Week 5 via Ben

Week Five Theme: Back to the Basics.

We're nearly done with the first month so it's time to dust off those goals we made at the beginning and figure out where we stand. It's also time to think about The next month of the year. Remember, we don't look at New Year's Resolutions as yearlong pipedreams, we set realistic quantifiable goals and we work toward them.


WEEK FIVE CHALLENGES:

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

  • On Feb 1st, write down the goals you made during week one and assess yourself.
  • Whatever the result, turn the page and write five new realistic and quantifiable goals for you to achieve by March 1st. (Remember, it's a leap year!) Maybe they are a continuation, maybe you have new goals. Whatever the case, write them down.
  • On Feb 1st, max out on pushups or hold your plank. Write the number down.
  • Beginners: Do 160 minutes of exercise this week. (40 minutes 4 times?) And 100 jumping jacks.
  • Intermediate-Advanced: Do your normal routine, but add 300 jumping jacks into your week.
  • Keep planking and pushing up!
  • Oh hey look, we're having lots of cool sales on Do Life gear. BUY SOME OF THAT. lol just kidding. OR AM I?
  • Stay connected with your partner. Keep the conversation and accountability going. On Wednesday, create a special/fun workout for your partner and send it to them. Complete the one they send you by Sunday.

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.
