I don't think this is too easy. This is six hours of high impact activity if you do the elliptical option which I will be doing. I decided to do this option because I would allow myself to be in a comfort zone if I did the light weight category because I have been exercising for a couple of months. I have never done more than one boxing and one zumba class in a week so this is going to be a REAL challenge! I haven't done a yoga class in over a year. Primarily because it kicked my butt...its hard holding those poses when you weigh 200 lbs. Nonetheless, I'm up for the challenge and this is just the motivation I need to get it done.

Like someone said earlier, I think I'll do this option because it is definitely out of my comfort zone. I'm so excited to start!

Long hectic weekend. And here it is Monday. Oh, I wanna just sleep a little while longer. I - MUST - GET - ON - THE - TREADMILL! And I did! 2 miles in 25 minutes, and now, hours later I feel great! I am excited to do this challenge, and if time allows, or on days I need something lighter, I can work on the lighter challenge.

Hope you all are doing great and feeling the excitement as well!! I need this badly!!

I have a question...does spinning count towards this more advance challenge?

Thanks!

I was also wondering if the elliptical (fairly fast and on level 2 or 3) counted as more advanced challenge.

Yush! 45 minutes of Zumba down this morning. Thanks for the tip about Yogadownload.com! Let's knock this challenge out the park!!!

I should have updated my exercise yesterday. Sorry, I forgot. I weighed in yesterday morning at 200lbs.Anyway, I did 5 miles on the elliptical. I was on the elliptical for 70 minutes on the aerobic level. I burned 698 calories. I will reply again this evening when I go to the gym.

I wasn't sure which challenge I was going to do...but I'll be aiming for the Advanced! It looks like this as of today:

140/240 minutes of Zumba, boxing or kickboxing (love Turbo Jam Punch, Kick & Jam!)
0/60 Yoga
2/5 Mile run

I will try to do the advanced challenge. I know though that spinning is apart of my normal workout routine for the week but I think I can incorporate some zumba and kickboxing...Time to work it out. Thanks for the help everyone.

Completed 1 mile on the treadmill and 30 minutes of zumba tonight. I am doing spin class tonight and hopefully can fit in yoga after that. Have a good day everyone!

183/240 minutes of Zumba, boxing or kickboxing (love Turbo Jam Punch, Kick & Jam!)
0/60 Yoga
4/5 Mile run

Loving the "push" this is making me do. I feel great, even though I have been fighting chest congestion through all of this!

230/240 Zumba / Kickboxing / Boxing
0/60 Yoga
4/5 Mile Run

I won't be winning anything since I don't do zumba or kickboxing. But it'll be great to have the challenge and be accountable anyway.

Status update, 9 - 13 December:
1. No kickboxing, etc. (2 hours kettlebells/strength training)
2. Yoga 120/60 minutes

Even though its extremely late/early in the morning I want to update my totals.
Friday night kickboxing at the Y from 6:10- 6:50 pm.
Then drove to my other gym Blast Fitness to do Zumba/Latin Dance from 7:15-8:15pm
My instructor offered me a banana which I gladly devoured because I was truly feeling it at the end of class.
