This is the end of a pretty good week. I am feeling pretty good overall. Today I am challenging myself with Zuzana's Bodyrock.tv workout Sumo Squat Step Up Challenge! I know this is gonna hurt!
I slept amazingly well last night. Went ot bed at 10:30 and slpet until 6:30 am. I did awake a few times and was having odd dreams, but it felt so good to sleep!
Awoke: 6:30 am - 8 hours sleep!

Sumo Squat Step Up Exercise Challenge
Workout Breakdown
Time: ?min.
Workout Type: exercise challenge
Exercises: 1
Okay, this was a tough one but not impossible or as bad as I thought it would be!
Completion Time: 22:53 to complete the entire 200 reps (100 reps per leg).
I followed the Sumo Challenge with 20 reps on the Ab Wheel.
I was not trying to speed through this, just be sure to have good form and squat low, step up properly on the chair and lower myself gently so I would not put excess strain on my joints. I could really feel this by rep # 50 on each leg, but I just kept at it.
Note: I thought I had done well with this until I read other Bodyrockers posts. Zuzana did this in about 18 minutes, Freddy did it in about 15+ minutes and some bodyrockers did it in 14 mins or less. I will say that I did NOT compromise form in any way. My Sumo Squats were very low and I really pressed myself to push out of the squats and feel the burn. I could have gone faster, but then I wouldn't have squatted as low. Just wondering if the other Bodyrockers compromised some form to beat Zuzana's numbers?
