exercise, it will save my life. I lost a total of 40 pounds–and I plan to lose at least 60 more–but I will continue to exercise forever.

great workout!! loved the intensity and the mental challenge! thanks

Bob, is this in place of my workout or in addition to my regular work out? Keep the challenges coming – can’t wait to incorporate them into my workouts! Thought of an iphone app for the challenges?
