Hi CBDB and was wondering if the 30 day yoga with Adrienne can be counted for the 30D challenge as I did that this year January 2023 or is it challenges a. I do from now onwards so I can get the badge next yearI love the sound of these badges and when I get home I need to start the one for the graduate as TheTabbyCat has recommended those exercises and I love how they sound

Nice one Wine, you'll probably complete them in 5 weeks,as I'm repeating weeks, it's taking me double time, but hey I'm still enjoying it. I'm just 7 benchdips away from finishing level 4 🤣🤣🤣

CBDBAdministratorGraduate Gold in reply to TheTabbyCat

The bench dips are such a milestone, so it was so awesome to read that you managed a few of them! That’s huge progress, both in strength, as well as body confidence!! It certainly was that for me, so I can completely understand the feeling of achievement!!!

Rock on!

I am so chuffed... I can't wait to start on working on the strength exercises and see how I get on... I love how you think I will not need to repeat... I will see.... I liked how you repeated as it really helped you and I can see that in your posts and I want that tooHave a gorgeous day the sun is out 😁

Wine, I repeated when there were a couple of things I got stuck on. The 1st was the standing push ups,pull ups, I couldn't find anywhere to do them, I finally thought of the bedroom window frame which is chest height. The 2nd was the squats, I could only do 5 at first. When I'm happy with level 4, including the benchdips, I'll listen to level 5. You'll fly through, you're much fitter than me 💪👏

Hello!!! You are the first one (in recent years) to be awarded a badge! The January YWA journey certainly counts for a 30D Graduate badge! Well done! You should see it now beside your name when you are on the S&F forum!

I’m just as excited to be awarding our new badges! 😃😃😃😃👏👏👏👏👍🏽
