Workout Challenges to kick start your summer!
Again, I have joined forces with Tiffany at The Gracious Pantry to bring you a challenge that will kick start your summer into high gear! Starting on May 15, 2011 we are giving you a choice of the following workout challenges. The “Top 100″ was created for anyone new to fitness and for those who haven’t worked out in awhile. The “Top 200″ is for anyone who’s ready for a high intensity, hard-core workout challenge. If you’re not sure which challenge is for you, I would recommend starting with the “Top 100″ which can be followed with the “Top 200″.
Keep in mind that you are not expected to perform all repetitions of a particular exercise at once. For example, on the “Top 200″ split up the 200 reverse crunches over a period of a few days or several days if needed, before moving on to the next exercise. Be sure to record the exercise, number of repetitions completed and date performed so that you can keep track of your success.
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS!!
Here’s an example: Challenge Journal -May 15th – 30 squats; 50 push-ups; 20 jumping jacks. Mix them up…it’s up to you, you’ve got 2 weeks.**As with any workout challenge it’s important to take time for recovery if needed. Again, no one knows your body better than you. My philosophy about exercise is this: If you’re are tired push on, if you’re in pain STOP!
Always thinking of ways to get you started and staying on the road to fitness and clean eating. Check out our latest NO-SUGAR-CHALLENGE.
NOTE: Both of these challenges are intended for those healthy enough to
perform high intensity exercises for extended periods of time. Check with
your doctor before beginning this or any other exercise program to ensure
you are ready for a challenging workout. Gale Compton/Certified Fitness Trainer
