February Fitness Challenge

With the start of the new month approaching in a few days, there will be a new challenge. Keep up with all those burpees, push ups & squats for the remainder of January and get ready for some core work!  Those of you who like a challenge know how to increase the load or the intensity to fit your activity level.

An AMRAP is "as many rounds as possible". So, on Saturday's you will do as many rounds as you can of the 3 movements for 20 minutes. Start your timer...begin doing the noted sit ups, v-sit ups and plank. At the end of 20 minutes how many did you complete? Let's say the first week you did 4 full rounds and you did only 5 of your V-sits when you reached 20 minutes. You would have completed 4 + 15 reps.

Here is a V sit up

Eating Clean

What do you have for breakfast? Today I found a new way to enjoy my eggs in the morning. I took 1/2 cup of egg whites (13g of awesome protein & no fat!) and whipped them, then added some chopped spinach. I poured this into the waffle maker and topped it with Frank's Hot Red Sauce. The texture was perfect (different, but turned out as I had hoped). I can't wait to try this again with my banana & eggs. Stay tuned!

I couldn't even finish all of it. That made my dog happy. 

My outdoor playground

How cool is it to have your very own outdoor fitness playground? VERY COOL!! 

And it's even better when you get to invite your fitness friends over to join you. 

Bring your group out to train outdoors! 

This is The Leviathon by our company -The Big Bad Rack 

40' hand over hand, 6 20' rope climbs, 16 wallballs targets, Salmon Ladder, Parallel Chin, Battling Rope hook ups, & plenty of space for chin ups & squats.

There are many tires for flipping, along with a 1/4 mile fitness trail with rock climbing walls, log jumps, chain climbs, straw bale jumps, chin up rack, and tire runs all within a beautiful wooded setting. 

Rain or shine, you are bound to have a great time. 

Here are some links to some video trailers of groups working hard & having fun.
