Fun Challenges!

It is no secret that I love a good daily challenge or even month long ones. Currently I am doing a few and sometimes it is hard to keep them all straight. Here is the ones I can remember and why I am excited about them off the top of my head. #NoMoreGirlyPushups - I am so excited about this one!! About 6 months ago I decided I wanted to give my arms a good workout and what better way than with the 100 push-ups challenge. I was doing great then the Frosty Fitness Challenge happened and after doing about 550 "normal" push-ups in a week I didn't want to do any pushups for a good long time. Unfortunately I waited too long to get back on the push-up wagon and I need another challenge to help motivate me. It worked out perfect that I discovered the No More Girly Push-up challenge!

I plank, a lot!! Like every day!! Like everyday for the last 37 days straight! I do at least one #PlankADay every day. When I discovered Erika's Killer Core Plank Challenge for the month of February I couldn't see why I shouldn't do the challenge! The challenge is simply, plank at least five times a week and report back your times. It's about accountability and fun! Click here for more info!

I am also doing an ab challenge. Abs By April (the month, not a person). I love it! It is put on by Run Like A Grl and she emails that weeks exercises with fun pictures on how to properly do the exercises. She even had a great post on abs being made in the kitchen. I love it, so far I know that the exercises are getting easier to perform so my abs must be getting stronger.  I will be sure to keep you updated on my progress! Click here for more info!


Also my own personal favorite is my half marathon training schedule! I love love love this challenge and it is a challenge! Finding the time between working, being with my kids and trying to find time when my husband can watch our kids is no easy task! Today after work, while my husband was watching the kids and making dinner (he is awesome) I was able to meet up with two friends and do a 7 mile run. We did awesome and I am so proud of us as this is the longest distance that any of us have ever run. I am so excited to become a half marathoner in April and even more excited that I get to train with some great friends!

Do you have any challenges that you are doing? What's your favorite?
