Hi Girls,

I know a couple of you are joining me for the next challenge.

What do you think we should set out goals at? I would personally like to up mine from May.



Number of Sessions - 30
Total Duration - 30 Hours
Calorie Burn - 15,000

Weekly Training Sessions Goals =
Mon Morning Elliptical & Rowing Session + Evening C2S training run (City2Surf)
Tue Morning Pump Class (up weight every week)
Wed Morning Yoga Glass + Evening C2S training run
Thu Spin Bike Interval session (Hardest Level - at least 50 mins)
Fri Morning Modified NROL4W Session
Sat/Sun At least 1 extra workout/activity for the week. (This may include bushwalking, kayaking, running etc)

I will be away from home 4 out of the 5 weekends of June. 1 weekend will include 2 bushwalks, need to make sure I am active the other weekends!!

As we all train differently, maybe we might not have the same goals. As long as we post our goals on here and then update each other as we go, I think that's great! :-)

GOOD LUCK!! :-)

    I also haven't weight in or measured all of May. Will do so on Friday morning. And then won't again until end of June! I'll post my progress on that too :-)

    Count me in, Gigi, and thanks for starting this challenge!

    My goals:

    1. Continue doing 30 mins cardio at least twice a week (I had stopped for a long time because I was doing too much and it was making me hungry all the time!)
    2. Continue progressing with Stronglifts 5x5 three days a week
    3. Since currently it takes me only about 30 mins to complete a 5x5 workout (I'm only starting my third week), I'm going to do an additional 30 mins or so of strength training, such as my kettlebell DVD.
    4. Get better with my water intake. I've been struggling to get it all in, so I want to get at least 8 cups a day!

    I've recently increased my calories ("Eat More to Weigh Less"), and they advise waiting 4-6 weeks to weigh in because you'll gain weight in the beginning, so I'd like to weigh and measure at the end of June too.

    Hi ladies! I would like to get in on this :) I am currently doing Jillian Michaels 30 Day shred, bike riding, elliptical and walking. Snce I don't know me, I will tell you I have 14 pounds more to get to goal. It feels like an uphill climb. I'm also using Eat more to Weigh Less method and I had a 1.8 loss last week but nothing this week. Could be because I was not nearly as dedicated this week to my usual pattern of eating. So that is another goal of mine, stick with the program!!!

    Monday - Bike ride/ cardio of some sort
    Tues & Wednesday - 30 Day Shred
    Thursday - cardio
    Friday & Saturday - 30 Day shred
    Sunday - cardio/ yoga

    I will make sure to check back :)

    AIMS

    Hi ladies, I'll join too! :) I'm new here, but I've been using the myfitnesspal app for a month straight. I had been doing circuit cardio and strength, with 100 crunches a day, and just switched to the 30 Day Shred. Day 1 was yesterday. Other than doing that for the next month:

    *clean eating: no bread, sugar. Water to drink only.
    *walking nightly for 20 minutes after work (about a mile or two)
    *30 Day Shred :)

    Day 1 kicked my butt. I'll update my progress!

    I almost forgot...
    SW: 205
    CW: 202.1
    GW in 30 days: 192
    UGW: 125!!!!

    Hi ladies,

    Nearly half way mark for June. My progress so far is looking good:

    Number of Sessions - 11 / 30
    Total Duration - 16:04:22 / 30 Hours
    Calorie Burn - 7,444 / 15,000

    Looking good for hours and calorie burn, but need to get a few extra sessions in!! I'll try fit in some more quick runs!

    I ran 14kms (with 3 big hills) the other day in just under 1:42:00 - the race I am training for (city to surf) is 14km's with a huge 2km hill. Before Saturday I had only run 6.5kms straight and my aim for city to surf was under 1:45:00 . So I'm SUPER happy! :-)
