Okay guys - this week will be kind of like a wedding - something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue!
Continue with one cup of coffee per day...if you can.
Eat at least one piece of fruit per day (for someone like myself this can be a challenge as I don't like fruit).
Your fitness challenge is to do a hill repeat workout 2x this week. What does that mean? Find a hill close to your home (or drive to one), walk for 15 - 20 minutes prior to getting to the hill then walk or walk run or jog up (walk down) the hill repeatedly for 20 mintues and then walk home. Push yourself outside of your comfort zone so you are really huffing and puffing by the end of the 20 minutes.

Blog Challenge #8
Hmmm - I didn't see many comments for #7. Does that mean you didn't like it, didn't do it or couldn't post?
Well, since I am lying on the couch recovering from knee surgery I think this weeks blog should reflect my misery!
This week I want everyone to lie on the couch and watch copious quantities of television while indulging in over the counter narcotics while bossing your man slave around. Sound like fun? Trust me, it gets old in a hurry. On another note - did everyone know that the worlds top model right now is actually a man! Seriously, she/he was on Oprah!
Okay for your real challenge this week you are to do the plank twice per day for as long as you can hold it up to a maximum of one minute. See if you can improve your time as the week progresses. If you don't know what a plank is, lie on your stomach, using just the strength of your core raise your body off the floor until only your forearms and toes (or knees if it is too challenging) are on the floor. You should resemble a plank! If you don't get it, just google the exercise and you will know what I mean. This is a great core exercise. Also, decrease your coffee intake by half (just for this week).
Good luck.

Blog Challenge #7
To Kidsnme - you are doing amazing!
Your challenge this week is to complete 3 - one hour walks or walk runs or runs BUT with intervals. If you are a walker you would walk/power walk; if you are a power walker you would power walk/jog; if you are a runner you would jog/run. Try to do 5 minutes of the easier level followed by 2 minutes of the more challenging level. This can be done outside or on a treadmill.
Good Luck!

Blog Challenge #6
Well, who would have thought not eating or drinking out could make so many people cranky! Hmmmm, what does that say?
Okay, guys for those of you who have been following this weekly challenge, your challenge this week is to sign in and post your comments!
Second challenge for the week is no wine. KIDDING Diane! The second challenge is to do something fitness oriented that is outside your comfort zone or something you have been putting off trying. For example, if you walk the same route every day, do it in the other direction. Try walk running if you are a walker or go to the pool and do an aquafit class - come to our studio, Rhonda has lots of different types of classes, most of which can be done by drop ins. Try snowshoeing or dust off your bike. Sue in Costa Rica, if you see this, try a beach yoga class or zip lining! The sky is the limit.
Heads up, my next series of classes begins March 1st and runs for 6 weeks excluding spring break. There is a hip/knee class, a posture class, a back program, 2 Core Blast programs and a chronic pain class.
I want to know what everyone trys - so get posting.
