Beginner's Challenge November

newmrswood

So I noticed people are doing challenges to get motivated and support eachother, so I thought I'd do one too. I decided to make it simple for people who are just starting or who are having trouble getting their butts moving (ME!) This challenge will start today November 1st, and end November 30th! Now I'm ok with people starting anytime throughout the month, but you have to give it your all and we have to help cheer eachother on! Now here's our challenge

40 Miles
300 Crunches
300 Push ups
300 Lunges
300 Squats

That's the total amount to do this month, 40 miles is 10 miles a week (2 miles for five days!) That seems pretty simple!
Now we'll post in here on saturday our totals from the week! WHO'S IN?!?!?

lol I'm not a beginner either, I'm just lazy and the only thing that makes me do something is getting other people to do it too

Started working out this morning! A friend told me about this site...i accept your challenge! I plan to complete this goal...as long as my legs come back from the "jelly leg" feeling!! lol it!

40 Miles...will be a sinch (i think)!
300 Crunches...ill do my best!
300 Push ups...---my only downfall. i cant do push ups to save my life. i will probably trade those out for dumbbell curls!
300 Lunges....doable!
300 Squats ....hope my legs dont buckle!!

Trybdoing push ups with your knees on the floor, easier and doable but still work your chest x

I am in, too!

I like the breakdown as well. Makes it seem a lot more realistic/achievable.

I am just seeing this thread so I have some catching up to do w/ the exception of the walking. I do get on the treadmill every morning before work and usually manage to get in about 2.25 miles (fast paced walk).

I will work on catching up on the rest this weekend. Wish me luck! LOL

110 pushups, 20 crunches,16 squats,... pretty good start i think...
