April Cardio Challenge

It's a new month with a new challenge - Cardio Challenge.  The challenge for this month is to do at least 5 days of cardio for 30 mins of more.  Who is on board?  Getting that cardio in with help shed the unwanted weight and fat.  Today I completed an hour of bootcamp and then went for a 20 minute bike ride.  What are some of your favorite cardio exercises?

March Challenge = Week 1 Ab Challenge

Our March Challenge is here.....and it's an ab challenge to get that midsection ready for the summer!  This challenge is to be done in conjuction with your current workout.  It's advised to work it in 3-4 days a weeks.  Remember that abs are made in the kitchen, so to see results along with this challenge you have to make sure that you eat properly.  Each week you will receive six (6) exercises that you will perform for a minute each. After the circuit, you will rest for a minute and then repeat it.  Below are the six (6) exercises for week 1.  I will post a video soon of all the exercises just in case you don't know what they are.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Complete each exercise for a one (1) minute.  REST and then repeat.

Updates......

This morning I had a great strength training workout.  Deadlifts are one of my favorite exercises. I'm probably going to be sore in my lower back though tomorrow from the DL's.  My lower back is one of my weakest areas that I need to continue to work on.  In due time, with continued workouts I will be a nice stronger, lean back.  :)  My C25K challenge is also going great.  I'm on week 3, day 2.  I'll get outside today after work to go for a run.  It's so beautiful and sunny here in NC.  How are you doing with your workout program(s)?
