Here’s my first personal challenge in a long time. It’s one that a beginner, one returning to exercise, or advance person can incorporate into the day. The challenge is to add 5 or 10 minutes of exercise into each day of the week. The variety of exercises can be based on your activity level.
I’m starting out simple because it’s been so long since I’ve consistently done workouts. In a circuit complete a set amount of exercises and repeat for 5 to 10 minutes. This will add 30-35 minutes to an additional hour of activity into your current day. That’s not too shabby if you ask me! So here’s my plan for the week:
Complete the following exercises in sets of 10 to 15 each and repeat til 5 to 10 minutes are up:
- Basic Squats
- Lunges
- pushups
- Dips
- Jumping Jacks
- Plank
- Crunches
- butterfly crunches
- bridge
What exercises are you willing to commit to? Let’s check back in next Friday and see how the week went for you. It’s my plan to do them everyday starting today just to get my body back into consistent routine. So this week’s weekly challenge is back to basics in drinking water and starting daily exercising! What’s working for you???
