    Re: August Strength Challenge - Power up everyone

    Some how I was not included in this challenge even though I signed up for it, no worries I'll just added my name to the list.

      I hope it's not too late to sign up for this challenge! If it's not, I'd like to pledge 75 minutes per week of pilates using ankle weights. (so... 75 x 5 = 375 for month)

      Let me know if I'm too late!

        Liv and Norman, thanks so much! I just needed a little motivation to get started. Pilates today and hopefully the gym tomorrow (and I'll take your advice about intensity to heart).

          Ahh Pilates. Those are tough. I to try some once in a while. They sure work though.
          I did yoga and some strength exercises at home. Gym was closed for repairs. Open tomorrow and I may do some weights then

                    Ahh kettlebells - I want to try those. Gym was still closed. So I ended up doing a bit of lifting at home. I have a bench and some free weights.

                                Got in a good yoga class again today. Will try to sneak in some lifting tomorrow.
                                I have noticed Stacy - someone is halfway already
