2/17/15: Daily Exercise & Water Challenge

[mom2boxers]

The daily exercise and water challenge is designed to keep us on track with fitness and getting our fluids. We can add intensity and ounces as we go. Please modify based on your own personal fitness level or any injuries you have and remember you can break this up throughout the day.

Check in with what you've completed or any challenges you faced for the day.


Exercises to do today:

40 jumping jacks

30 second plank

20 tricep dips

Water: (I also count the water I use to make tea or coffee in my total as long as there's no carbonation):

60 ozs.  

*Clarification - the above is to do in addition to anything you have planned separately. Basically it's a starting point so we all get a little activity and water in each day.

mom2boxers thanks!! I did this for like a week on A14 at the other place, but I'm going to try and keep up here! Are you posting everyday for us?

I don't have a workout goal in place. I'm not even focused on exercise yet until next week. But I will include my water intake.

Water Goal is 48 oz. Haven't had a drop yet ?

Added a clarification to the original post. I didn't explain myself well. Basically try to do the exercises I list and check in once you're done. I'll mix it up each day so everyone gets variety and we're all moving even if it's small steps in the beginning.

I understand about the water. I'm only at about 30 ozs for the day and it gets tougher to finish the later in the day it gets.

I will do my best. Pinterest will be my friend.

mom2boxers - Ohhh! I was about to say I was going to just do your exercises. Lol. Ok, I'm going to try to do it.

I LOVE THIS!

Edited: I added 30 push ups because DD loves it when I do them and kiss her head on the way up. Traded jumping jacks for squats because I am in a phone meeting and those are quieter. Water goal is 100 oz.

mom2boxers Thanks for doing this. If you ever have a problem keeping up then let us know. We could farm out one day a week to different people, share the responsibility.

Am I the only lazy one who looks at this and grumbles?!

Done with my fitness and Level 1 of the 30 Day Shred;

At about 40 ozs of water; may get another 5-10 before bed but probably not the whole 20 I have left.

I did zero exercise, had Subway for dinner, and have only had about 24 oz of water. I suck.

[mom2boxers]

sstwinklinglites - You don't suck. It just takes a bit to get going. Mmm - Subway sounds good.

theophania - Here's a good video that demonstrates how to do them.

I'm trying to finish my second glass of water for the day. I'm usually really good about drinking tons of water.
