#BaldysChallenge - Day 24 and a NEW exercise

For those who don't know what #baldyschallenge is, here's a quick explanation:

On New Year's Day, whilst most of the world was in bed sleeping hangovers off, I got chatting to a few people who wanted to start getting fit. It struck me that an easy way for people to get into a new routine was to start bit by bit, and gently get the body used to exercise. Mentaly, it's easy to take small steps and have lots of short term goals that get you towards your longer term goals. So I proposed #baldyschallenge.

Jan 1st = 1 Press Up, 1 Sit Up
Jan 2nd = 2 Press Ups, 2 Sit Ups
and so on, just adding 1 rep to each exercise a day.

There have been dozens of people following and doing the challenge, either as their exercise for the day, or as an extra set of exercises to their normal training.

Last night, my friend David Speed recommended we add bodyweight squats to work on the lower body. Sounds like a great idea, and not impossible for people to add in at this stage.

So, today's challenge is:

JAN 24 = 24 Sit Ups, 24 Press Ups, 24 Bodyweight Squats

Once you've done it, either like my status with this Blog Post link so that others can see you're still with us, or if you are a Tweeter, ReTweet my Tweet with this link.

Stay with me people, you should really start to feel the benefits next month. Toned bum and thighs, pert pecs, no bingo wings - who needs surgery?!
