Well Christmas is over and New Year is nearly here. That means that the time of overindulgence is over (or needs to be!) and it's the time of new beginnings, new resolutions, new anything we want really. I don't know about anyone else but I do find that the New Year somehow makes it easier for me to start things, just not always carry them on! Anyway, I've decided to start a 30 day fitness challenge that I found online. You sign up and they'll email you the challenge each day, or you can just find it online.
It looks really good as it's got a few focuses and it says to feel free to substitute challenges that you don't feel are appropriate for you and gives options. Each day, you get five challenges:
An Active Challenge - these push you to be more active during the day, such as getting in an extra 20 minutes of walking some how, maybe walking instead of the bus or to do a short yoga workout or parking the furthest space away at the supermarket, work etc.
An Exercise Challenge - these are more set cardio and strength workouts but there's lots of options to choose from or you can just put your own in if you do something already.
A Flexibility Challenge - these are things like stretching, pilates, yoga etc. that help to increase flexibility
A Nutrition Challenge - these are things that look at your eating habits and try to improve them, this is the bit I think is possibly the most helpful. Examples include things like writing down your cravings and looking at what you're craving and why, eating veggies in every meal,
A Mind/Body Challenge - these are things that are meant to help you relax and focus, some of the things I've seen are doing nothing for 5 minutes or thinking about some of the things that you've accomplished that day.

I'm going to start tomorrow, anyone else fancy joining me?
