Our next 30 day challenge

So after the previous 30 day Vegan challenge I felt a little lost as to how to precede with the blogging.  December was a good month for dallying around, but now that we have entered January it is time to get down to business.  So I researched some other 30 day challenges, some were silly, like "be nice to a stranger every day for 30 days" blah! some were interesting "30 day photo challenge" and some seemed impossible "travel somewhere you haven't been for 30 days" who has the time for that.   So while perusing pinterest I came across this 30 day fitness challenge. 

A fitness challenge seemed like a great fit, it is January and that is the time for getting into shape, and pretending to be serious about being fit.  I kid I kid, I would like nothing better than to be a healthy svelte chickarino. 

So the website I found is called bodyrock.tv  The girls on this site are built and I mean seriously ripped.  However the videos I have watched so far they have been really encouraging and friendly.  There are also some diet tips (though most are on the meaty side). 

So Day 1 was a simple fitness test.  It was only 7 minutes long, and you just had to write down how many of each exercise you could do in 50 seconds. 

See what I mean, look at that butt

So even though the test was only 7 minutes it definitely took my breath away.  But I guess this is just a starting point and at the end of the month I will compare results with the hopes that it gets a lot better.

In the name of science I again weighed myself (though I won't share the number, I am glad to say I only gained 1.5 pounds over the holidays... so pretty much what I lost during the vegan challenge).  But I will share my somewhat sad results.  

Squat Jump 33
Push up 15 (the sad girly kind)
burpee 13 (these are yucky)
high knees 85
switch lunges 26
tough jumps 20 (I think she called them something else, I couldn't catch it with her accent)
sit ups 26 

So give it a go and maybe come February we will all look like the body rock girls :)
