December's Challenge: I don't have time to work out

I know that it is half way through the month so it may seem silly to start a challenge now.  But I figure 30 days is 30 days should not matter when it starts.
I'm currently wrapping up my first semester of graduate school so will have some free time -well at least more time- to do something healthy for myself.  My trainer friend who urged me to join her 10 day challenge earlier (I think it was August) has invited me to her "I don't have time to work out" challenge.  It is a clean eating try to get any amount of exercise in as often as you can challenge.
With that in mind, I purchased the Beach Body 10 minute workout set of DVD's along with a 1 month supply of Shakeology- this time it's chocolate (yum).

Well the 30 day challenge starts tomorrow, just in time for the onslaught of holiday cheer and right before the dreaded New Years Resolutions.  Class for me ends on 12/24 and will restart on 1/8 so I will have at least a week with no excuses.

Keep challenging yourself!!!

Apologies

Fans!

No, I have not fallen off the face of the earth, though it may have certainly looked that way.  School started for me in the middle of October and has appropriately taken over my life.  I did attempt to continue some semblance of exercise those first few weeks, but between all the reading and papers, I have just not had the time.

Please bare with me as I continue on this educational journey.  I shall at some point be able to pick up my monthly quests again.  I ask that you enjoy past posts and past experiments.  Feel free to comment or even share your own successes.

Thanks again!!!!

ab ripper x complete

For anyone brave enough to do the ab ripper -it's from the P90X series and is more involved than the rest of this month's challenge but really does some major core work!  I did do a 5 minute ab work out on day 4 but that was just from a workout app I found and it certainly made me realize it has been a while since I've done any sit ups of any kind.  Shame on me! ;)

Exercise Tutorial - Superman

I was discussing with a co-worker about this month's challenge and she sounded very interested, but it's hard to explain how to do some of these exercises so I will be posting some how-to videos for everyone.

Keep up strengthening that core!

Running Plank

Tomorrow I have to do a running plank and cross over planks.  I had no idea what a running plank was so I had to look it up.  I do of course know what the cross over plank was.

Good luck planking if you're following along with this month's challenge!

Here's Coach Lois giving a brief rundown on the different planking positions.
