Happy Mother's day to all of you mothers! Mary Dyar, an extra special Happy Mother's day to you. I don't know if I would be here today if you hadn't raised me with as much love and support as you did. Thank you and I love you!
Now let's talk week 3. It's time to really start kicking some ass. In week 1 and week 2 we proved to ourselves that health and fitness can be a part of our daily lives. Week 3 is going to prove that we can be badasses when it comes to health and fitness. You may say to yourself, "I can't be a fitness badass." Uh, yes you can! And, you will.
Let's get down to business!
Monday 14th: We are going to interval walk | jog | run our mile.
Walkers: You are going to walk three blocks, jog one, walk three again, jog one, so on and so on.
Joggers: You are going to jog three blocks, run one, jog three again, run one, so on and so on.
Runners: You are going to run three blocks, sprint one, run three again, sprint one, so on and so on.
Tuesday 15th: We are going to cut out all added sugar.
No soda. No energy drinks. No flavored creamer in coffee. No candy. No cereals with sugar.
Wednesday 16th: We are going to learn some new body weight exercises.
10 Jump Squats http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjY25jL_avs
20 Push Ups
10 Reverse Lunges http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVt2w5iljUs&feature=fvsr
45 sec. Plank
- Repeat twice (3 super sets)
These four exercises together are going to really work your core, you balance as well as really taxing your cardiovascular system. You will feel the burn!
Thursday 17th: We are going vegetarian for a day.
For this challenge, vegetarian means no meat. Fish and animal bi-products are fine.
Friday 18th: We are going to take 15 minutes before work and stretch.
Let's start are day off with a natural shot of energy instead of hitting the snooze button. You will get way more out of 15 minutes of stretching than you will 5 minutes more of not really sleeping.
Saturday 19th: We are going get our day started with some callisthenics.
50 Jumping Jacks
25 High Knees (25 each knee) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bW01cQkj4f8
25 Mountain Climbers (25 each knee) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyeZM-_VnRc
45 sec. Plank
There it is. I know you can accomplish each of these challenges and "work towards something greater!"
