    I'm so excited that we all took advantage of a chance to get that early morning burn. I will be honest it was a huge challenge for me last week and managed to squeeze out 2 mornings, but it's a new week! Let's get a head start everyone!!! I received 6 March Morning Challenge members who reported their success and we burned a whopping 6725 Calories :happy: between the 6 of us (reported)!!!

    FANTASTIC EVERYONE.

    Week 1 Results!!!

    I definitely forgot to fill out the spreadsheet for last week! Oops. It's blocked at work so I have to remember to do it when I get home this week!

    I started this week off with a morning workout so I'm in good shape!

    I didn't add my last week either. Do I have to edit the spreadsheet myself? Anyways, I only got one morning workout in last week. I set my alarm for a short run this morning, but I just couldn't do it. Hopefully I can get a couple mornings in this week.

    I started getting up early this week to get my walk in. they say you burn the most fat when you do it in the morning because overnight the biddy had no food so out pulls energy from the fat first.

    I get up at 5:15 every morning and I'm at the gym by 6:00. My workout varies depending on my mood but I like to do intervals between the treadmill and the elliptical. The gym I use is at work so I have the place completely to myself every morning.

    This morning I did 80 minutes on the treadmill at 3.5 mph.

    I did hear that too with working out in the morning to be the best for your body. I do notice it gives me that lil spike of energy to get my day started.

    That's great you have the gym to yourself! I love intervals too just to keep my interest and switch it up.

    Ran 4 miles at 9 min/mile pace at 4:00am. Much warmer today than yesterday. Feels good to get the workout in early.
