The Fitness Challenge Ends

Today, March 2, 2011, marks the end of Alice Benton's Blogs Fitness Challenge.  It was really hard, but worth it.  This is a great program.  It strengthened my body and helped me to be more energetic.  It's over, but I intend of continuing a life of fitness.  I highly recommend Jillian Michaels - 30 Day Shred.    

My total beginning weight dropped by thirteen pounds.  Which is great for me and accurate for what I did during the month.  If you would like more information about the preceding comment or to read about the fitness challenge please view the Fitness Challenge Page.  You may access it by clicking on its link located at the top of this blog.  For the final comments scroll down to the last statements.

It was a success!

Fitness Challenge Update

The fitness challenge has been going good in my opinion.  Today is day 24 and currently there have been forty-two comments, although later tonight there will be at forty-three.  Each participant has had to deal with a hurdles, but it seems like we are all hanging in there.

This is the last week of the fitness challenge.  We are quickly approaching the end and I feel accomplished.  If you are interested in following it until we have finished, please read the comments daily.  You can also read from day one and get up to speed.  It has been challenging and will continue to be until the end.  I have enjoyed the daily workout and comments.  I hope you have too.

The Upcoming Fitness Challenge

Mentally, I'm preparing to get ready for this physical challenge.  I have gathered all the necessary things.  I have my 30 Day Shred DVD; check.  I have two small hand weights; check.  I have a yoga mat; check.  I have a scale to weigh myself tomorrow so I will know whether I lost 20 pounds; check. 

I know it's not going to be easy, but I will not give up.  I'm ready.  Now all I need to do is wait for Tuesday, February 1, 2011 and it begins. 

I feel inspired and I know the participants are too.

Fitness Challenge Reminder

I'm excited about the upcoming Fitness Challenge!  I can't wait to get started with Alice Benton's Blog Followers Margaret and Sara, on Tuesday, February 1, 2011.  I hope they feel the same.  There are strength in numbers.  We'll make it through those 30 days together.  I also believe being accountable by reporting in to the blog daily will give others strength.

For those of you who would like to join us behind the scenes, please do!  Hurry up and purchase your DVD or dust of the one you already have, like I am and put it use.  You'll need some light weights, a mat if you're not on a rug and determination. 

If you don't want to participate, please support us and check on our daily progress.

Fitness Challenge

Alice Benton's Blog has decided, in the spirit of being better during 2011, to start a fitness challenge.  Since we're talking about health I have to break and say, "May God continue to bless the ultimate exercise guru, Jack LaLanne.  Rest in peace."  You have to love a person that makes any decade above your own look great.  He rocked his nineties! 

An Alice Benton's Blog follower* and myself will try the 30 Day Shred, by Jillian Michaels from the Biggest Loser. The DVD promises that you will lose 20 pounds if you dedicate twenty minutes for 30 days.  Every day we will simply let you know how it's going.  We will also let you know if the weight was lost a month later.

The follower* will receive a gift bag from Alice Benton's Blog for participation.  Wish us luck and let me know if you have a challenge in mind.


*Follower and start date to be announced
