(#) Fun idea - 10 day challenge

I just read about this on one of my Spark People boards.  Do cardio every day for 10 days, no excuses.  Even if that means a walk around the block one day because you're swamped with stuff, just do it.  I think it could be a really great burst to get me going on a good work out routine and help me see how I really can fit workouts into my day.  Then maybe I won't continue to work out every day, but will at least 4-5 times a week.

Re: (#) Fun idea - 10 day challenge

  • That's a great idea!  I was going to attempt something similar starting tomorrow morning.  Have you started already? 
  • hmm...that's an interesting idea. It might just work.
    Slainte!

  • Yeah, I decided to count my workout yesterday as Day 1, but I could count from today.  Heaven knows I could stand to work out 11 days or 11111111 days in a row!

  • This is the exact thing that I would be really motivated for for like the first 6 days and the rest of the days I'd do like a jumping jack in my office and call it good.
  • I am IN! Starting tomorrow?

    Haha, well we'll see how I do by day 3, even.  I

  • If you ladies do a check in tomorrow, I promise I will do cardio before work.  It is super tough to hit the gym at 6am, but I feel so much better without the pressure of trying to go after work. 
  • Does walking up the 2 flights of stairs to my apt numerous times a day count? ?In the last few days I've probably hauled 200 lbs worth of stuff up, too, so that's gotta count for something.

  • I like this idea. Can we start tomorrow? And is there a minimum time limit? I have a feeling 30 seconds of jumping jacks in my office won't cut it.

  • I am hoping that I will do cardio 10 days in a row, but I'm not going to make it a challenge. I am starting cardio kickboxing class 2x/week tomorrow. If yesterday's orientation is any indication, it's going to kick my butt. HARD. My poor body may need a day to recover in there. And unless it's gets warmer outside, going for a walk around the block would not be an option.

    Good luck to those doing it!

  • I think we should put 10 minutes as the time limit to make sure you're at least getting up your heart rate for a bit of time. 

    Yay, I'm excited!  We can check in tomorrow.  I think I'm starting mine from yesterday, but maybe I'll just have such good momentum going that I'll do 12 days!

    Morning workouts are so awesome.  It *sucks* dragging yourself out of bed, but it's so great to go into work having that already done for the day.  I always feel awesome about myself when I do my workout in the a.m.  In the evening, I have about 32 excuses.  Tired, need to walk the dog, need to get dinner, got stuck at work,e tc....

  • Hmm, I might jump in on this. But I'm counting the sessions with my personal trainer in there too. They're not always cardio, but, uh, they're brutal! (And can I just say--best.Christmas.present.EVER!)
  • This sounds great...I'm in.  I'm still shaking off this cold, so a 10 minute minimum will be good for me for the first day or two.  But, I like the idea of this.

     

  • I'm in!

    I didn't get to do my 1 mile walk today but I did 3 flights of stairs 4 times today at work. And pushed a cart full of 17 keyboard drawers across campus. They may sound light but those suckers were much heavier than I expected.
