Hey guys! Checking in after the first week of our challenge. I am embarrassed to say that the circumstances of my past week have steered me away from actually putting myself through Shaun’s challenge. However, I did still get lots of physical activity and workout in and I will be adding the challenge into my routines this week.
I spent all week dealing with a bad cold, working 12+hour days at work, and then a sore back with pulled muscles. I spent 3 days all over Ohio State campus for work walking all over, hiking lots of stairs, and lifting and moving tons of boxes of heavy board, paper, and materials. So, I actually got my lifting and some cardio in while working! I did go to the gym a couple of times and do cardio as well in the evenings.
After a few days of waking up hardly able to move, I am pushing myself to add the challenge exercises to my regular cardio and workouts. It will be a great way to start them out and focus on my target area of my core/midesction. I have them all in my notebook and will be tracking this week! Jake and I are also planning on adding an eliptical machine along with our dumbells to create a little home gym alternative for the days when scheduling and work makes it hard to get to the gym.
I hope everyone is having a good time with their first weeks of the challenge and look forward to seeing how everyone is doing!!
