    Welcome @Lauratwest and @carwilde

    Personally I aim to do cardio every weekday and then take it a little easier on the weekend, but that's just what works best for my schedule.

    I am in a horrible rut! I mostly just go to spin classes. But at the moment it's working for me. I am trying to fit in a few minutes of strength before the spin classes, but often it doesn't happen because of my work schedule.

    This challenge is great because it keeps you doing SOMETHING which is better than NOTHING every day.

    Hello everyone. I’d like to join this challenge.

    After losing 118 lbs over the past year, I’m trying to slowly shift my goal from losing weight to continuing to improve my overall fitness. I started a different strength training program this week with a goal of sticking with it for at least 100 straight days. I’ll attempt to log my progress here.

    This was my fourth day, so I’ll add all four days on this entry.

    Day 1. Strength Training-60min.
    Day 2. Strength Training-30 min and Walk-30 min.
    Day 3. Abs-10 min, Cardio -20min and Walk-40 min.
    Day 4. Strength Training-40 min and Walk-30 min.

    @GW4321 - congrats on the 118 lb weight loss - that is impressive!

    I have lost the most critical weight - I am down to being overweight and not obese now - and would also like to work on improving strength and fitness. My core needs some attention - it's a constant battle with the busyness of life to fit something new in. I do find thought that once I have started doing something new (got over the hump of figuring it out) I can incorporate those things quite well. My gym (Good Life - I'm in Canada) has a 30 minute core workout class that I am trying to get to at some point soon.

    Fitness blender, check them out online! SO many awesome routines. I've exercised 260 days in a row now (Completed this challenge twice consecutively), I just make sure to read my body and alternate what I'm doing. So if I do legs one day, I do something else the next. If I'm feeling really fatigued, I give a day of stretching and some walking.

    I will be going back to day one, but it's not really day one because I have benefited from each of the three tries at getting to 100.

    I was at a client Christmas party on Friday - I had a lovely time, gained 3 lbs (not sure how!) and failed to work out the next day :blush: . But it's still all good, because life isn't perfect and I'm not perfect and I still had 55 days of working out daily before that. I'm not sure if I will restart today or just wait until tomorrow - it's remarkably cold here so just leaving the house is a challenge.

    Hope everyone else is doing GREAT and having FUN with it :smile:

    I'm in! Will get in 30 mins on the stationary bike before bed tonight. Seems crazy that I'll sit on the couch and watch TV for hours and not just use my exercise bike while watching.
