New Challenge

Wow, this blog has been really quite the last couple days. I hope most of you are out of town and enjoying the summer. I know Audrey is. In fact, she asked that I post a challenge for this round to keep us all motivated and going. Kind of funny, after reading Becky's last post, that was exactly the challenge I was going to do. I don't know about you, but I get exercise boredom really easily. That's when I begin to slip on everything. So by, next Friday, I want you to all try a new exercise. This doesn't need to be complicated. Some examples might be, go to the library and try a new exercise video, take the kids on a new hike, try running a little bit instead of walking (you might be surprised how in shape you've become), go for a bike ride instead of running. Looking for an easy, creative idea?

This is a two part project and is worth 20 points: Do the exercise, and then tell us all about it. We could all use some new ideas! Can't wait to hear about the final results!

  2. This is a great challenge! Thanks Alicia! I definitely need to change it up and do more this week because next week I'm out of town. Although I'm just in HWHL cheerleader mode until the fall, I will do this and post. Yes I will.

  3. This comes at a perfect time. I just got our bike from the in-laws house and have been dying to hook up our trailer and try it out. I hope the bike isn't in too bad of shape oh and I do need to get a helmet for Savannah.

  4. I can't decide yet if I'm going to start training for the 5K/10K at Thanksgiving Point in October, or if I'm going to try the zoomba (sp?) class at the rec center, or if I'm going to try a little boat paddling at Bear Lake at the end of the week. We'll see...

    Oh, and I am totally into the idea of having HWHL t-shirts done. Maybe someone should do a post, and have everyone submit design ideas/pics?

  5. OK, here's the crazy new exercise thing I did, somewhat unplanned, but absolutely necessary: I hauled 40 bags of top soil (40 lbs a piece) 40 meters from my car. That's what 1600 lbs in a two day period? I also hauled 15 wheelbarrows of mulch to various parts of our yard. A crazy mid-summer yard beautification project.

    The amazing thing is that my lower back never complained. Of course that's because I was using my leg muscles. You know, the ones I've been developing over the past 6 months!
