January 24 - A few weeks ago, I was reading a post by Kristy and learned about a challenge that would help me improve my running.
This seemed easy enough. So I vowed to do it.
Then I saw a great video by Patrick Goudeau, a Nike Elite Fitness Trainer, that promised to boost metabolism and keep me in my skinny jeans. Another pledge.
Around the same time Fitness online sent me an email with a promise for
Sensational Legs in Only 3 Moves. One more oath.
I decided to combine all three of these short and simple exercises into my own 30 Day Challenge. Each exercise takes only a few minutes to do and can add maximum benefits to my running through form, strength, and toning.
And because I want legs like these:
Creating this personal challenge appeals to me because I'm the type of person who needs variety. My runs are never the same. Different distance. Different route. Different days.
I also need direction. Focus. A goal.
My 30DC gives me a perfect combination of everything I need. At the end of thirty days, I can create a whole new challenge. Beautiful.
Have you ever joined a 30 day challenge or made your own?
thanks for the shout out & i love this idea. Plus I think the #100ups is really helping!! can't wait for your follow up post. I want those legs too.
ReplyDeleteI think 100ups is working too, and it's so easy!
DeleteI have never done a 30 day challenge but I see the value in it. I need a goal and a plan in order to get motivated..
ReplyDeleteThat's me! And I mark off the days on the calendar for the visual reminder/motivation. Don't want to leave a day without the big red X!
DeleteGood luck on your 30 day challenge!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWow, love that you made up an awesome challenge. Can't wait to hear how it goes. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI can't wait to hear how it goes too! I'm doing a 29-day runstreak for the month of February and vowed to add strength training at least 3/week too. Good luck to us both! :)
ReplyDelete(And sheesh - I want legs like that too!)
I wish there was more time in the day so that I could do a run streak - have to plan my running days week to week. Good luck!
