    Hey folks! I'm excited to start this challenge, particularly the weekly goals to get me pumped up!

    My name is Jenn, I'm 24 and going back to school full time this fall to finish a bachelor's degree I've been working on for about 3 years part-time. My starting weight is 165. I'd be happy to see 145ish because that's about where I was when I was training for a half marathon I finished in April 2011 and I looked awesome!

    Looking forward to getting to know and supporting all of ya!

    -Jenn

    You can add it toyour favorite in Internet explorer - that's how I keep up with threads I find interesting saves me from having to search for it OR go back through my updates. If you need help adding it just let me know :)

    HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Our first weekly challenge is to work out AT LEAST 5 times this week for a minimum of 30 minutes each time. We can't forget to doing resistance training/ toning so we need to make at least 2 of those workouts resistance/weight training or toning exercises. (If you are already doing this then your challenge is to maintain the time while increasing your effort!)

    The second part of the challenge is to drink at least 8 glasses of water each day. When you increase your exercise your muscles will try to retain water. Making sure you are hydrated will help counteract that!


    Good luck everyone! :)

    Kelleman1,

    I don't know if you're a member of a gym or not, but if you are, I'd start with the weight machines. You can do 2-3 exercises for each muscle group for a total body workout, taking at least 60 seconds rest between sets and about a minute and a half rest between muscle groups. If a total-body seems overwhelming, concentrate your sessions on one muscle group at a time. I have a trustworthy diet & exercise book that suggests breaking your sessions into upper body (chest, shoulders, back, triceps, biceps) and lower body (quadriceps, hamstrings, calves), then doing core exercises after your lower body segment.

    If you're not a member of a gym, I'd recommend doing calisthenic-type stuff like push-ups, tricep bench dips, crunches, etc. The forums around here contain a lot of different exercises to get you going. Good luck and this challenge is going to be great! Thanks for hosting.

    startign weight for todat officially sept. 1 is . . .259.3, three pounds down from a couple days ago! So excited for the first new challenge, I don't use weights because I work with my own body weight (that alone is like lifting weights) but I do toning exercise with my own body weight, can't wait to meet this first challenge of 5X a week! Big change from my 3X a week. good luck, hope everyone is losers!
