Hello,

I have to admit I am getting a little discouraged with groups where members appear to be inactive, so maybe a February Challenge where we check-in weekly if not daily will help build some camaraderie and support.

Since each person has their own workout routine, I think choosing your own challenge for the month would work best.

Mine will be to do some sort of strength exercise 5 days a week, I really need to develop a plan for that and incorporate it into my workout routine. I will rotate arm and leg exercises while still getting in some cardio.

Any takers? :smile:

    Hi. I'm all for it. My challenge for the month of February:
    Will be to walk 5 miles a day
    Drink 64 oz. of water
    No sodas
    Loss 8lbs.
    My biggest challenge is to get all of my steps (12,000) in every day.

    Hopefully we will all do well with the checking as well.


    Good luck to everyone.

    Hello everyone!

    We are a week into February, how is everyone doing with your challenge?

    I have been doing some strength training, doing squats, dead leg lifts, sexy arm workout, and I have changed up my cardio workouts by doing some structured workouts. They were a real challenge at first, especially since I had to watch my time to make the necessary adjustments so no reading or playing games on my phone :happy:

    I would say it was a success because I lost 1.6 lbs. this week.

    Check in, so we can keep supporting each other!

    Hey Eternal, I'm doing JM Body revolution & Fitbit Force as well! I started last Wednesday so I'm just a few days behind you. This is week 2 for me and I completed my 2nd work out for the week this morning.

    I'm not giving myself a weight goal, since my body has a mind of its own no matter what I do so I'm sticking to things I can control, like my effort, which will include:

    250,000 steps in February - Ithink I need to up that to 280,000 to keep up with Ms. Eternal here
    Also stay on schedule in JM Body Revolution

    Let's go!

    Here is where I am so far

    Hi! Those are great goals. I finished my workout 2 video for the last time this morning. Next week I start workout 3 and 4. I know the intensity jumps a lot next week but I am going to give it my all. I hope we can keep each other motivated with this and our steps. My Zumba workouts gives me major calorie burn and tons of steps. It is a great cardio compliment to the Body Revolution.

    I'm late on this, but my Feb goal is to become a stronger runner and drink more water ( 1 glass an hour). I have intentions on running a half marathon in May and I am not a strong runner at all. So the other half of my goal is to find a training plan that I can stick to and build me up to the 13.1 miles I need to finish the run and in a decent time.

    I did my measurements last night. I lost 1.6 lbs last week and 6.125 inches. Therefore, I say I am declaring last week a success. I really need to focus more on eating healthier by cutting back on the bread this week.

    Good Afternoon Ladies! I'm just joining as well and am glad to be part of this group. My February goal is to complete Jillian Michaels' "30 Day Shred" workouts 4 days per week and run 2-5 miles 3 days per week, in accordance with a Half-Marathon training plan. I'm currently on Week 2 of the "30 Day Shred". Best wishes to all of you in your endeavors!

    Which half marathon training plan are you using? My local running groups have already started training for our upcoming marathon in May, so I am on my own. It's my first one so I am getting guidance from different ppl, but i need a program. The only one that I have found is the Hal Hidgon program. Will this be your first half marathon?
