30 Day Fitness Challenge!

Are you ready to take 30 days of your life and see what can happen???
There's strength in numbers and I hope you'll join me!
Beginning July 15th, for 30 days, I'll be doing the 30 Day Shred by Jillian Michaels.

It will kick my butt. But I need my butt kicked.
After seeing pics of myself from vacation (& deleting most of them), I need to kick it up a notch and get some results. I'll still be doing the Couch to 5K training but will be adding in this dvd each day.

If you haven't heard of the 30 Day Shred before, it's a 20 minute workout that combines strength training, cardio and abs. It's HARD and it WORKS.
I want to challenge myself and accomplish this.
Anybody else in?????

Here's what you need to do if you want to join me:
1. Take a before photo.
2. Take your before measurements.
(I'm going to measure hips, thighs, arms/biceps and waist.)
3. Comment here or e-mail me to let me know you're joining in! We can give each other support and encouragement the next 30 days!
4. Purchase the dvd or borrow somebody's. I've never seen it over $12 but somebody you know probably has it, so ask around!
5. Once we're finished with our 30 days, we'll celebrate our accomplishments together!!!!

Here's a button if you'd like to use it on your blog...

  22. If my shoulder wasn't injured and hurting like #@$% I would join with you too. I'm waiting to see what the hand surgeon tells us about Shelby next Tues. and whethet he will have to have surgery. If he doesn't I'm going for my MRI and I may be looking at surgery.

    I wish you the best of luck with the added workout, you can do it and don't beat yourself up so much. :)

  29. I bought the Hip Hop Abs DVD's & let me tell you, I can only do about 5 minutes at a time. The people on that DVD must be athletes. It nearly kills me.

    Following from FF. Thanks for visiting my blog.

  36. Mine may not be here in time for the 15th... but I'll start as soon as it arrives. I'm having the hubby tape me today. What fun is working out if you can have your lover help? teehee. Anywho... make sure to STRETCH before AND AFTER your workout every day. I didn't before a simple jog and was out for 2 days with a pull calf.

  37. I added the button to my blog. Do we have to post pictures and measurements? Because I am too insecure to do that. I thought I'd keep a journal about it though. I'd be happy to share any changes in weight or measurements. I'm just to embarrassed to share my stats now.

    ReplyDelete

  38. Me, me, me!! I just bought the DVD last Friday at Wal*Mart for $9. I'm so in!

    ReplyDelete

  39. Jamie...I hope you don't mind, but in addition to the button, I just did a blog post about this challenge. I cut and pasted some of what you said, but I also personalized it. If you get a chance, check it out. Let me know if you want more credit in the writting though.
