Dears Save the Pears

This topic is the continuation of following disscsussion thread

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/372836-dears-pls-help-the-pears

Thanks CricketKate for suggesting the name but I added dear coz I like the rhyming part:)

About the challenge:

You can gothrough the above thread, ill summerize that as this:

Its for pear shaped ladies only!

I know pear shape is feminine but only if it is slender, gigantic can not be an adjective for feminity

I know very well that we cant spot reduce but there are so many workout dvds in the market related to lower body.

Philosophy: Cardio + circuit training with a lot of plyometrics and kickboxing for lower body. Alternating both to give restto workied on muscle every other day.

C25K+Jillian Micheals Killer Buns and thighs.

C5K is 3days/week so for the other 3 days JMKBnT ofcourse we haveto save the pears and flaunt this classy body shape.

By the end of 8 weeks of C25K ull be able to run and quite a inch loss from lower body.

Fantastic! I'll see you tomorrow!

dont forget to update on c25k sub-challenge page

dexters_dexterity

ok guys that may sound crappy but im very frustrated and had to kill my time, so i worked on an excel sheet and calculated how many miles can be covered in this c25k challenge.

so i used 5mph for run, 4mph for walk and 3 mph for warm and cool down and used the posted schedule.

results:63 miles approx

so u can put the miles ticker too

CricketKate

I tried the c25k today. I only did 20 minutes total because I was very full from lunch and thought I was going to throw up. I was doing it last week, so I know that I can do it.

CricketKate

Have you tried the JM workout yet? I am so embarrassed. I tried it for the first time today. I fell flat on my face before I had finished the first circuit. I may have to work my way up to doing the whole workout.:blushing:
