June Daily Challenge

So I've decided to do a little challenge during the month of June. I got this idea from my sister who did a day of the month exercise/activity challenge back in February.
The idea is to do the exercise / activity the number of times (or minutes) to correspond to the day of the month. So by the end of June I would be doing 30 of whatever exercise I chose. Now I am just trying to decide what move to do. My thought so far include push-ups, burpees, minute(s) of situps or planks. Any suggestions?

Another "blog worthy" day at boot camp

Today's boot camp workout was "Lucky 7's"...although I'm not sure how "lucky" anybody was.
7 Plank Pushups
7 Tuck Jumps
7 Inch Worms
7 Squats
7 Sit-ups
7 Reverse Lunges (each leg)
7 Burpees
(Repeat entire cycle 7 times)
Go!

Boot Camp Workout

Never, in a million years, did I think I would be doing a blog entry about a workout I completed. However, I just want to document that I actually did this, and also remember it so I can do it again. (Did I really just say that?!?)
Last Friday's boot camp workout was hard (for me). I felt it the rest of the weekend. But I also felt proud of myself for doing it, and a little piece of me hopes we do it again sometime. (Maybe not today!) Here's what we did:
10 x each of the following things:
-Push ups -Squats -Reverse curls (with weights - I used 5 pounds) -Bounce jacks (jumping jacks bouncing a stability ball) -Pike/Planks -Jumping lunges -Burpees -Mountain climbers -Tricep lifts -Sumo squat kicks
Repeat entire cycle 5 times.
That might not sound like much to some people, but it took me almost the entire 30 minutes, and I moved the entire time. But I did it.
By the way...I have now lost a total of 13.6 pounds.
