Mini-Challenges

Current Mini-Challenges - Week 1 (report due 27 Nov 09)

Weeks 1 to 2

Bust a Move

Guidelines:
Its been a long day and you've worked hard. Right now, that gym bag isn't looking that appetizing. So, you look over at that workout DVD you purchased on a whim that is collecting dust in the back of your collection. Most likely, you'll talk yourself out of both options. But you don't need a work out tape and you don't need the gym for this one! For three days out of the work week this week, put on some of your favorite jams and bop around your living room for 15 minutes. Caution: Side-effects may include unadulterated fun!

Weeks 1 to 6

Do One Fitness Activity That You've Always Wanted to Try But Never Have

Guidelines:
This objective can be completed at any time during the six weeks. I'm sure we've all wanted to do something but make excuses such as, "Oh, I wouldn't be good at it" or "I don't have the time." Well, how will you know if you don't try? This is a great way to do some introspective work while getting fit. Some possible suggestions: Rock climbing, Zumba, Midnight Bowling, etc. Please feel free to share what you did! :-)

Weeks 1 to 6

Night Out Drink Out

Guidelines:
Take a night to go out with some friends but replace alcoholic beverages with water or diet soda. Every drink you consume is costing you between 80 calories for a basic rum and diet coke to several hundred calories for a fruffy drink. So, on the night you go out with friends, kick the drinks and save the calories!

Weeks 1 to 6

Mall Ping Pong

Guidelines:
We all know how hectic the malls can be during the holiday season but, unfortunately, it is a rite of passage in our capitalist country. So, instead of getting down about it, help yourself out while doing it. Start at the opposite end of the mall that you want to start at. Walk the length of the mall, do 1/2 of the shopping that you need to do down there. Head back to where you started and do 1/2 of your shopping there. Repeat. This will not only give you an opportunity to drop some of those bags off at your car, it will also give you an opportunity to walk the length of the mall twice. In winter it is harder to find opportunities to walk but it is a good thing to try to take advantage of an indoor walking space such as inside of a mall.

Weeks 1 to 6

Wrap Session

Guidelines:
Get some people together to wrap presents with. Everyone can bring one or two tubes of wrapping paper to contribute. Make it a healthy evening by replacing processed foods with a veggie try. Everyone will benefit. It'll be a get-together that is heavy on the good times and light on the calories. Better yet, you'll be able to have a decoupage of different wrapping papers under your tree because you'll be able to use all of your friends' paper choices.

Weeks 1 to 6

Enjoy your Friends and Family During the Holidays

Guidelines:
This might be the hardest challenge but really, slow down and enjoy these moments. Sometimes we forget the purpose of Christmas (or any other holiday) in the pursuit of material goods. We eat on the run, we get frustrated by loved ones, and we spend extra time outside of the house. So, during this time, make sure to take one night a week to sit and eat with family. You'll learn about what is going on with your loved ones, eat slower, and most likely eat less.
