week #7: Weekly Challenge! Make It Happen!

Wow! I can't believe that its been almost 2 months of challenges already! How are you doing with these challenges?  What do you think about them?  I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions about them and really I want the good with the not so good. So, let me know what you think. 



I hope that every one's week is going well and that the weekend holds nothing but great things!  So, for the next 7 days, here is what I have planned for you to include into your routine.  Ready?

First and foremost, I want there to be at least 1 serving of vegetables with EVERY meal.  Now, if you are eating 5-6 times a day you might think that its hard but really it is so easy to just add a serving of vegetables.  Add 10 baby carrots to a snack, add 1/2 cup of mixed veggies with your eggs in the morning, have a small salad with lunch and/ or dinner, etc.  If you guys ever need help with ideas and placement of foods let me know and I will help you out where you need it.

Ok, for the second part of this, daily you will complete:
1) 1 Max plank hold.  (try and beat the time you got from the day before every time!)
2) 50 lunges (any kind and 50 total reps)
3) 2 sets of 30 seconds each of: Mt. Climbers and Jumping Jacks. (A total of 2 minutes of extra cardio. YAY!)

And remember, (taking from the quote above) don't just talk about it, think about it, or dream about it, be about it. What you want, dream, talk and think about can be yours but you have to take action.  Start today, you can do it!

Week Challenge #6: Show Me The Reps!

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE!!!

I hope that you all had a wonderful Easter! It was a beautiful weekend here in Oregon City, OR. The sun was out and shining bright.  It was a great weekend to be out and about.  Hopefully, you all had just as great of weather and time this holiday.

This weeks challenge is a bit of a different set up.  We are going to do a total of reps for four exercises for the whole week.  So, for 7 full days you need to get a total of:

300 Squats
200 Crunches
100 Push ups
50 Burpees 

Good luck with this weeks challenge.  I know you guys will do a great job.  I would love to hear how you all are doing.  Keep me informed on your success!
