30 Day Fitness Challenge

DAY ONE

I was in the best shape of my life back in May; personal trainer, working out 5 to 6 times a week and eating right! However, it all came to a screeching halt when I over trained and ended up with a stress fracture. It put me out for 4 months, however I did discover swimming and fell in love so that is a win from a negative!  Now I am on a mission to get back on track. I do better when I have a goal and my triatholon is still out a ways, so I figured...30 day challenge!

I am also dying with anticipation as this grueling wait continues to go pick up our son and I need something to keep me busy, keep my mind per-occupied.  Here is how the 30-day challenge for me works.

The exercise has to be fast and convenient, as if Cy was home and I was short for time. I need to get the most bang for my buck. These exercises will be effective and efficient, incorporating cardio and functional training along with healthy meals. There are a few things you should know about me...I EAT CARBS and I always will!!!  I do believe diets are different for each person and each body type.

Day One:

I did Functional Training at home tonight. I purchased some floor mats (thanks to my girl Adrienne for taking me shopping at Sam's Club). Set up a whole area in the basement to do all my exercises.

  1. 1 minute Plank
  2. 50 Squats
  3. 25 Pilates Leg Lifts on each side for a total of 50
  4. 30 Crunches
  5. 15 Sumo Squats
  6. 50 Calve raises
  7. 100 Arm Circles - 50 forward/50 backward
  8. 15 Push-Ups
  9. 50 Jumping Jacks
I then moved onto this quick routine I found on Pinterest!




Peace and Love
