Official Day 1 of Nerd Fitness 6 Week Challenge

Day 1: This adventurer has begun her quest to find greatness. She is prepared for the long road (by long--six weeks to start, then beyond) ahead. There will be inclining planes, rocky roads (not the ice cream), and grueling tests of strength (physically and mentally).

===============================================================================



So here's the skinny on today's adventure:



1. cardio (STA:+1)
◾March in place (25 reps)
◾Jog in place with knees high (25 reps)
◾Jumping Jacks (25 reps)
◾Body Weight Squats (5 reps)
◾Hip Rotation on each leg (5 reps)
◾Forward leg swings (5 reps)
◾Arm circles forward (10 reps)
◾Arm circles backward (10 reps)

2. strength/ personal circuit (STR: +1)
◾Squats (3 sets, 5 reps/no weights)
◾Hip Raises (3 sets, 5 reps)
◾Overhead Tricep Extension (3 sets, 5 reps/5lb weight)
◾Rows with Resistance Band (3 sets, 5 reps/beginner band)
◾Plank (3 sets, 5 reps/ 10 sec holds)

3. diet (CON: +1)
◾refrained from sweets, though the chocolate dipped macaroons at work were tempting...I resisted...w00t!

4. life (WIS: +1)
◾I left work on time and as tempted as I was to review some of the notes I brought with me when I got home...I relaxed. I spent time with the husband, then jumped into the fitness adventure.

All in all---a good first day. 4/4 points possible. Yay!



Stay tuned, for tomorrow's continued journey. For now...I'll find an inn and rest ...no double xp though.
