    Okay guys sorry for the wait but here is the “90 days for a better you challenge”
    First and most important make sure that your healthy before you start this challenge, if you have any health issues please consult your doctor and ask for appropriate exercises…Also listen to your body… Don’t hurt yourself!

    Group Challenge: As a group let’s lose 2012 Pounds (or more) all together by the end of 90 Days.

    Main Challenge: Keep working out!!!!
    I’ll post a calendar to follow, but workout schedule for the first 3 weeks is as followed.
    Week One: Exercise 3 times a week for 20 to 30 minutes
    Week Two: Exercise 3 times this week for 30-45 minutes and 1 time 20-30 times this week.
    Week Three: Exercise 3 times this week for 30-45 minutes and 1 time 45-60 times this week.
    (Full 90 day Calendar will be up soon)

    Mini Challenge:
    Week One:
    20 reps - Jumping Jacks
    12 reps - Prisoner Squats
    15 reps - Pushups or Modified Pushups (on knees)
    12 reps per side - Forward Lunges
    10 reps - Stick-ups
    10 reps - Spiderman Climbs

    ~Description:
    Prisoner Squat:
    Stand with your hands behind your head, your chest out, and your elbows back. Sit back at your hips and bend your knees to lower your body as far as possible without losing the natural arch of your spine. Squeeze your glutes and push yourself back into the starting position.

    Forward Lunge:
    From a standing position, take a large step forward with one leg. When your front thigh is parallel to the floor and your back knee is off the floor, hold for 1 second. Return to the starting position and repeat with the opposite leg.

    Stick-up:
    Stand with your back against a wall, feet 6 inches from the wall. Stick your hands up overhead. Keeping your shoulders, elbows, and wrists in contact with the wall, slide your arms down the wall and tuck your elbows into your sides. Return to start.

    Spiderman Climb:
    Start in the top of a pushup position. Keep your abs braced, pick one foot up off the floor, and slowly bring your knee up outside of your shoulder and touch your foot to the ground. Slowly return your leg to the starting position.


    ~Guide lines:
    In order to maximize your results let’s give up or cut back on some of those things we love so much…
    Junk food – Cut out all Junk food but on those rare days that you do need some chips, only eat small portions, nothing bigger than your fist.

    Sodas and sugar drinks – Cut out all sodas and sugary drinks, not only is it empty calories but it not good for you. Drink plenty of water but if love your soda cut it down to one 8oz a day.

    Cut Back on Saturated Fats
    To get on track with a low-fat diet, begin by cutting down on saturated fats, including animal sources such as high-fat dairy and red meats. Eliminate hidden saturated fats such as hydrogenated oils found in processed foods. Eat more chicken and fish.

    Include Low-fat Dairy in Every Meal
    You don't have to cut out dairy entirely. Studies demonstrate that calcium helps to regulate the way fat cells store, build up and break down fat. Subsequently, low-fat dairy sources such as milk, yogurt and cottage cheese help promote weight loss. Choose low-fat (2%), not no-fat dairy.

    Vitamins
    Drink your Vitamins.


    ~Extra Dr. Oz’s 3 Breakthrough Belly Blasters
    To help you blast away unwanted belly fat, try these top three super foods. They’re inexpensive and can be eaten any time of day.

    1. Goldenberries
    A bright yellow fruit from Brazil, the goldenberry is loaded with B vitamins that are essential for maintaining a healthy metabolism. While they’re sold fresh, goldenberries are easier to find in dried form and are available at health food stores or online for about $12. Eat ¼ cup daily.

    2. Miso
    Miso, the Japanese staple made from fermented soybeans, rice and/or barley, lowers triglycerides in the blood that contribute to belly fat. You can purchase instant miso soup in supermarkets for about $3 per package. Be sure to purchase the low-sodium variety.

    3. Sauerkraut
    Unprocessed fermented food like sauerkraut contains bacteria that boosts digestion and reduces belly inflammation. Instead of eating it on a hot dog, try sauerkraut with turkey on whole-grain bread. Aim to eat 3 teaspoons daily. Purchase canned sauerkraut for about $1. Be sure to rinse it before eating or buy the low-sodium kind.

    Rules:
    • Pay attention to your body.
    • Keep using your MyFitnesspal calorie counter, keep track of what you eat and don't go over : )
    • If you fall off the wagon or mess up, get back on and keep going. One day of being bad isn’t going to mess everything up.
    • If you need support email or post. We are here to help!
    • And most important Have Fun!

    I'll be putting up a website with all the info and other great info on weight lost.

    Let's start 2012 with a blast!
