It’s Week 8 so we’re finishing up the 2nd month of our Wonderful Winter Challenge. I know that some of you in the U.S. have finally started seeing some winter weather. Down here in southern Alabama, we’ve had cold weather for a total of about a week since October. Yesterday I was wearing shorts, a t-shirt, and had the windows open. :P
Now that I’ve gotten that little poke at everyone out of the way, let’s get on to the challenge.
CARDIO (up to 180 pts per day)
We’re going to aim to get out of our comfort zone this week. I want everyone to try at least one new-to-you cardio workout this week and run with it. Sometimes our bodies plateau simply because we’ve gotten used to the same cardio workout over and over again. For those at that point, this may be just what you need to get yourself going again. For every minute you put into a new-to-you workout you will earn 1 point. There is a 3 hour max per day on cardio points this week.
STRENGTH TRAINING (up to 150 pts per day)
Rather than counting in reps this week, we’re going to be counting our Strength Training in minutes. I realize that this may be more difficult. I can personally break out 30 reps of 5 exercises in about 10 minutes, so I’m sure we’re all going to be pushing ourselves with this one. For every day that you complete at least 15 minutes of Strength Training you will earn 100 points. If you complete part or all of that 15 minutes by trying out a SP video, give yourself an extra 50 pts.
CALORIE INTAKE (up to 150 pts per day)
We still need to be tracking our food, so this section isn’t changing. For each day that you track your food using your SP Food Tracker, you will earn 50 points. If you stay within your SP-recommended calorie range, you will earn an additional 100 points each day.
WONDERFUL WINTER CHAT (up to 20 pts per day)
Since we’re trying to get ourselves into new activities this week, our chat will also relate to that. For each day that you post on the Team Chat and tell us about what kind of new activities you’re trying out this week (fitness-related, family-related, recipes, or anything else new-to-you) you will earn 20 pts.
WATER (50 pts per day)
It’s still all or nothing… You’ll earn 50 pts for getting in your 8 glasses of water each day.
BONUS (50 per per week)
On Friday or Saturday, if you post a Weekly Update Blog, you will earn 50 pts. Remember that you must list your monthly goals and tell us how you’re doing in meeting each one individually.
Good luck everyone!!!
