Anyone into some friendly and gentle challenges? Like a daily sit up, or push up, or plank holding type thing? 7-day challenge? If there's interest let's get some ideas going - hopefully good motivation for each other.

I got some of my colleagues to commit to doing Insanity with me at the end of the workday.

We are now on day 3 and so far it's gone really well. I do Insanity and then run home (about 7k) which is a nice cool down and stretch for me after the Insanity workout.

Feel very good. Did my whole workout in 65 minutes. Disciplined and in good form. Phew :dead:

I have led a very, very sedantary life. I mean, it is not possible to have moved less then what I did for years on end, besides being dead or in a coma. That I now managed to stick to a workout routine for 2 months is nothing short of unbelievable to me.
I am getting muscles! :woot: Cant believe it. The feeling of getting stronger is incredible. Everything becomes easier.
I feel that for the first in my life I am in controll of myself.
They say, one must do something for 3 months for it to truly become a habbit.
So, just one more month and I can say I changed my life.


@City Slicker
I love your idea, but for now I just want to keep it to myself. I am so proud of myself, I dont need to know other people do thrice the pushups I can. :smug:

I hear ya @Mallaky - that's awesome!

No worries on the challenge - I was actually thinking of it more like a goal -for example, like every day we hold a plank for 15 seconds each day for 7 days, type thing so that people just getting started could also get some encouragement etc. (I am not so much a fan of the actual competing part where you do it to see if we can beat each other's numbers)

Here's to one excellent month. You are doing great.

Cardio for an hour, then lower body workout. I need to become more consistent :)

Two and a half hours of hard physical slog - worked up a sweat.

5km run this morning... go the heart pumping.

 

[Anrish]

@Mallaky : Great news! Keep up the good work! :tup:

Yesterday: 35 min run

Today: 60 min run

Tomorrow, I won't exercise...I have a long drive ahead, only sitting but very exhausting.

One hour cardio (speed swimming) and upper body workout :)

Day 4 Insanity called cardio recovery. It felt like a holiday as it was only 33 minutes compared to the other Insanity workouts so far. I get a good run in afterwards and I like that the combo is not taking as much time right now since work has been quite busy. I am averaging about 2 hrs a day combining my run into work and then the Insanity and the run home.

I am planning on alternating my running into and home from work with biking. I have a nice trail here that I really only run on and if I biked it I would avoid traffic altogether. I got an awesome deal on a used bike a while back and I remember how much I loved the freedom of being on my bike and riding away from everything when I was a kid. I would like that feeling back so I will be trying it out next week.
