March push ups bring April sit ups

Another month down and that can only mean one thing: Time for a new challenge!

I'm proud to say that I achieved my goal of 5000 push ups during the month of March. I broke it down to 162 per day. I did as many as 311 and as few as 50, but overall I totaled 5022 push ups during the month. I didn't dial in on my healthy change as much as I would have liked, but I didn't throw all caution to the wind either. I haven't had carbonation in over three months and my water consumption has increased, but not to the goal of 100 oz per day.

Here we go with monthly challenge number three. Each month will have a different theme or goal. Also in the interest of bettering our health, each person should make a commitment to make one healthy change for the entire month. The goals are completely up to you.

The challenge for this month is (same as last month) EXERCISE. Pick an exercise (running, crunches, pull ups, squats, etc.) and set a goal for the month (run 40 miles, do x amount of crunches, etc.). Set a realistic goal and go for it!

Here is my goal and healthy change

Goal - 6000 ab moves (2k each oblique and 2k normal)
Change - Limit eating after 8 PM

I have started a thread on the Team BeachBody Message boards. You do need to register to participate on there, but let me tell you there are tons of resources and it is FREE! To register click here, then click on the join box, then scroll all the way to the bottom and click on try free membership. There is a paid membership option with lots of extra support like meal planning, access to BeachBody TV, a blog, fitness and nutritional articles, recipes, and they even give you a discount on products if you go this route. But the pay option is not necessary so please don't do it unless you see some value in what it offers.

If you want to join in the fun, just leave a comment on here or the facebook group with your goal and change.

No advanced notice this month. Decide for yourself to make a change now. Commit to something. Find your success down the road. Nothing that promises fast/instant results is sustainable. Now is the time to take your life and health into your own hands. The only thing holding you back is yourself.

Here's to a healthier us!
