This thread is one in which a new fitness and dietary challenge is posted each week. The challenges begin on Monday. Lets keep this rolling!
Here are the challenges/format to post for this week: (ANY one can join in at ANY time!)
_________________________________________________________________________________________
FITNESS CHALLENGE:
After the success of last week I am going to keep the set up with options instead of one set exercise. Here are 7 different challenges. You pick your day to do each of them and post which day you do what. I will post a few videos in a second to explain what these different exercises are.
-- 40 lunges
-- 5 mins of bicylce crunches (This should be broke down into sets)
-- 15 burpees
-- 30 min walking
-- 50 calf raises
-- 30 sec or 1 min planks (get in as many as you can in one day)
-- 20 push ups
DIETARY CHALLENGE:
Stay within 100 cals +/- of your daily calorie goal.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Here is the format to post your updates and track your progress: (can be copy/pasted to post daily, weekly, whenever!)
MON - Calore +/- : Y/N ~ Challenge:
TUES - Calore +/- : Y/N ~ Challenge:
WED – Calore +/- : Y/N ~ Challenge:
THU – Calore +/- : Y/N ~ Challenge:
FRI – Calore +/- : Y/N ~ Challenge:

HaHa! I loathe burpees as well and the only time I've actually done them has been part of this challenge group!
Might be a silly question but can someone explain what calf raises are?0 -

They are pretty simple. Stand flat footed and then go up on your tip toes. Each time you do this counts as one. To make it a little harder some people do this off the edge of a stair or raised ledge.0 -
I'm going to try the burpees this week. I've never done them before and they look like a killer full body workout. I love the fact that we have a choice of exercises now. It really helps because if I forget something for the day, I can try something else. 0

I'm in! I'm flying out on vacation Friday night so I'll get all of the exercise challenges in before then. :happy:0
