Week 5

Week 5: March 1st - March 7th

Physical Challenge: Interval Training . (# of 10 minute intervals)
What you do is start 2 min easy in place jog, then do 60 sec fake jump rope, go back down for 60 sec of easy jog, then 60 seconds of high knees, then 60 sec easy run then 60 seconds of jumping jacks, 60 seconds of slow jog, then 60 seconds of a jump squat, repeat up and down, can go for 30 seconds of the high intensity when tired! this just revs your heart and fools it into fat loss! I say we measure how many 10 minute intervals we can do for the week! The person who does the most minutes wins. Easy to do no equipment can do it any where any time! Thanks Daylemarie for the idea!!

Bonus Challenge: New Dishes (see Below)

Remember to post your results! We are a quarter of the way to the goal!!

Heads up we are doing pedometer challenge next week so grab one next time you are at the store.

Bonus Challenge for Week 5

This week's challenge will again have to do with healthy eating. For each dinner that you try a new, healthy, meal you will earn 5 points. The requirements are: it has to be a meal you've never eaten before and it has to have around 700-800 calories or less, and it doesn't have to be home cooked. (For example: you can eat out, or buy a pre-packaged meal that fits the requirements.) You can earn up to 35 points this week, so good luck!
