Week 6 via Ben

Week Six: Getting over the hump. Recommitting.

It's been a month now and this is when people start to relax. This is when New Year's resolutions fizzle out. The holidays are over, the Super Bowl is over, the cold of winter has us curling up in a ball when we could be out running.

Don't settle. Push the pedal.


WEEK SIX CHALLENGES:

(Since we're all at different places in our health and fitness journeys, there will be some differing challenges.)

  • Focus on your excuses again. Write them down and defeat them.
  • Commit to exercising all seven days even if it's just active recovery.
  • Get outside the box. One day, do an exercise routine you've NEVER done. Go to Zumba, try a swim class, go rollerblading. It doesn't matter what it is, but give it your all and push hard.
  • Beginners: Do 180 minutes of exercise this week. And 150 jumping jacks.
  • Intermediate-Advanced: Do your scheduled routine but add a workout from your partner. Message your partner telling them to give you an assignment.
  • Stay connected with your partner.
  • Send the Men in Black to my apartment to zap out the Super Bowl. Do not want to remember.
  • Push hard, guys. We have to stick with it even when it's getting monotonous.

And please remember, this is just a kickstart. Keep working on the things you need to work on to better your life. Maybe this encompasses all of those things, maybe it doesn't. But you know as well as I do that it's worth it to keep doing it.

Saturday I'll make an official submission thread. By Sunday, post your weekly reflections, results, and thoughts there. Be sure to take pictures if you can. Get creative.

Do good, do life.
