Last year, I launched the Spring Forward to Action Challenge on April 2nd, in part because that was the day we pushed the clocks forward an hour. I haven’t decided on a launch date as yet for this year, but be assured, you’ll be the first to hear about it. But instead of just launching the fitness challenge, this year, I want to build up slowly and part of the build up will come in the form of basic training messages for the next four weeks or so.
The basic training messages will generally be applied to the first fitness post of the day and I’ll be linking us up to a board post over in the forums to help track how people are doing and of course, I’ll do my best to answer any questions that come up. It’s important to note that I will not necessarily describe every exercise that is listed in the basic training messages. In general, the basic training will look like the following:
Basic training: 30 Minutes of Cardio – Walking; 20 minutes of standard walking (taking the kids to school)
or this:
Basic Training: 15 minutes of deep stretching and 30 minutes of guided Yoga using A.M. Yoga
If I cite a specific format that I use like a DVD or Tape, I’ll do my best to provide a link to it so you can pick up a copy if you’re interested and remember, this is just the information to help share and educate. I’d love for you to join in, but never feel like you have to if you have your own workout. Along with the basic training messages, I’ll continue a series on different types of workouts from cardio to flexibility to strength training.
Also, be sure to check out Clarissa’s work on Yoga. She’s offering a lot of great information on classes, format, poses and much, much more. I like Yoga and I use it as often as I can. Finally, we’ll also be asking others to share their fitness success and workouts from Valorie’s 10,000 steps a day to Ed’s fitness swimming and much, much more.
So, with ten days of the New Year down – I look forward to working with you to achieve whatever fitness goals and resolutions you have set for yourself. Have a great rest of the day.
