Completed Mini-Challenges

Days 1 to 5

Watch what you eat!

Guidelines:
Since you're already on a diet, make sure you are eating protein rich and low fat foods. Protein is the food for your muscles. Take a few days to carefully monitor what you eat. Calories aren't as important at first, just concentrate on fat and protein content and the calories will fall in line!!

Days 1 to 14

Drink at least 5 glasses of water every day

3 times per week you should try to do some form of Strength Training (free weights, resistance band, or nautilus) for at least 15 minutes. Muscles also need water to build themselves, so drink lots of water!!

Days 6 to 10

add 10 minutes of Strength/Resistance Training

Guidelines:
Instead of doing 15 minutes 3 times a week, up it by 10 more minutes and do 25 minutes. Put your mp3 player on and pick up the weights, you won't even notice the time flying by!

Days 11 to 14

add a 20 minute walk to your routine

Guidelines:
Use the walk as a cool down or a warm up, but walking for 20 minutes in addition to a 20-30 minute Strength training routine is a great way to begin forming great habits! :-)
