RED Team "Earning my allowance" exercise challenge
Okay Red Team...we need to do some chores to earn our allowance this week!
I've got kids and they have each have reward charts, on those charts are a list of chores that need to be completed during the week in order for them to earn an allowance. What you need to do is this -
1. Make a list of "chores" one "chore" for each day of the week, we'll start on Monday since its short notice (Monday October 20 - Sunday October 26)
Here is an example of your chore list-
Monday - 30 minute walk
Tuesday - Last chance workout during TBL commercials
Wednesday - 45 minutes yoga
Thursday - 15 minutes on the elliptical
Friday - walk somewhere instead of driving
Saturday - weights
Sunday - Workout DVD
2. At the end of the week, when you've completed all your "chores" you will have earned your allowance. If you can make it through the week, you need to take go buy yourself something, doesn't have to be anything major just SOMETHING! A new book, a starbucks coffee, a new toe nail polish, a nice candle, a flower...you get the idea.
Can you make a list and stick to it for 7 days?
Post up your lists! Check those chores off as they are done! Then we want to know what you bought for yourself!
