Day 23: Spice it up

Yellow :P

Its always a good idea to add something exciting to your workout or change it up a bit in order to keep motivated. Or find something you enjoy doing like running or cycling, then find a race or event in the next few months and start working towards that. Knowing that you have some kind of goal or deadline is very motivating. The consequences of not working out become more intense (like being unfit for a marathon).

It doesnt have to be something big at all either though it can be small things too like being able to do a plank for longer than 2 minutes, try the plank challenge.
Already a regular planker

For me I would like to become more flexible and be able to do the splits again. So from today I am going to start this below. Not sure I will be able to do it in 2 weeks though (I'm very inflexible) but I'll give it a try and let you know how it goes :P


Join an aerobics or a spinning class for a change. Or kick it into high gear by joining crossfit or some kind of martial arts class! Sometimes you end up looking like a spazz in those coordinated step class but hey as long as you're moving, you're doing something!! If it really wasn't for you then don't do it. there are so many ways to go about losing weight, you don't have to do something you don't enjoy... so no excuses!!
Fun 60 min workouts:
  1. Ultimate Frisbee (572 calories)
  2. Hula Hooping (420–600 calories)
  3. Salsa Dancing (393 calories)
  4. Rowing (250–600 calories)
  5. Hiking with a Backpack (500 calories)
  6. Cross-Country Skiing (500–643 calories)
  7. Sign up for an obstacle-course race

Happy Friday xx
