1 Week Exercise Challenge! Sunday

Now that the holidays are almost over, it's time to get back into a routine and get rid of that turkey weight. What's the best way to do that? Exercise of course! 

I woke up today feeling horrible and not wanting to do much of anything but I pushed myself towards my favourite exercise DVD Killer Buns and Thighs by Jillian Michaels. If you are not in the mood to work out I suggest just putting an exercise DVD on and turning it up loud enough so you can hear it from almost any room in your house. This always works for me. If you can hear it you will most likely start to feel guilty and give in. 

After working my butt off for a good half-hour, I felt so much better! It has inspired me to do a 1 week fitness challenge and I want you to join me! 

I have started on a Sunday because for me, that is the first day of the week and it is much easier to track your progress if you start at the beginning of the week than in the middle. 

It is important that you have at least one goal that you want to achieve before the end of the week (Saturday). If you do not have a goal then there isn't any point in doing this challenge, right? Here are my goals:

1. Able to do 20 full push ups by Saturday
2. Have my legs, glutes, and arms noticeably more toned by Saturday
3. Feel more energized by Saturday

Today I worked on level 2 of Killer Buns and Thighs and it was the first time I got through the whole workout! I even had enough energy to try a few push ups. 

Start the challenge today and push yourself to achieve your goals. It will be mentally and physically exhausting the first couple days, but the object of the game is to feel much more energized by the end of the week and hopefully I will be able to continue a routine afterwards! 

Good luck and have fun with it!
