I posted this to a team I'm on ("Sparking as a Team"......awesome group) and thought I'd post it as a blog too so I can refer back to it for motivation:

As background, we are over half way through our monthly challenge; however, We don't have as many participants as we started out with so we are going to see if we can make up the difference by the end of the month. The goals will be for each of us to do the following every day for the rest of February:

72 squats
34 push ups
250 sec planks
5.08 miles (walk, run, ski, bike....however you can move)

Not saying we will or won't complete it, but it's great to have something to push ourselves to do just a little more. Here's my post:


Lets give it our best everyone. Just think how great we'll feel if we meet the goals or come close to them; how strong our abs will become with 4 minutes of planks (I'm sure side planks would count too if you want to change things up a little); how strong our chest and triceps will be with the push ups (and the awesome definition in our shoulders too)....how toned our legs and buns will become with the squats; the calories we'll burn by logging in the miles (burn calories=eat more or lose more weight...both winners). Check these out for motivation:
