Sorry Challengers. I updated on my phone and realized it didn't post to this blog, below is what I wrote earlier for you all that I texted about. Sorry.
Hey people! If you haven't checked the blog yet with the challenge take a look! I have 8 go getters looking to get moving. But here is the challenge in case you didn't see it yet.
This two week challenge is for anyone. Those that don't workout and those that do. I am going to do this as well as my regular workout routine.
Challengers please use the comment section on the blog to check in Tuesday. Honesty is the best policy, fibs only hurt your progress. We are here to support each other, motivate each others and share ideas.
Tuesday comment: Share how you felt the first day of doing the challenge (did you not do it, did you fulfill it completely) and share a healthy choice or meal from Monday and Tuesday. This will help others get food ideas as well. If you are not a follower of the blog you can join now or even just post under anonymous. You can leave a code name or your real name. It is totally up to you. This will also help you stay accountable and on it.
Remember, if you already do something cardio related like run, zumba, stairmaster, etc in your regular workout for the day it counts for your 15 minutes of cardio for the
Challenge. If it's an off day do the entire challenge although you could do the cardio in the morning and exercises in the evening although maximum benefit will come if you do them together. Get creative and have fun with it.
Here is my workout routine for the week:
Monday-leg day
Tuesday- kickboxing
Wednesday -chest and triceps
Thursday - weight lifting class
Friday- shoulders and back/bi's

This a list of things I am going to have and maybe ideas you can draw from. I personally am trying to lower my carbs from bread and pasta to work on my summer belly I want but you could have those things in moderation. Also biggest meal of day should be breakfast, medium at lunch and smallest at dinner. I've read
Lowering carbs or none at all with dinner helps with belly fat so I'm trying it haha. Please check the links on side of page for more ideas on food. Let me know if you have any questions, if you you tube burpees or any other exercise that will help give you a visual.
I am trying to think of a prize for the people who stick with it each day so please do your best and report honest updates on being consistent with the workouts if you miss one I happens just make it up and keep on track the next day.
We can do this y'all! Looking forward to Tuesdays dialogue from your comments! Point system. You get a point for answering questions as well as doing the workouts. Will let you know prize soon.
Have a great Sunday, get grocery shopping for some healthy meals, buy a jump rope for easy cardio at home while you watch tv if you don't have one and plan your meals and workouts for the week. Let's go! So proud of all of you. You took the first step!
