    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!

    I'm raring to go -Wanna try and burn 2lb per week for the period - thats 1000 cals per day total deficit - should be possible with a lot of hard work and watching what to eat. I'm planning to add people as well. Please don't be afraid not to accept though as I know we all do this differently. I think integrating ourselves in the group can and will really help motivate us. 3 months to make a big impact on our lives for now and for the future - we can do it :-)

    I just barely joined myfitnesspal to keep track of food/exercise and use the blog space for tracking my journey to health and wellbeing. I thought this would be a supportive group as well because it gives me a goal to shoot for, and Christmas is a good target point! If I don't post often don't think I have given up because I won't. Thanks for this group to join. Add me to your friend list. I am only using my PC because I only have a Nook Tablet and the app is not on it. No IPad or IPhone yet here.
