Week one of +Lorna Jane and +Fit Approach, LLC #mnbchallenge is officially over. I was so excited to start this challenge! The first week focused on "moving".
Day 1 was "Sweat-it-out!" where I was able to show my favorite way to sweat. Of course I picked the stationary bike. I love to be on the bike. I feel great with it and just rack up the mileage. The bike I use at +Anytime Fitness is wonderful on my knees too, which is even better.
Day 2 was "Change it up!" where I looked for a new workout to do. This was a little more difficult, but good for me because I was able to get out of my norm. I realize I do start to get in a rut of doing my usual and in order for things to work best for me, I need to switch it up occassionally!
Day 3 was "Let's get planking!". I don't think anyone who did this challenge had an easy time with this day of the challenge. When I looked through the pictures on twitter and instagram, it looked like most had a difficult time of doing 5 minutes of planks. I definitely had to break mine up and couldn't do five minutes at once. But you know what, I was able to do it - and that's what matters. It took a lot of out me, but what doesn't challenge me, doesn't change me!
Day 4 was "Buddy up!". I don't usually pair up with others when I work out and was going to try so hard to do this, but I was at the gym after 11pm that night and there was hardly a soul in the gym at that time believe it or not. But I busted my butt alone and did my workout regardless. I think it says a lot for someone who doesn't have to have someone there to push them, but can still get their work done!
Day 5 was "Fave Friday!" where I was able to pick five fitness favorites to share with everyone. I picked quotes that keep me going, my delicious shake that I make each morning, my awesome gym, my crafty medal rack where I keep my race medals, and my amazing IR4 Buddy. These things keep me going each day.
I am looking forward to week 2! This week is all about "nourish". This is an important one for me...nourishing my body the best I can. I tried to focus on this one a lot last week as well, so I hope I can do even better this week.
