    I'm fighting a neck/shoulder injury but with a few revisions to my routine, I promise to work out for at least 20 mins each day this week!

    I promise to go to the gym everyday for the remainder of this week and participate in TRX, sculpting class or I will row. Today is the first day I have been back to the gym since last Thursday. My attendance has been so poor lately. Hopefully this challenge will encourage me!
  • I have a horrific cold this week, but have been forcing myself to take the stairs at work and try to do more light walking. :(

    I promise to workout for at least 30 mins a day all week (which should be easy since I normally workout everyday for an hour or more)

    I promise to walk for twenty minutes during my lunch hour and starting april 1 I will add insanity 6 days a week. I'm going to be hurting the good type of pain.

    that's great, i'm doing turbo fire and i love it, I want to do insanity next when I'm done turbo fire. I will be texting you to make sure your on track with your walking and workouts :)

    I promise to workout for at least 20 minutes a day as well... as soon as I finish this mountain of homework. :) Seriously though. Tonight will probably be a late workout for me but I will do it. :D

    I have severe anemia and it is easy to overexert myself. But I am trying to become more active and I promise to workout at least three times this week.
  • I promise to work out at least 30 minutes a day. Doing either 0 to 5K or Jillian Michaels Body Revolution. Yesterday I did JM and today the 0 to 5K. I work out for an hour with a personal trainer on Fridays.

    I have severe anemia and it is easy to overexert myself. But I am trying to become more active and I promise to workout at least three times this week.

    So do I...

    However, i have pushed through it. It's been very tough at times when I've been very tired and weak but I keep telling myself to push through it and I say that it's a mind game even though I know part of it is my anemia. I always feel better after I'm done even though at times I just wanna plop down on the couch but know I can't especially if I'm at the gym which is about 45 minutes away from home! hahaha

    On top of my anemia (which I do take meds for ~ and have had to have iron transfusion), I also have no thyroid which only ADDS to the weakness and tiredness. So trust me when I say that I can TOTALLY relate!

    Point being, it may not be easy, but it can be done. :flowerforyou:

    I promise to do two days of strength training to add to the 45 min. alternate fast/slow walk I've been doing on my treadmill 5 times a week.

    I commit to the following for not only this week but for the remainder of this challenge:

    ~ No soda (I'm a month soda free!)
    ~ At least 1 20+ minute walk with the dog
    ~ Up my water intake, it's getting better but still not as good as it could be
    ~ Do the flippin' Burpees that my trainer gave me as homework.
    ~ Hit the gym for at least 30 minutes at least 3 days a week.


    So far this week....

    ~I'm still soda free!
    ~Water I'm struggling with but I will get the minimum in today for sure
    ~ Have been on 1 39 minute walk with my dog

    Good luck everyone!

    Love this. Love a challenge. I train every day of the week anyway at the least 30 minutes every day but often more. I was a little discouraged this morning when I weighed myself and had had a gain despite being really good and having the odd chocolate/candy but have been working out like mad. I can only guess that its my time of the month as it is due next week and I often gain before and during. All I can do is continue to workout the way I am and I will record my weight honestly on Monday.

    Well I would like to make a few promises to myself. I promise to only have chocolate/candy once a week as it is my biggest weakness. I promise to train every day at least 20 mins either walking, Zumba, 30DS or strength training. One step at a time. If I can get out of the habit of having chocolate in the evening I'm flying. xx
