So I have given this a few go arounds. I have been testing it out this week and I think it is something that everyone can do. You can modify the moves to use no weights, or different weights. Like dumbbells instead of medicine balls and so on. Don't feel limited to the what is used in the move.
If you want to participate (and you are NOT already a member of our Facebook page) and want to track your days, join us by clicking "like" over here at our I SEE Fit People page.
There, as usual, will be a Daily Tracker on our ISFP Facebook page. PLEASE use it. Don't post your totals here on the blog, or in a random posting on the ISFP Facebook page wall. There WILL BE a Daily tracker dated to that SPECIFIC day. Please get cozy with it.
We feel it is not necessary to work our abs every single day, so we have chosen to do this every second day instead. For anyone new to ab work...you will now LOVE us for giving you the day off. It is likely going to hurt, as all good things do. But be patient and the pain does go away.
There WILL, in fact be a great prize going to one lucky participant. We have a SPIbelt which has been generously donated by the company. For every day you list your totals, you will get an entry. Simple math. Thank you SPIbelt!! It is a lovely neutral color called Anthracite, which will be great for either guys or girls. Check it out: http://store.spibelt.com/Spibelt-p/spibeltparent1.htm. The prize is the WAIST version, NOT the arm band!
I am also going to do a bit of a review here as well for an armband SPIbelt sent me. I have been running with it on my shorter runs, and it rocks! It doesn't move or slide around and is perfect to stick things like lip balm, kleenex, cash and even sports nutrition in! I have tried a few other brands in the past & none worked as well as SPIbelt. So all in all: 2 Thumbs up! It's a keeper and we send our thanks to SPIbelt for their generosity! If you are a runner you are going to be thrilled to win this prize!!!
Challenge start date: Monday Sept.12th
Challenge end date: Monday Sept 26th
Cheers,
Wendy & Matt
