Since a new month is upon us it gives us a new opportunity to start fresh. Over the summer I found a 30 Day Squat Challenge online and decided to give it a try. I stuck with it for three consecutive months and then, for some reason, gave up. I'm still very much interested in fitness and keeping up with it but a busy life happened and I wasn't as regular with exercising as I wanted to be. Also, I had a goal to run in a 5K on Thanksgiving. That's not going to happen either. I haven't been consistent with running and haven't built the endurance and stamina it would take to run over three miles. I know three miles doesn't seem like a big deal but it is to me. I'm not a runner ... yet I want to do whatever I can to become one. I had a goal set to run every morning in the summer but I barely made it happen. Ugh! I can kick myself for giving up. My husband even took me to the store to buy a new pair of running shoes. Well let's make this clear, I haven't given up and I won't. It's time to get back into it!
I created another blog specifically to be a log for my exercise goals and achievements. I wasn't updating that enough so I decided to shut it down and just write my progress on here. So here we go.
I already completed Day 1 and also added a few other exercises. My body aches right now but I know that's a good feeling, a feeling that will pay off in the long run. I also use a barbell when doing the squats. Adding weights is what adds the muscles (my husband keeps reminding me of that). Start light and then keep adding. The more weight the better the result.
So if you're interested in joining me on this challenge I wish you lots of luck.
