    Congrats, everyone!

    I just started three or four new workouts on April 1st, so I'll be continuing them. I went all the way from 3.0 - 4.7 on the treadmill today.

    Good job everyone! This week is going to be tough, I'm going on vacation to Florida for a week....Hopefully I'll be able to stay on track with everything. For the challenge though, I'm going to try doing the Biggest Loser workout with my sister. I might miss weigh in this week, so please don't take me off.

    Awesome job everyone, and thanks again for the beautiful chart!!

    Everyone is so motivated and dedicated, I hope that it will really push and inspire me.

    I have REALLY been slacking lately, on both food and working out.

    Some paperwork mess ups have made me take an unplanned 2 week break from my online classes, and I hope to use this pushback to get back in the swing of things and workout like CRAZY!!

    My plan will be to get to the gym 4 days a week both weeks, start the 20 day shred once again, and I am starting softball so I will be practicing with my husband whenever we both have time and the weather is nice. I also want to get on my bike when the weather warms up. Maybe I can start the C25K once again also. Wow, so many goals, maybe I need to focus myself. Well I will finish this paper tonight and retink my plans and goals tomorrow.

    Great work everyone!!

    Great job, everyone!

    I've just started working out again, so my goal for the challenge is to actually work out 6 days this week. 1 day done so far!! Also getting up the courage to take a group class at my gym. Usually, I'm a solitary person when I work out so that would definitely be new.

    **THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE:

    Push yourself to try something new or do something different to mix up your workout routine. If you normally run, then try a workout video. If you normally do all cardio, try adding some weights. If you normally walk at a slow pace on the treadmill, try speeding up or increasing the incline. Do something different.

    If you continue to do the same old thing every day, your body will get used to it and will stop changing. Challenge yourself to do something new. Let us know how it goes. :flowerforyou:

    THanks So Much Vic!!!
    I am planning on doingmy C25K on Monday Wed and Friday and then Ripped in 30 every day except for Sunday. I will also try to add some Pilates or something to the off days of the running.
    Great Job everyone and good luck this week!!!

    Not happy with the red numbers :-(. I have a busy week coming up but I'm going to stay on top of it. For the challenge I just ordered 6 week 6 pack and I'm going to add that on top of my gym schedule. I am also going to try and do 45 minutes on the elliptical instead of 30.

    This Week's Challenge: Try something new!


    Normally I do TurboFire 6 days a week, and sometimes even on my day off. Well, today (on my rest day) I decided to go to the gym. I was on the treadmill for 45 minutes. In that time I did a quick 1-2 minute walk to warm up, then ran for 7 minutes (speed 4.7), then walked for 1.5-2 minutes, then I ran again for 10 minutes (speed: 4.8), then walked again for another 1-2 minutes, then ran again for 20 minutes (yowzah!! 15 minutes @ 4.9, then 5 minutes @ 5.0) with ZERO breaks! I finished off by walking for 2-3 minutes.

    It was AMAZING!!! I have never been a runner, but since doing Insanity and TurboFire my stamina has improved so much! I actually LIKED it! I look forward to running again next Monday.

    Never in my life have I EVER run for more than 5 minutes. I never would have imagined that I could have done 20 straight, and 37 overall. And....I got to 3 miles at exactly 39 minutes. Yay me!


    Wishing you all the very best!


    Sounds to me like you found a new love, either you love it our you hate it.. and I think now you are ready for your first 5k :) You can do it.. You just proved it to yourself and all of us... Way to go.. I love running and the way you feel after reaching whatever goal you have set for yourself for the day.. Nothing beats that feeling and even thou you dripping in sweat you feel amazing...

    Congrats on finding your something new :)
