Hey everyone! Let's keep up with our exercise with a new challenge through Christmas. Set your own personal fitness goals and check-in here daily to let us know what you've done!

My new goals are:
30 min cardio at least 6x/week
strength & conditioning at least 4x/week

I know, I know. I couldn't even keep up to the 3x/week strength & conditioning I wanted to do the last challenge - I'm going to try REALLY hard to get something going here. I have to wear a 'sexy' dress to a party on the 8th so I really want to focus on my arms and shoulders for the next few weeeks at least. Hold me accountable, PLEASE?!?

+++POSITIVE THOUGHTS+++!!! :flowerforyou:

    Deanea ~ Here on the Fitness & Exercise Board I will post a daily thread for you to check in to let us know how you did the day before (or some people post how they did that day). If you didn't do anything you don't have to check in or you can just to say hi... You can peek back at the daily check-ins for the Thanksgiving Challenge if you want to see the kind of things people checked in with.

    Anyway, looks like we have some new people this time around - Welcome!
    I'll *see* you all tomorrow!

    I'm in again! My goal is a 4 lbs loss by Christmas.
    My challenge is to:
    4 X hard cardio
    3 X strength
    2 X mellow cardio
    1 X yoga
    My other challenge is on yoga day to just do yoga. I my hardest challenge is overeating, so I've been exercising so hard to make up the calories.

    Oh, I love the "hard" and "mellow" cardio! I think that's what I've been doing, now I know what to call it.

    So,
    3 hard cardio
    3 strength
    2 dance (mellow cardio)
    2 yoga

    I would also like to be able to up my weights for strength training to 10-15 pounds, up from my current 8. I'm trying to lower my body fat percentage, and try not to worry about my weight number. (my goal weight keeps getting lower, but I think what I need to do is add muscle)

    I am going home soon and I am not registered with any gym there so I will try to keep to:

    30 mins jogging/ speed-walking 5 times a week. (the most days that I will cut from this is 2, so a minimum of 3 days exercise)

    I will also squeeze in Taebo twice a week.

    My birthday is on Christmas day, so....gotta look fly!:wink:

    ok I am 21 and 5'3' and I weigh 161. I want to be 155 by Christmas. I am pretty good about going to the gym 3x a week so I dont have to worry about that. But I would like to be able to go from running on the treadmill for 15 min to 20 min by Christmas.
