Challenges - Get Your Motivation On!

2012 Simple WRB Challenge

January 2, 2012 - February 29, 2012
  • No teams - although you obviously can reach out to others to work out with.
  • Track miles of Walking, Running, Biking or minutes walked, ran, and biked.
  • Note any other type of exercise that you did for the week (such as ChaLean Extreme  ;o)
  • DOC of the Week
  • Post fitness related pics - either you working out, sweaty you, workout gear, healthy meals....you remember.
  • Key to this particular challenge - do an activity to post about every day.  ;o)  Doesn't have to be big, but causes us to make it a point to do something active every day.

Send me an email on Friday letting me know what you did and any addtional pics you haven't posted that could go into my blog.  I will not keep a running total.  I will just brag about each of the challengers in my blog that weekend.

    • Your picture (s) for the week
    • How many miles you Walked/Ran/Biked (individually...I'll combine for group totals)
    • How did the Deck of Cards Exercise go
    • If you did a race (what race was it, how did it go, how did it feel, stats)
    • Any other activity you did
  • I will send an update to everyone through this blog by the end of day Tuesday
Explanation of Deck of Cards Exercise
  • Each suit in a deck of cards represents an exercise
  • I will pick a new card for each week
  • We will do the exercise picked for the numbe rof times on the card

Explanation of Pictures
  • There really are no rules other than the pictures need to be related to fitness.  If I can even remotely get the idea of fitness out of the picture, it counts.
  • Not every picture has to have people in it.  Could be a picture of the week's new purchase of running shoes.  A good example is my friend Laura had a bull cross her path during a run on the East Peoria trail.  If she was able to get a picture without angering the bull, this would have been an awesome picture.
