We are going to post a weekly challenge every Monday. Some weeks will be a contest, winner gets a prize, loser has to do something. Some weeks will just be to challenge ourselves. Leave a comment about what you are going to do or how you did on the challenge for the week...If you're really good, send a picture or a video of it! You can email me the pic or video on facebook or to jenniferfieldsgraphics@gmail.com. I'm going to post the pics or videos you send on the weekly challenge page, so we can look back and laugh at you, jk! We did this for a contest a few years ago, and it kept it interesting. I promise I won't traumatize you...much ; )
Week 1: I'm going to start out with an easy one to get us going. Try any new activity this week, and by that I mean something that qualifies as exercise, not a new restaurant ; ) Let us know what you are going to try (a little accountability). Have a great week!
Week 2: This week is all about getting up off our butts! The challenge is to do as many workouts as you can. The winner gets a lovely amazon.com gift certificate for $20...if you don't play, then it's mine, muahhahah!
To participate you have to leave a comment below telling us what workout you did, and how long you did it. At the end of the week, we'll tally up the minutes all of our posts and see who came out on top. I do have trust issues, but we will go on the honor system and not ask for any proof of workouts ; ) But, it would be more fun if you send a little pic or video...just sayin....challenge starts tomorrow!
***I'm changing this to any activity that gets your heart rate up for 20 minutes or more - shoveling snow, parking your car further out and walking, cleaning at a fast pace (set a timer & clean like you have a deadline), playing sports or being active with your kids, washing your car by hand, any sport, dancing, taking the stairs..just try to find ways to move more throughout the day! If you can, buy a pedometer, and we can use it in one of the challenges. If we all have access to a treadmill, we can do that one week
Week 3: The challenge for next week will be purely weight loss. We will go by percentage lost and have someone else calculate it, because I suck at math, lol! What do you think we should do for the winner and the loser? I won't be able to do a cash prize each week..being poor folk...any ideas? We could do something fun like the winner gets one of my crazy library of workout dvd's and the loser has to send me a video of them dancing or singing and I will post it on the blog..muahahaha!!
Oh, and if you wanna play this week..send me a picture of your weight on the scale tomorrow and then a picture of the weight next Sunday. I won't post everyone's weight and I won't judge you..especially because I think I'm the heaviest =D You can send it in a private message or post it for everyone to see. Game's on!!
