Quite a list that we have going on. This is awesome! So, again, we start tomorrow and I weighed and measured myself this morning. I wrote it all down, stuck the paper in my desk and will leave it there until the day we end. Here are the rules, again:

3500 calories burned per week per an HRM. (Monday-Sunday) If you do not have an HRM then you will want to stick with the minutes. Again, it doesn't matter when, what day, every day, all in one, whatever, but you will burn a minimum of 3500 calories per week.

(My challenge to myself is to go above and beyond BOTH of these! Again, that is me challenging myself but I just want you all to know what my plan is.)

90 minutes or 1000 calories, minimum, of your week will be strickly cardio. It does not matter what you do as cardio, but it has to be cardio. When you do a check in, whether it's daily or weekly, list what it is that you did as your cardio and the minutes/calories burned.

30 minutes or 500 calories, minimum, of your week will be strickly strength training. Again, it doesn't matter what it is that you do as strength training but it has to be strength training. Again, when you do your check in list what it is that you did. You can take a broom/mop and do arm curls with it, lift it above your head and do bicep curls. You can do sit ups or push ups. Squats or lunges! Whatever as long as it is strength training.

AND here is the BIG one! EVERYONE will drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water per day! This is major because I know there are a lot of people that really struggle with it, but it is part of our PUSH YOURSELF challenge.

I do not expect any of you to go purchase equipment, or get a gym membership, if you do not have any of this. I spent many, many months, or my journey, finding things in my own home/yard to exercise with. The point here is to exercise, to push ourselves, and to see what we can accomplish in these next six weeks.


So, I will expect to hear from each of you, at least once a week, by every Sunday, at the latest. I will report every day.

Tomorrow morning I will post a new thread that will be titled, 6 week PUSH YOURSELF challenge, week 1 and will post a new one with the new week # each Monday morning.

Make it a great 6 weeks everyone! You can do it and you will feel great about the accomplishment.

UPDATED TO ADD NAMES! WOO HOO, we are up to 54 people doing this challenge! Way to go everyone!
