Re: January Strength Challenge (NEW)

Hey everyone I would love to participate in this challenge... I need all the motivation I can get when it comes to exercise :P

Here's my plan:

Cardio: Dancing, TKD, star jumps, walking to work (instead of catching the bus).

Strength Training = 4 days a week (20 mins each session):

2 of those sessions are 'arm, back and tummy exercises'
- Push ups, Dips, the evil 'holding your arm out and moving it up and down slightly' exercise, resistance training with the (rubber) band, sit ups, touching ankles + others.

The other 2 sessions are 'leg, back and tummy exercises'
- Sqauts, TKD practise, slow kicking, side leg rises, sit ups, core work.

I will alternate them ^_^ looking forward to it!

Re: January Strength Challenge (NEW)

I'm finally here to check in! Things have been so crazy around here since New Year's and finally winding back down to normal.

I was able to get in some training on Jan. 2nd and 4th. I did my usual 50 min. cardio. Did 35 minutes of weight training on Friday and 45 minutes today. That's already 80 minutes total. I should have pledged a bit more. Oh well! At least this way I know I will meet my quota for the month and then some!

Re: January Strength Challenge (NEW)

Lower body and abs today. I think I could have done more abs but I was very tired by that point. Oh and the yoga class. Loved it.

Re: January Strength Challenge (NEW)

So how is everyone doing. I am so glad to see all of you adding minutes. I know I am getting stronger. My push-ups were better today (and I find push-ups incredible hard) I think working on chestpresses with dumbbells have helped a lot. My arms are looking better people.
