4 Week Summer Challenge – Week 1 Round Up!!
Fit Girl | Jul 22, 2010 | Comments 0
Yeah baby, our participants be working the 20 minute workout!! It’s not too late to join lovers, you just gotta bite the bullet and do it! Is it easy? No! Is it gonna hurt? Yeah! But dang girl, tight bodies don’t come from snacking on Doritos, you dig!!
Here’s what some of the challengers had to say nearing the end of week 1:
Challenger Niamh:
I’ve been really into exercise on and off, but after recently moving abroad (short term), I’ve gone completely backwards and feeling ashamed of myself.
Anyway, I joined a gym this week and thought it would be a good thing to combine with some running! I’ve only done one day so far and my few words could be summed up as
“Sore, sore, sore, motivated, sore, sore, sore”! I have round 2 tomorrow so I’m not sure how I’ll get on… but I am determined!
I didn’t have a timer (just a clock in the distance) so I only managed 4 reps and if I’m honest, faltered during the last few. I will also admit to doing easy press-ups which I hope to improve over the weeks….
Challenger Jo:
I’m loving the challenge so far, although it is tough! After over indulging in picnics and cupcakes lately I need knocking into shape quickly before I dare to bare in a bikini. Hoping this will help shift some flab and tone me up. I’ll keep you up to date with how I’m getting on.
Challenger Kaye:
I’m really excited about the challenge, I love the gym, but it can get a bit boring doing the same ol’ thing. Love having the video to follow, and the exercises aren’t too hard to remember at 6.30am! This morning was my third time doing the workout, and I’ve already noticed a difference in how many reps I can get out in 20mins. (LOVE that it’s 20mins by the way, as I only usually have about 35-40mins in the gym in the mornings before I have to leave for work) I was surprised by how much of a sweat u worked up doing them actually! Can’t wait for the next one, thanks!!
Challenger Nicola:
So I wake up this morning after a couple of vinos last night and had that dreadful feeling that I need to do a session first thing to possibly fit all 3 sessions into the first week. 20 minutes I can surely fit that in…So feeling slightly tired and fuzzy I pick up my make shift weights, cider vinegar bottles and start the curls who would have thought it they work and are definitely heavy enough for now!I’m now doing the yoga press up properly and I can’t quite finish 5 reps in 10 mins… So that is my goal to get to 5 reps (oh and possibly to get proper weights).Am on my way to work now and feeling slightly smug about my efforts and trying to forget about how sore I am… Must stay motivated as bikini will be coming out for holiday in November when the body is usually covered from head to toe
Awesome ladies!!! And Niamh, don’t worry about doing “easy press ups,” the point is, you did it girl!! So keep on doing what you do!!!! Jo, you is gonna rock that bikini girl!! Kaye, part deux is comin right up next week! Nicola, Cider Vinegar bottles….who knew?!
We’ll keep you posted on how the girls are doing at the end of week 2! New workout next week, it’s not too late FGs!! And don’t forget, £100 of SB vouchers up for grabs!! Woot!!
