14 Day Challenge - For Beginners

Options
I am starting a 14 Day Challenge of clean eating and exercise. Anyone interested please join in and share your success and shortcomings. The premise:
  • No Sweets
  • No red meat
  • No pasta
  • No alcohol
  • No bread
  • No soda
  • Eat only fresh fruit and vegetables, complex carbohydrates and lean proteins
  • Drink a gallon of water daily
  • 30 minute workout daily

Going to the gym everyday may be hard for some so I found a pretty thorough workout I can do at home. You will need a jump rope, a handheld weight or kettleball and resistance bands. I will post a new one daily gradually adding to the reps as we build our endurance.
25 Jumping Jacks
6 Reverse Lunges
6 Forward Lunges
6 Basic Squats
6 Basic Squats w/Side Leg Lift
6 Narrow Squats
6 Narrow Squats w/Back Leg Lift
10 High Knees
10 Plie Squats
15 Calf Raises
Jump Rope for 1 min
5 Pushups
5 Fire Hydrants (each leg)
5 Pointed Butt Lifts (each leg)
5 Heel Kicks (each leg)
5 Pushups
10 Sec Plank
10 Sec Side Plank w/Left Leg Lift
10 Sec Reverse Plank
10 Sec Side Plank w/Right Leg Lift
10 Sec Elbow Plank
5 Pushups
5 Bridges
20 Crunches
20 Russian Twists with a weight or kettleball
15 Side Bends
10 Mountain Climbers
The exercises below require the use of resistance bands
Reverse Curl Abs
5 Leg Lifts
Scissor Kicks
Teaser
Chest Press
Bent Over Row
Reverse Fly
Chest Fly
Bicep Curl
Wide Curl

    Guzzled my whole gallon yesterday, I added mint, cucumber and lemon to it, made it a bit more refreshing. Got 50 minutes of activity according to my fitbit by finishing the routine I posted. No issues so far with sticking with the food guidelines.
