Spring into Fitness challenge!

It’s Move it Monday gang and there is a new twist. Spring is right around that corner so Workout Mommy is having a Spring Into Fitness Challenge! Anyone can play, so be sure to email this to all your friends and family.
Here is the plan:
Each Monday there will be a new exercise or workout, similar to previous Move it Monday posts. In order to play, you have to actually do the workout, (just like you do every week, right?) and then come back to the challenge post and tell me what you did or did not like about it.
The Spring into Fitness Challenge will end at midnight EST on Monday, March 31, 2008. This gives you FOUR solid workouts to help you spring into fitness! There will be no thinking involved, just wake up on Monday mornings to an excellent workout and get it done. No excuses!
Yes, there will be fun fitness prizes that are still to be determined. Be sure to play the entire four weeks to find out if you are a winner.
Are you ready to Spring into Fitness gang? Great, let’s get moving!
Challenge workout #1 is another card party:
- Get a deck of cards and grab about 20 cards. (less if you are a beginner, more if you need a bigger challenge.)
- Find an area of your house or yard where you can freely run from one end to the other.
- Distribute the cards face down at the opposite ends of the room or area.
- For example, I will use my driveway and I will put 10 cards (face down) at the end of the driveway and the other 10 face down by my garage.
- Red cards are squats kicks , black cards are forward lunges.
- Starting at one end of the room, grab a card and do what it says. (ex: red 3=three squat kicks)
- Run or briskly walk to the other side of the room and grab another card and do what it says. (ex: black king=10 forward lunges.)
- Keep repeating this until all cards are done!
- Remember to breathe, move fast, and have fun with it!
Once you are done, let your heart rate come down and enjoy some water.
Come back here and tell me how many cards you used and what you did or didn’t like about challenge workout #1.
Enjoy your energy gang and check back next Monday for the next Spring into Fitness workout!

Cool idea. Is there an alternative to the forward lunges? My knee is still a bit owie, so don’t want to stress it too much.
