I’m day 16 at the moment and feeling good so I thought I’d try a fitness challenge!
Just started this 7 days of sweat challenge with Joe Wicks, it’s only 20 mins a day so manageable around other commitments and I thought I’d share it. I really like that Joe is promoting the good endorphins from exercise, and saying how good it makes us feel doing a little each day:
Love the feeling after a hard workout!
Thank you for posting! I’m on day 5 and am enjoying my cardio and weight lifting routine even more now that I’ve been clean and sober. I find it sure helps beat the cravings and makes me feel positive 
The last few years have been doing a January plank challenge…working up to 5 minutes (not 8 hours like the world record lol). I get a bunch of FB friends to join in with us, it is kind of fun and just takes a few minutes a day.
Pinterest has some great challenges as well. I have a kettlebell swing one, followed by a squat one up next.
Enjoy your challenge!! Here is the plank one if anyone is interested…
Oo that sounds great, thanks for sharing! I love these sorts of challenges where you build up a little bit each day and feel yourself getting better throughout the month - such an achievement!
Me too! The plank one is very rewarding and very easy to start. 5 minute plank is tough for me, so it is a fun one to work up to…I read my kindle while planking once it gets up past 3 minutes. Lol
You can look for more intense ones if you are more hard core or modify…do one arm or some such.
Same I love how strong I feel, and how tight everything feels. And then a hour I’m back to normal I hate that part lol
I love when the doms set in, couldn’t hardly walk yesterday from hitting squats the day b4. Hurts so good
I finally just started working out again. It used to be my life years ago. I missed the feeling but its gonna take a while to get back anywhere near what I used to be. Frustrating but I’m gonna stick to it even tho I could barely lift my arms after my training session.
I missed 4 days working out and i felt so lousy physically and mentally. I knew I was going to get back to it and I did yesterday. After a nice dog walk. 20 minutes on the dreadmill. 15 minutes easy weights. I am trying really hard not to hurt myself. I’m 60 so I got to take it easy on the weights. It hard cuz I don’t feel sixty. The my new found love Pilates on the reformer by for 50 minutes. Then I finish up planking. I’m pretty happy with a couple of planks for 30 seconds. Maybe start working on 45. Go @SassyRocks with the 5 minute plank reading you kindle. I love 
it!!
I hear you, my body is different at 60 (I am 59 but preparing myself!) than it was even 5 years ago and if I miss workouts, I certainly pay for it if I push too far too fast. And I am much more cognizant of not pushing too far because getting injured sucks and can set older athletes way back …or at least can set me way back. I do love weights tho!
And FWIW, the plank challenge works you up gradually. I find it very rewarding.
