Lent Work-Outs

The Lent Workout Challenge that I did was seriously great motivation to keep me moving daily (although I did miss one day at the beach over spring break when I was too depleted recouping on the couch :)). The dogs loved the walks that we did and I truly feel like they're slowly transitioning to being walkers rather than distance runners. It also was fun to add a bit more diversity to work-outs and to explore more areas. I'm still not pushing it hard by any means, but a bit of physical activity every day also more or less kept my stress and waist line in check.....

So here they are:
1: 3.6m jog, pushups/situps, 3 minute plank
2: 2m walk with dogs, 2 minute plank
3: 3ish m jog with dog
4: walked to grocery store w dogs

  1. Impressive (and fun) to see all those workouts. Insanity is really hard! I would love to do it again sometime. Just need to snag someone's DVDs in the future again.

  2. Wow! Nice work! You got in so many great workouts during the month! For 6 months last year, I challenged myself to fit in 30 workouts in 30 day (or 31 depending on the # of days in the month) and it was so motivating. I still took rest days so would double up 1-2 days a month to reach my goal.
