Exercise Challenge - *March 2012*

[suespain]

I’ve had a hard time of it in the way of exercising and dieting since Xmas so for March I am determined to up the exercise I do (and eat properly!).
So in preparation for March how about a Fitness Challenge?
I’m going to aim for 15 hours of exercise during the month of March – but I hope to achieve more (wii, kettleworks, DVDS, cycling etc etc)
Anyone want to join me?

 

[wannabe_yummy_mummy]

Count me in! I need a challenge to keep me motivated

 

[suespain]

Hi wannabe yummy mummy, how many hours do you want to aim for?

[RaspberryMoon]

I'll take part. I need a kick up the bum to do more exercise. I'll say I'll aim to do 10 hours, but hopefully more.

 

[suespain]

Welcome RaspberryMoon, put you down for 10 hrs

I think i'll aim for the same target suespain, 15hrs sounds like a challenge to me! x

Hi Wannabe yummy mummy, it seemed like it to me when I put 15 - we will see!

It will be something to keep me focused, and stop me making excuses for the odd 20min exercise here and there! That's my failure... always thinking "I'll do it in a bit"!

I've just noticed you are also doing the 30 day shred dvd suespain? I put it on for the first time last night. How are you finding the dvd?

 

[suespain]

I must admit its the thought of exercising that I hate, once I'm doing it I'm fine (January I found it too cold too bother - excuses!).

30 Day Shred, started it last month, did 5 consecutive days then stopped - must admit I much prefer doing the WII Exerbeat (boxercise 52 min workout) or WII More Workouts (step aerobics).

I found it too much standing up, then getting on floor, standing up, getting on floor - I don't have much space in my living room! You never know I might incorporate it again in March to get to my 15 hrs if I get fed up of the WII exercises!

 

[wannabe_yummy_mummy]

I didn't have any weights so I was prancing round my living room with baked beans in my hands!
I have the active fit fitness games for wii, also have zumba on wii but don't find it reactive enough. I'll have to pull out all the stops to try and get 15 hrs in!

 

[Safi]

Hi, can I join the challenge too please?

It sounds like a fab way to stay motivated! I completed Day 9, Level 2 of the 30 Day Shred today so I'm gradually getting back in to exercise, but I like a challenge .

I will aim for 15 hours too (would like to push it towards 20 hours if possible). I have lots of essays to do for my final year modules in a week :cry:, but this will really help me to stay focused on exercising and sticking to plan and not hide away in the books.

I'm excited already, it is March yet ? x

How have you found level 2? Is it much more intense than level 1?

I have done 4 days on level 1 but I am starting to find my body is used to it now, not sure if I need a bit extra fitness before venturing onto level 2, or whether I should go straight for it x x x
