These are great, and tougher! :-)

Some good challenges here. I am starting a 6 week challenge at my gym today so #1 will be easy. Number 2 will be a little tough for me since I have been doing 2 long strength training sessions a week. One upper and one lower. I guess I will have to combine the two and do less exercises. Number 3 will be easy. Number 4 is always tough for me, but it has been slowly getting easier.

I can do this!!!!

There are 4 challenges this week:

1. Cardio- 200 minutes. On one day do at least 20 minutes of something you don’t usually do such as swimming, aerobics, dancing, kick boxing. Your body will react to that change.

2. Include 2 sessions each in strength training for upper body and lower body. You can spread this over 4 days. 6 exercises for upper and six for lower body

3. Stay within your allocated calorie range every day this week.

4. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.

Share your progress and your struggles with the team.
