    YESS! so happy to be part of this challenge. Generally I am the most unhappy in the winter, despite all the wonderful holidays. I gain weight and hate myself in all the family pictures, so this year I can't wait for it to be different! I want to look great in Christmas pictures and working out will hopefully help beat the blues that I sometimes experience due to the dark weather and cold.
  • Let's do it!

  • Starting the Sept 30DS Challenge tomorrow but looking for a longer challenge so this sounds great to me, I'm in! Finding the motivation has always been a struggle for me so I'm looking forward to the motivation of you all and being able to provide it to other in return. :)

    During the fall and winter I tend to pack on the pounds. And I get annoyed with the beginning of the new year, getting healthier is being promoted as a new years resolution, then the spring you have to have a summer ready body. No I want to CONTINUE being healthy so I don't have a crunch time for the body i want. So yeah I'm joining!

    I will be doing a mish mosh of activities throughout the challenge because I get bored quickly. Here are some of the things I will be doing:

    Bob Harper Kettlebell Cardio Shred (LOVE!!! better than JM30DS)
    Elliptical
    Treadmill
    Walk/Run
    100's workout - see below

    100 Jumping Jacks (Wide arms- works chest)
    90 Crunches
    80 Squats (With or without weights)
    70 Leg Lifts (Floor and/or Hanging)
    60 Jumping Jacks (Wide arms- works chest)
    50 Crunches
    40 Squats (With or without weights)
    30 Leg Lifts (Floor and/or Hanging)
    20 Jumping Jacks (Wide arms- works chest)
    10 Minute Walk/Run/Jog (any cardio...run in place...NO EXCUSES)
    Take 5 Stretch and Breathe!

    • Floor and hanging leg lifts can be done using a 5lb medicine ball for more advanced workout.
    • Don't use too heavy a weight when doing weighted squats. Back should remain erect and knees don't go over toes. Too heavy a weight compromises form which causes injury.
    • Wide arm jacks - hold your palms out facing forward instead of overhead jacks. Engages your chest for an added bonus.
    • ALWAYS, ALWAYS keep your core tight!
