I've worn a pedometer everyday for over two years now. I've been getting 10,000 steps a day everyday since then (with the exception of one day when I was sick last year). So you can imagine the panic I felt when I noticed my pedometer was missing!
A while ago, I was writing about possibly giving up the pedometer, but I never did. There were so many challenges that required one, that it's gotten to be such a habit to wear it. Plus, I think it motivates me to make sure I'm moving enough.
I had my training today and it was another intense workout! He really worked me hard today. I probably sweat gallons, it was a tough workout!
I was doing stair climbing while holding onto a 35 pound bag of sand, three burpees with weights and two bear claws (walking across the floor like a bear), doing these exercises for a total of six minutes. I think I did well getting through his routine 3.33 times.
Hey friends, I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you about a new club in town. It's a Fit Club. Once a week we open our doors to the community and invite you to spend an hour working out with us. It is free of charge so all that is required is a positive mind, a healthy attitude and a smile.
The workout will vary from week to week. They will be announced ahead of time so you can be prepared. You will get to experience some of the hottest workouts from T25, P90x and Piyo just to name a few. The workouts will last anywhere between 30min-60.
My training is getting more challenging! My personal trainer brought up the intensity today and it was INTENSE! Before we began the session he told me it was going to be a tough workout… he wasn't kidding.
Before starting the workout, my trainer checked my diet from the food journal I use. He didn't have much to recommend that I change with the exception of getting some more protein. I think he's impressed with my diet as he told me he tried a vegan based protein powder as opposed to the usual whey protein he's been having.
I'm sorry for the delay in posting the results of the challenge. I had to wait for pictures and information about how my team did before I could post it.
As you may have already read, my team, Healthy Living CT, came in at number two. I'm very proud of my team, I think we all did an awesome job! The way the competition was set up, each team accrued points for each exercise class they attended at the YMCA. My team could not make as many classes as the winning team, which was the Totally Awesome team. A special shoutout to Alicia Pecora, who was on the winning team, who I think made most of the classes.
