Now that we've set all of goals for the year and for the coming months, let's get to work! This week, you get to design your own workout, for the gym, for home or for outside. It's completely up to you, but here's where your creativity steps in! Using the following breakdown, fill in the specifics of how you'll put it to work every day this week.
Remember to use words like seconds, minutes, times, sessions, lbs, rotations and other descriptors to set your parameters. Think about it, formulate your plan and then put it to work. MAKE IT FUN!
Here's my example:
10 minutes of dancing to music
8 minutes of walking in place
6 times of skipping from kitchen to bedroom
4 jumping jacks and
2 deep breaths
Announce your plan on Sunday...see what you can come up with and report in daily about how it's going and include any change you've made. You guys are MUCH MORE creative than I am, so I can't wait to see what you do with it! Have a great, creative and active week!

My husband made a huge pot of Bolognese soup with tons of veg, so my vegetable goal is easy to reach this week. I've also eaten bananas, avocados, cherries, blueberries and raisins for the fruit goal.
Each day, I've been outside and walked for more than 40 minutes overall, so the 4x10mins is covered.
The stretch, flex, strength and self-care is less impressive. I've done bits here and there but haven't been fully committed to the goals I set.

This was a tough week with my leg swelling, but I made it through...and I nailed all of my other categories, but couldn't do the extra walking. I definitely walked around through the building at work and guarantee that it equalled more than 10 minutes, but it wasn't 10 min dedicated just to walking, if that makes any sense, so I didn't count it. Didn't set my watch for a walking category, but the restroom is on the other side of the building, so I have to leave the department, cross the lobby to the end of the hall at least 4 times during the day...that would have been over ten minutes...plus visiting other departments for tech stuff. I guess it's the principle of the thing!
In reading all of comments, it appears everyone had a fairly good week...glad this challenge has helped you guys! I certainly got more veggies and fruit this week. And the stress relief and deep breathing helped with pain management too.
