February Challenge?

Hello,
I have to admit I am getting a little discouraged with groups where members appear to be inactive, so maybe a February Challenge where we check-in weekly if not daily will help build some camaraderie and support.
Since each person has their own workout routine, I think choosing your own challenge for the month would work best.
Mine will be to do some sort of strength exercise 5 days a week, I really need to develop a plan for that and incorporate it into my workout routine. I will rotate arm and leg exercises while still getting in some cardio.
Any takers?

Hello ladies! I'm new to this thing and I'm down for the challenge. My challenge for the month is to give up soda and all sugary drinks. Workout at least 45 minutes for 4 days a week.0

I started Jillian Miichaels body revolution last week so my challenge will be to stick to the plan for Feb and walk at least 250,000 steps, I have a Fitbit to track it and keep me honest.0

Hello everyone!
We are a week into February, how is everyone doing with your challenge?
I have been doing some strength training, doing squats, dead leg lifts, sexy arm workout, and I have changed up my cardio workouts by doing some structured workouts. They were a real challenge at first, especially since I had to watch my time to make the necessary adjustments so no reading or playing games on my phone :happy:
I would say it was a success because I lost 1.6 lbs. this week.
Check in, so we can keep supporting each other!0 -

Hey Eternal, I'm doing JM Body revolution & Fitbit Force as well! I started last Wednesday so I'm just a few days behind you. This is week 2 for me and I completed my 2nd work out for the week this morning.
I'm not giving myself a weight goal, since my body has a mind of its own no matter what I do so I'm sticking to things I can control, like my effort, which will include:
250,000 steps in February - Ithink I need to up that to 280,000 to keep up with Ms. Eternal here
Also stay on schedule in JM Body Revolution
Let's go!
Here is where I am so far

Hi! Those are great goals. I finished my workout 2 video for the last time this morning. Next week I start workout 3 and 4. I know the intensity jumps a lot next week but I am going to give it my all. I hope we can keep each other motivated with this and our steps. My Zumba workouts gives me major calorie burn and tons of steps. It is a great cardio compliment to the Body Revolution.0 -
I'm late on this, but my Feb goal is to become a stronger runner and drink more water ( 1 glass an hour). I have intentions on running a half marathon in May and I am not a strong runner at all. So the other half of my goal is to find a training plan that I can stick to and build me up to the 13.1 miles I need to finish the run and in a decent time.0

I did my measurements last night. I lost 1.6 lbs last week and 6.125 inches. Therefore, I say I am declaring last week a success. I really need to focus more on eating healthier by cutting back on the bread this week.0

Hi Everyone!! New to the group so I'm a little behind. My goals for February are to walk 10,000 steps a day...tracking with Fitbit Zip, and to drink a min of 8 glasses of water a day.0

Good Afternoon Ladies! I'm just joining as well and am glad to be part of this group. My February goal is to complete Jillian Michaels' "30 Day Shred" workouts 4 days per week and run 2-5 miles 3 days per week, in accordance with a Half-Marathon training plan. I'm currently on Week 2 of the "30 Day Shred". Best wishes to all of you in your endeavors!0

Which half marathon training plan are you using? My local running groups have already started training for our upcoming marathon in May, so I am on my own. It's my first one so I am getting guidance from different ppl, but i need a program. The only one that I have found is the Hal Hidgon program. Will this be your first half marathon?0

So far on track with my Jillian Michaels Body Revolution program! And progressing on my steps. 0

Good Job!
You have motivated me to up my steps daily goal - seemed like a great idea at the time but with a little extra effort I have made it to my goal for the first three days. Weekends are usually where I fall off, but I intend to keep up with it!0 -
Hi Ladies,
February is almost over, how are you going with your challenge?
I have to honestly say that while I have made some changes to my workout program and started out strong with my strength training I have fallen off definitely this past week. I think when I think about February all I see is Chocolate - I think I have eaten some form of chocolate just about every day for the past two weeks and it is reflected in my overall feelings. I eat junk, then I feel sluggish, too tired to cook a real meal - eat more junk and the cycle continues. Time for some good old, get tough, cold turkey style! No more chocolate for me for the rest of this month, I am going to log workouts on my calendar with reminders and get my mind right and back on track.
Ladies, check in with how things are going for you?0 -

I'm sorry for the delayed response, but yes, it's my first one! I'm using a plan my friend put together. I'll try to screenshot and post it to this thread.0

OK, I fell a bit short of my goal of 280,000 steps in Feb, but 247,490 is not too shabby, given that I spent at least two weekends "binge watching" House of Cards on Netflix. 0

February is over! How did you do?
I started out great, then with V-day, I guess I found an excuse to eat chocolate - boy did I eat chocolate! So the weight I lost the first part of the month I gained back some of it in the middle and I am now just back to where I was right before V-Day!
I also tried some different workouts that didn't work for me, so now I am back to doing what I was prior - why do we try and fix things that aren't broken
This process is about learning what will work for us on our path to better health, I am generally happy with my February Challenge results, I learned something's about myself and stress (hence the overindulgence of chocolate) and how important it can be to get trustworthy information regarding exercise ( I was doing workouts that were not the best way to get the results that I want).
I hope everyone has had some level of success with their challenge.0
