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! We have been going for well over 6 months with new people in and out each week.
Here are the challenges/format to post for this week: (ANY one can join in at ANY time!)
_________________________________________________________________________________________
FITNESS CHALLENGE:
Here are 7 different challenges. You pick your day to do each of them and post which day you do what. OR if you are feeling up to it you can try to create a mini circut out of these exercises. Totally up to you and your ability level.
-- 40 lunges
-- youtube work out video of choice (PLEASE POST THE VIDEO YOU PICK)
-- 48 Globe Jumps --- Each jump counts as one so this means going around the square 12 times. You can break these up
-- 75 crunches -- 25 right obliques, 25 left obliques, 25 center
-- 25 high low planks
-- 20 toe touches --- WATCH VIDEO
-- 60 calf raises
DON'T FORGET THAT YOU CAN BREAK THEM UP AS NEEDED THROUGH OUT THE DAY BUT THE GOAL IS TO FINISH ALL OF THE SET NUMBER FOR EACH DAY.
DIETARY CHALLENGE:
Try 4 new foods.

Most people report daily. However, if you are not on MFP that often it is ok to report at the end of the week.0 -
