Anyone interested in a 30 day challenge?

I figure we could put our heads together and come up with a challenge. One rest day a week... Thinking 2 legs/core days, 2 arms/back days, and 2 20 min hiit session days. Anyone down? This is the number one way to get me to do something. A challenge.

What does hiit stand for...I'm guessing High Intensity something....Interval Training?0

That is correct! From what I've read its the only exercise your body doesn't get used to so no plateaus and just 20 minutes is super effective.0

28 day challenge!!
Monday/Thursday (core & arms)
-warm up 5 minutes
-30 Russian twists (
-10 push-ups
-20 vertical leg crunches
-40 mountain climbers
-10 tricep dips
-40 bicycles
-10 incline push-ups
* do workout 3x
Tuesday/Friday (legs, butt, & back)
-warm up 5 minutes
-30 squats
-30 second plank

Could not find back exercises without equipment so if you have an exercise ball go to this link for the back workout.

Wednesday/Saturday (HIIT)
-warm up 5 minutes
- 20 seconds Sprint, 10 seconds recovery. Repeat for 20 minutes.
This can be done on treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike, running outside
or as I will be doing it in my living room, I'm alternating jumping jacks,
high knees, butt kicks, and mountain climbers.
Sunday (rest day)
This is it guys! I'm starting this tomorrow and hope you guys will join me!
Hopefully we can report back daily or weekly to discuss how we feel about it, questions, concerns,
motivation, etc!0 -

Im going to give it my best shot...I am pretty out of shape, so hopefully I can do all of it (recently Ive just been walking). Also, I have Finals this week, and I know it is an excuse...but I may have to scale back the work outs FOR THIS WEEK ONLY! I promise!!!! :blushing:0 -

okay...so just finished the first workout and here is what I know:
1. I am very out of shape (lol, duh)
2. I HATE mountain climbers haha!
3. I am out of shape.
4. I hate mountain climbers....
but seriously, this is a great start! I think if I watch my eating habits and stick to this everyday, I believe I WILL see progress!!!
*also, as I stated before I need to ease into this so I only did 2 rounds of the work out, but tried to do it continuously. I burned 197 calories!! Wahooo!
*I keep track of my calories by using a Polar HRM0 -
SO FREAKING IN!! I've been hunting new May challenges, so this is awesome! Love the challenges

Im going to see what of this I can fit in to my workout-I already lift a full body workout on Tuesdays with my trainer so I will at least focus on the core/arm and HIIT workouts if anything.0

Awesome hummingbird!! I just did it too... Man oh man I have no upper body strength! Haha! Hopefully this will help that. And to all the newcomers to this challenge, WELCOME!0

Arms.....so....sore.....today. :sad: LOL0

MINE too!0
-
MINE too!
phew! At least Im not alone on that! lol 0 -
So, second work out done...and I had to stop half way up my stairs after haha (wobbly legs!) I was fearing the jump squats but I think they were actually my fave in the end!
For my back work out I just added 30 seconds of "superman" (laying on belly arms and legs off ground) 3x
I actually completed all 3 rounds this time!
Q: Are we changing up the work out routine next week or does it stay the same through out the 28 days?0
