Staying on Track: Time Challenge

Hi Life Changers!

So after ridding through 3 states, making 4 stops, and nearly 11 hours later--We finally made it to Cincinnati! It's been a pretty rainy day here so far but that's more of a reason for me to rest AND get my exercise in. I make it a point to always pack my workout gear to help me eliminate the excuses and stay on track. We all know that with vacation it's more of a challenge to eat healthy and stay on track but it's up to you to make healthy choices and plan ahead.

So I hit up the hotel's fitness center which was actually pretty decent with plenty of floor space to do my workout. Not including my 10 min warm up on the elliptical and additional 10 cardio on the treadmill afterwards, today's workout took me 10 min and 27 sec to complete for ~30 min workout overall. I encourage you ladies to also incoporate some cardio in today's workout to help build your endurance and release those feel good endorphins! I feel better already! So this will be our last challenge until next week BUT I encourage you to keep up with your workouts and do at least 4 more days of cardio before next wedenesday's boot camp session. Enjoy today's challenge! I'll be announcing our fitness challenge leaders/ winners next wednesday to PUSH HARD FOR THE PRIZE =D

Breakin a Sweat! Time Challenge

This morning has been super busy for us in "Jonesville" we're packing to leave for Cincinnati, OH today BUT I had to get my workout in this morning! My hair needs redoing --hence the name of today's workout "Breakin a Sweat" so I hope no one has gotten their memorial day hair-do yet =D.

In any case, today's challenge is a straight to the point 300 rep workout but pretty challenging because of the increase amount of cardio today. I added a couple pics for the new exercises you may not be familiar with. This one will surely get your heart rate up and get in a good burn before the holiday.

YOU'LL NEED A STOP WATCH OR TIMER TO TIME YOUR WORKOUT (Don't include your warm up and cool down in your time)

Not including my warm up & cool down (~5 min each---DON'T FORGET YOURS) it took me
14 minutes 57 seconds to complete the challenge---now it's up to you to beat my score =D.

1 more challenge to go so remember to PUSH yourself and be that voice inside your own head making you go!

I'll be looking forward to seeing your results.

Have a GREAT DAY!
