I found myself alone at the gym yesterday when I arrived about 4.40 so I decided to check out the 'man' weights and found a good one for triceps. I can't lift much (yet!) but I can feel it working and my arms really need it!
How's everyone going with their challenge? My status is slightly bored but still very determined! Pilates tomorrow so I can break up the gym workout routine!
Keep up the great work y'all started just a week ago!

Almost completed my first week, tomorrow will do it, I think the first will be the hardest, now I can't tell myself I can't do it or don't have time!
Congrats to everyone working so hard, coming into the hard time to stick to your New Years goals and resolutions, thanks for helping me keep going. I only started last month with the exercise challenge, it made such a difference last month, pushing me to meet my goal.
My goal for January is to complete a total of 15 workouts (averaging 3 per week, but allowing flexibility if needed). I also have built in a little incentive for myself if I meet my challenge ($40 to buy books), with the potential to earn extra for each additional workout completed ($5 extra per workout).
1- 1/2/14, 20 minutes walking 3.5 mph, 30 minutes strength training
2- 1/3/14, 60 minutes walking on treadmill (10 3.5 mph, 50 3.0 mph)
3- 1/4/14, 60 minute brisk walk at the lake
4- 1/5/14, 60 minute brisk night walk
5- 1/7/14, 45 minutes strength training
