They say it takes 21 days to form a habit and today is day 21 of the 5 Week Challenge. My goal in putting the 5 Week Challenge together was to set each of you up to succeed on your own by showing you how attainable a healthy and fit lifestyle can be. You have all been doing such an amazing job.
Without further ado, here is Week 4...
Monday 21st: We are going to increase our interval walk | jog | run our mile.
Walkers: You are going to walk two blocks, jog two, walk two again, jog two, so on and so on.
Joggers: You are going to jog two blocks, run two, jog two again, run two, so on and so on.
Runners: You are going to run two blocks, sprint two, run two again, sprint two, so on and so on.
Tuesday 22nd: We are going to take a healthy lunch with us to work.
Taking our lunch with us to work assures that we are going to stay on track when trying live a healthier lifestyle. Traditionally food prepared in cafeterias and restaurants are loaded with salt and often use butter, cream and other calorie dense ingredients that add very little nutrition.
Wednesday 23rd: We are going to increase the reps of our new body weight exercises.
15 Jump Squats http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjY25jL_avs
20 Push Ups
15 Reverse Lunges http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVt2w5iljUs&feature=fvsr
60 sec. Plank Don't say you can't! I know you can!!
- 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 24th: We are going to cook lite.
For this challenge I want you all to find a meal to cook for dinner that is 500 calories or less per serving, prepare it and share it. Here is a link that has some pretty tasty looking ideas. http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/recipes/healthy-eating/nutrition/the-you-can-do-it-diet-dinner-choices/?page=1
Friday 25th: We are going back to stairs.
400! We are going to do 400 stairs this week. It sounds like a lot but I know you all are strong enough both physically and mentally to make it through.
Saturday 26th: We are going to pick our own fitness activity.
With week four ending, it is time for you all to begin making your own decisions when it comes to your daily fitness activities. My only guideline for today is that your activity has to 30 minutes. Be creative!
Alright, another 5 challenges that will push you to "work towards something greater" and prove to you that nothing is impossible. Good luck and as always, I am here to motivate and support you all! Have an amazing week!
