Challenge Begins Monday, April 4! :noway: Get some sleep now!

Hello again MFPeeps! We had great success with our March Morning Madness Challenge of burning 33,488 :happy: calories just in the morning!

I know we are all busy with work, kids, school or the snooze button! I'm in search for the people who will get up at the crack of dawn or some time in the AM to get a great workout in to start your day off.

Only asking for at least 2 morning workouts a week (could even be on the weekend!). I guarantee you will feel better after you are done. You have to record your results and I will tally them up by Monday with a new form.

Who's up for getting the maximum calorie burn in the morning!!! Spring is here and summer is fast approaching. Why not get that burn over and done with, so we can see the results by summer! It's always nice to have a workout behind you, so life won't get in the way.

Please share your early morning workout, time spent, and calorie burn in the form provided each week. I will check in every Sunday evening to see how we are all progressing.

Here is week 1 form - for all of you that are new to this challenge I will add your MFP names by Monday!

    I might have missed it, but how late is too late? The earliest I could participate is 10:30AM, is that too late?

    I would also like to participate. I usually workout after work so this will help me get more motivated to get up in the mornings. Plus, give me extra calorie burn for the day. Yay!

    No it's not too late! We still have plenty of days left this week to get that morning workout in! You are added.

    Awesome LG!

    You don't stink I haven't gotten up either - it's only been 1 morning that has passed. Even if you try for Fri/Sat/Sun morning workouts they all count towards your 2 morning workouts total. It can be challenging during the week for sure. Once you get that workout done you can see how it may work for your the next week.

    Oh the best laid plans! I have not gotten up early at all this week. My children are out of school, so for the first time in months I am able to sleep in (if you count getting up at 7 sleeping in) and I am taking full advantage.:blushing:

    I've actually been good. I woke up early Monday and Tuesday and worked out. This morning, I decided to sleep the extra 45 minutes instead, but now kind of wish I would have just gotten up. But my 2 for the week are done. I think I'll end up doing a couple more days of early morning workouts just because of how my schedule is this week.
