I completed the challenge today with high knees feeling like a breeze. Proud of myself.
Day 8:
50 HIGH KNEES
20 JUMPING JACKS
5 SQUATS
3 ELBOW PLANKS 10sec each
I also tried to do someone else’s routine around evening. It was definitely advanced because I couldn’t even bring myself to complete it. Here are the exercises I did complete:
10 split squats
10 reverse burpees
10 box jumps
I completed week 1! Seven whole days of commitment and discipline! Wohoo!
Day 7:
50 HIGH KNEES
20 JUMPING JACKS
5 SQUATS
3 ELBOW PLANKS of 10 seconds each
I have to say though, time is passing so quickly, I can’t believe its been 7 days! Feels like the third or fourth day only.
Today’s routine was slightly different. Partially because I was tired and stiff and partially because I wanted to evolve it so that it keeps being interesting.
I started off by doing a 10min stretching. It helped me ease into the exercising mind frame. Although the high-knees were exceptionally tough today. Maybe because I did them the right way by trying to make right angles with the knees/ making the thigh parallel to the ground.
At the end of the routine, I did three, 10sec elbow planks (since I’ve been talking about them for so long, I decided to finally add them to the routine). It was a great effort for me to do a plank for more than 5 seconds but I managed to touch the 10sec mark each time anyway.
Day 6:
10min STRETCHING
50x HIGH KNEES
20x JUMPING JACKS
5x SQUATS
3x ELBOW PLANKS (10sec each)

Nothing new in the routine from the previous days. However, today I didn’t feel like it was hard, in fact today exercising almost felt like second nature to me.
I have realized that I feel better when I have washed my face first and then had a few gulps of luke warm water before starting the routine.
Day 5 Routine:
20x JUMPING JACKS
50x HIGH KNEES
5x SQUATS
I think I can manage to increase my squats but squats build your quadriceps and I don’t want any bulk near my knees. So I am going to keep it at a lower number. Five is too low so I will increase them to ten and then keep em there. I know I need planks but I fear them because they are just so difficult in the start. Going to have to power through those planks though!
Today’s challenge was difficult to start because I was tired and exhausted when I woke up. But the only thing that kept me going was this blog. I had been going so good for the past three days that I didn’t want to disrupt the tempo. In this way the blog gives me a sense of accountability.
Today I did:
50x HIGH KNEES
20x JUMPING JACKS
5x SQUATS
I started off the challenge by 10x jumping jacks and 50x high knees.
Hi guys! Today I’m starting a 30 day challenge for exercising after I wake up in the morning.
My goal is to reach at least 40minutes of workout routine by the end of it. And what I want out of the routine is more energy for the rest of the day, a well-toned body, more stamina, and a habit of exercising daily.
Day 1:
Easy and simply because I don’t have any stamina right now. Gradually I’ll add more exercises.
50x HIGH KNEES
10x JUMPING JACKS
