So i was going to wait for 10 members, but maybe we need to motivate some folks! The challenge will officially begin the 21st of April (this gives you time to mentally prepare). Use this week to warm-up (maybe a slow mile each morning). I'm no doctor, if you feel uncomfortabe doing this challenge at any time PLEASE STOP! The challenge will be 5 days a week (Monday-Friday). Saturday will be a cool-down day where we will always Walk 1 mile at a 15 minute mile pace and Sunday is always a day off (give that hard working body a day to relax...)
Week One:
Mon-Fri: 2-mile walk each day at a 15 minute mile pace.

Week Two:
Mon-Wed & Fri:2 mile walk at a 15 minute mile pace.
Thursday: 3 mile walk at a 15 minute mile pace.

Week Three:
Mon,Wed,Fri: 2mile walk at a 15 mintue mile pace & Strength training (arms monday, legs wednesday, abs friday, or mix it anyway you like as long as you are only training one muscle group each day)
Tues:2 mile walk at 15 minute mile pace
Thurs:3 mile walk at a 15 minute mile pace.

Week Four (DIG IN!):
Mon, Wed, Fri: 2mile walk at a 15 minute mile pace & strength training of all three muscles groups each day (make sure you take tues and thurs off to let your muscles recover between strength training days)
Tues & Thurs: 3 mile walk at 15 minute mile pace.

That will complete the first challenge. I would rate this challenge intermediate. This is the first challenge, so i will tweak the challenges as we go along based on member suggestions, so lets get ready for next Monday, give this challenge a try and keep updating those weigh ins! Remember...you will NEVER walk alone!

After each 3 month period, I'm going to total all weight loss of each individual member taking part in the challenge and give away a prize! Something diet/excercise oriented, but helpful and uselful(not just a "filler" prize). PLEASE be honest and I will obviously NOT be eligible for prizes, lol. SO let's do this and give it our all! Also, beginning this week I'm going to post my daily food journal on my blog, so if you are looking for some idea on what to eat, or maybe just need some guidance, you can find it on my blog!

Hi to all! I think I'll start posting my walking until we have 10 members. I walked for 30 minutes today but forgot to wear my pedometer! I need to wear it from now on to log my steps -- I know they're low. How are both of you doing?
