Remember earlier this year when I posted about the 30 day challenges? Well I got a little busy with traveling, and applying for jobs (more on those things later:), so I am just getting started on the next challenge. So here's the big challenge:
Exercise 1 hour every day
Now, this goal without additional restrictions is not a big stretch for me. I actually get a lot of exercise between running, yoga, walking, and swimming- but not every day and not necessarily for an hour. Also, it would be way too easy for me to fill this hour with walking. However, the main goals I have out of this challenge are to increase my overall fitness, and to make sure I keep exercising even as Austin becomes a solar oven for the summer. So I'm giving myself the following rules to go along with the challenge as well:
1-At least 1/4 of the exercise each week is cardio
2-At least 1/4 of the exercise each week is toning
3-No more than 1/2 of the exercise each week is walking (this might not be needed due to the first two rules)
#2 will probably be the most challenging for me, as right now I do very little in the way of toning. Some of my yoga class probably counts as toning, but to help my goals I'm planning on going to some specific toning classes, because I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have the willpower to do 105 minutes of toning every week on my own. Maybe if I found an outdoor gym...
