Countdown to Summer CHALLENGE!

Thirteen weeks from Friday is the first day of summer, the longest day of the year, and my 10-year wedding anniversary. Thirteen weeks is really quite a long time. You can truly transform your body and improve your health significantly in thirteen weeks. I for one, would love to see these muscles I’ve been working so hard on, show themselves off a little more. I’d love to drop that last pesky 5 pounds, and more than anything, I’d love to lose those last two inches of fat that reside just below my belly button.
I’m taking it up a notch. Think of it as my mini-challenges on steroids… except they won’t really be on steroids because steroids aren’t good for you and we’re all about good health here
Requirements:
1) Commitment to exercise at least 45 minutes five days a week (can be broken up into two workouts).
2) Commitment to making good food choices and staying around your weekly calorie goals.
3) Weights. If you don’t have access to dumbbells, you can get creative with household items (water bottles, gallon of juice, canned goods), just make sure they weigh enough to be a challenge.
Here’s what to expect. Approximately 30 minutes of strength training + 15-30 minutes of cardio exercise 3 days a week. Approximately 45-60 minutes of cardio 2-3 days a week. Rest 1-2 days a week. I’ll still be posting mini-challenges 6 days a week, though it’s not required that you complete them to take part in this challenge.
Please let me know if you’re interested in getting on board. I’ll set up a group and we’ll get started on Friday.

You're goals sound exactly like mine, and your 1,2,3 is exactly what I'm doing currently. I'll join and hope I see some good results. I'm down for mini challenges and could always use help to stay focused on food goals, that's certainly my weakest spot.0
