Week 2

Week Two Theme: Paying it Forward. Quote: "Do unto others." How many times have you been having a crummy day and all of a sudden someone does something for you or says something to you and it completely changes your day? Perhaps it doesn't happen enough, and that's where this week comes in. For these things to happen on a more frequent basis, we have to be ready to be the ones to do it. Being fit and doing life is more than exercising. We're still gonna rock our bodies this week, but we're also going to be mindful of others. This week is all about perhaps pushing ourselves outside our comfort zone. You can't be afraid to do it. Well, you can be afraid, but you also have to be willing to face that fear. WEEK TWO CHALLENGES: (Since we're all at different places in our health and fitness journeys, there will be some differing challenges.) Do something out of the ordinary for a stranger. Find a way to brighten someone's day. Pay for an elderly couple's meal at the restaurant. Give a homeless man a blanket. Volunteer. Compliment someone. Do something out of your way. Something, maybe, you've never done before. Do something else. Yep, that's (at least) two times this week, you'll be going out of your way. Reassess your pushups (or plank) today or tomorrow. And keep working them. There are pushup and plank plans all over the internet, or make up your own. Stick with it! Reassess your goals. Where are you? How are you doing? Do you need to change anything? Beginners: 150 minutes of exercise (or 20 minutes more than you did last week). Intermediate/Advanced: 30 extra minutes of intense work like last week + 200 jumping jacks. (all at once or spread out) Write four things you did well. Every night before bed. And please remember, this is just a kickstart. Find your own ways to do this challenge. Find the mindset. This week, we're looking out for others while we also shape ourselves. Homework! Questions to answer in this thread before Submission Day: 1. Tell a story of how someone went out of their way and changed your day or your life. 2. Where are you right now physically? Where do you want to be in 11 weeks? 3. What area of your life from last week can you improve on this week? Food? Exercise? Family? Career?
