Surprisingly I received quite a bit of interest about my little challenge. Quite a few people have asked me if we all do the same challenge, do we track progress the same way, workout the same amount of days in a week, etc etc etc. Simple answer is NO.
What I found in the past is if you try to get a group of people doing the exact same thing, regardless if you are working out, going on a trip, whatever the case is, sooner or later you will get into disagreements, some will get offended, and the fun ends right there.
So, with this challenge, challenge yourself. Nobody else. If you want to run for 10 hours a day, even though I don't recommend it, and no fitness trainer would recommend it, if that's something you want to do, stick with it and do it. If you want to bench press 600 pounds, well, next time I see you and you can't shake my hand because you'll be sore, I'll punch you in the gut and laugh out loud. You know - LOL!
So challenge yourself. Track your own progress. If your goal is to run up and down stairs 10 times by the end of the week, that is your goal. If your goal is to lose X amount of weight, that is your goal. If you want a nice build and try to get your six pack back, like me, so be it. Make it happen. What I wanted to do with this challenge is gather everybody's weekly results, updates on how they feel, what they have accomplished, whatever the case is in a single location. That way, it will keep all of us motivated to continue on with OUR CHALLENGE. Because you'll see that everybody else is continuing on with their challenge. So, start recording your progress, and if you are up for it, next week I will have another blog post asking you to send in your updates and I'll compile them all into one big post which I'll share with everybody.
If you would like to participate, add a comment below so I can plan this out a bit.
