Hello again! It is week 2 already! Hopefully we have been doing well with these challenges!
Weekly Challenge 2
Jog for at least 10 minutes a day...
This doesn't matter if it's on the spot or outside! Just think it's only 10 minutes!
You would spend 10 minutes slouched in front of the television or you could jog in front of it for just those 10 minutes!
This is only if your up for it! Even doing it for 5 minutes then having a rest or doing something else then another 5 minutes already contributes to those 10 mins!
I'm not being pushy or forcing you to but at least have a go! It makes me proud if you have a go, even if you fail, you tried!
Daily challenge 2 (of the week, you only do this once!)
Do 20 sit-ups.
Okay so before some of you back out this is the way I would do this...
6:00 PM (EST) 5 sit-ups
7:00 PM (EST) 5 sit-ups
8:00 PM (EST) 5 sit-ups
9:00 PM (EST) Last 5 sit-ups.
If you do this, be proud!
I don't think 5 sit-ups over 4 hours are that hard. Or 2 hours if you do it every 30 mins!
Have a go and let me hear how you go on!
If you really can't for some reason, don't worry! This is just for fun and motivation!

I can't do 10 minutes everyday (too much sweat hahaha) ...but I'll be sure to do over 70 minutes during my 3 times a week workouts when I want to be covered in sweat!
haha
sit-ups are killer! nice challenge!0 -
Not sure if I'll do the jogging. It is way too cold out and I have no where in my house to jog! But I am going to do the sit ups. Actually I think I'll try for 40 a day since I won't be jogging...0

Nice Challenge set!
I just did the sit ups/abs (instead of doing 20/day, I did it as 100 at once twice a week, hopefully counts)
And I haven't been very good at doing the 10 minutes of jogging, but I did 50 minutes of elliptical andwill be sure to do the jogging tomorrow!
Also, very good motivation and recipes. I needed the motivation this week 0
