You can earn a point for each challenge that you complete this week. There are 5 challenges, so 5 possible bonus points for the week.
#1. Go without processed sugar for a day. Here's an article on sugar, if you're interested.
#2. Try something new. Do a physical activity that you haven't before or try a new recipe. Have you never tried yoga? Or Zumba? Haven't given quinoa a shot? This is your week! Post what you tried in the comments of the post. Maybe you'll inspire someone else with an idea of what to try.
#3. Do 350 pushups this week. Break it up and do 50 a day, or do all 350 at once. However you want to get them in is fine. You choose.
#4. Improve your balance. Do this video two times this week. It will be most effective with a medicine ball, but if you don't have one and don't want to come to my house to borrow mine, just do it without it. As we get older, balance becomes increasingly important to maintain.
#5. Stretch. Spend at least 30 minutes this week stretching. If you are just working out and not keeping limber, you'll be more likely to get injured.
Now get out there and have a great week!
My week went well. Not perfect, but much improved. Thanks so much Shauna. I'm having a ton of fun! Here's to another new week!
ReplyDeleteAt the beginning of last week I hurt so good! I'm doing great with the exercise, its just that I can't stick to eating good on a regular basis. I'm determined to get better without it being the center of my existence! Thank you for the motivation!
ReplyDeleteI thought I was doing awesome until it's Saturday night and I realize I did everything, but not fully. Lots of little bits here and there. I'm happy about it though, because that means I'm making changes for the better.
ReplyDeleteI did manage to get the 350 pushups in, although I had a hard time finishing up today after getting a tetanus shot. (yeouch) I thought about stretching all week, but never actually got around to it. And the balance exercises. Thought about doing those, too. Next week is going to be the best yet. I feel like Shannon in that I'm doing great with exercise, but the eating is still hit and miss. I'm hoping to have a perfect eating week this week (or close to it). If anyone has challenge ideas, feel free to send them to me. I'm open to suggestions.
