SEPTEMBER FITNESS CHALLENGES

SEPTEMBER 2017

Let's go! One more month before we begin celebrating holidays. The special flavored treats are already on the shelves: pumpkin spice, cinnamon spice, Mexican chocolate, gingerbread, white chocolate peppermint, ugghhh . . . the list goes on & on.

I hit a plateau this month - actually, I finished the month 0.2 pounds heavier. I hate these times, we're so tied to our scales. Thank goodness I know that even if the scale doesn't move, I'm changing my body inside & out!

Are you ready? Let's get it!

We didn't do arms in August, so here goes . . .

If you're serious, join me every day!

As always, NO JUDGING; DO ONE OR ALL; TO JOIN TOUCH/HIGHLIGHT THE LITTLE STAR AT THE TOP RIGHT OF THE PAGE and please try to CHECK-IN DAILY!

Don't forget to weigh, measure & take lots of "before" pictures; share your stats if you like. Did you see/feel any changes in August? Yes, GREAT! No, well it's time to kick it up a notch.

See you tomorrow!

P.S.
A common question I'm asked is how do you log exercises that don't populate in MFP. I'm sure everyone has a system, but I time my exercises & then log the time under "Calisthenics" or "Circuit Training". If you have other methods, please share! Best wishes & GO GET YOUR GOALS!!!

    I'm in for all 3, though I'm pretty sure no matter how hard I try 5 min of plank straight isn't gonna happen!! :dizzy:

    I feel great after August's challenges and while my weight plateaued I know my core is stronger and my pants are fitting better.

    Hi everyone, I am signing up for all three. I must admit I am a little intimidated by a 5 min plank.

    Here's to an amazing September!


    Friday, day 1 complete!


    P.S.
    My Daily Workout was done with modifications. I have two bulging discs so no jumping for me. One foot on the floor at all times & I'm VERY careful when lifting weights. Do what works for YOU!

    40 crunches *
    10 triceps dips *
    20 side lunges (each side)*
    15 incline push ups*
    10 oblique crunches (each side)*
    30 butt kickers*
    15 jackknife sit ups*
    Planking 20 sec

    You will notice I omitted jumping jacks. The sad truth of the matter is that at 331.7 lbs, I am finding them much too painful. I find when I jump, my belly pulls down, and it feels painful.

    I'm in for planks. My wrists have been really sore lately so unfortunately the pressure on them from the push-ups and dips leaves me out of the complete arm challenge. I will hopefully be able to do the bicep curl/punches and change the dips to some other tricep exercise that puts less pressure on my wrists.
