GET YOUR DAILY AMOUNT OF VITAMIN C. IT INCREASES YOUR ABILITY TO FORM OPTIMAL BONE STRENGTH. YOU CAN GET IT BY EATING CITRUS FRUITS, TOMATOES, POTATOES, CAULIFLOWER, BROCCOLI, STRAWBERRIES AND MORE.
THE CHALLENGE TODAY IS STRETCHING. I KNOW WE ARE SUPPOSED TO STRETCH AFTER WE EXERCISE BUT LETS FOCUS ON IT SO WE KNOW HOW WE ARE SUPPOSED TO STRETCH WITHOUT HURTING OURSELVES.
PLEASE CHOOSE ONE FROM CORE, UPPER BODY AND LOWER BODY AND STRETCH
HAVE A GREAT THURSDAY

TODAY IS STAY AWAY FROM CAFFEINE DAY. CAFFEINE CAN ROB YOUR BODY OF CALCIUM. YOU CAN FIND CAFFEINE IN COFFEE, TEA AND SODA.
IF FOR SOME REASON YOU JUST CANNOT STAY AWAY THEN AT LEAST LIMIT YOURSELF TO 300 MG OR LESS.
FOR EXERCISE LETS WORK ON OUR CORE - SO CRUNCHES ANY WAY YOU CAN. TRY FOR AT LEAST 3 SETS OF 15 EACH. YOU CAN SPREAD THEM THROUGHOUT THE DAY IF YOU PREFER. DON'T FORGET TO STRETCH AFTER.
MAYDAY AND SUNDAY - TODAY IS A REST DAY, HOWEVER THERE IS A CHALLENGE.
TAKE YOUR STARTING WEIGHT AND MEASUREMENTS AND ENSURE YOU GET ENOUGH CALCIUM EVERY DAY THIS MONTH. MOST ADULTS NEED 1,000 TO 1,200 MG EACH DAY.
HAPPY MAY DAY

So I am not sure how many people followed along in the April challenge, so I thought the May one would take on a slightly different tact. I am going to incorporate the 31 days to Stronger Bones from the SparkPeople calendar so I hope you join along.
FORUM: 
TOPIC: 
I can't do the challenge today. Leg and medical problems have done me in today! But, I'm ready to try one tomorrow!
