Celebrate with Me!

If you've been around for the past month or so, you might recall some casual mentions of a birthday challenge. The time is finally here to share all the details!

My 40th birthday is August 10th, and I really hope you'll celebrate with me. What better way to celebrate than with a good old fitness challenge.

Here's the low down...

Each day for 30 days, do 40 reps {each side} of that day's exercise.
Power Kicks ✽ Arnold Press ✽ Bicycles ✽ Calf Raises ✽ Squat to Press ✽ Deadlifts ✽ Russian Twists ✽ Upright Row ✽ 4 min Plank ✽ Deep Squats ✽ Pushups ✽ Split Squats ✽ Side Plank Hip Dips ✽ Bridge Fly ✽ V-Sit Crunches ✽ Sumo Squats ✽ Single Leg Deadlifts ✽ Burpees ✽ Curtsy Lunges ✽ Starfish Crunches ✽ Cross Body Hammer Curls ✽ Curl to Press ✽ Standing Side Crunches ✽ Side Lunges ✽ Squat Jacks ✽ Mountain Climbers ✽ Squat & Leg Abduction ✽ Row & Press ✽ Overhead Triceps Extension ✽ 4.0 mile, or 40 min, run

Only do the plank and run ONCE. {obviously}


But Wait! The fun doesn't stop there.
There are also 10 bonus activities. These can be done anytime throughout the 30 days; some might take the full month to complete.

✽ Log 40 Total Miles
✽ Try something new
✽ Read a book
✽ Post a pic of your favorite smoothie
✽ Do 40 sun salutations
✽ Run, Walk, or Bike a route in the shape of 40
✽ Run with a group
✽ Share a motivational quote or pic
✽ Enjoy a pool or beach day
✽ Wish me a happy birthday with a pic from your favorite place to run (or bike)

When I showed Jeff this calendar...

Jeff: No one will be able to finish this.
Me: I can and I will. The hardest one for me will be to read a book.
Jeff: It's just a lot.
Me: Yeah, but the daily exercises won't take more than 5-15 minutes (hello, burpees), so they can easily be added to someone's daily workout or spread throughout the day into manageable chunks. And many of the bonus activities will be accomplished along the way. I think it's totally do-able. Besides, it's supposed to be a challenge.

 What do you think? Too much of a challenge? Or a perfect way to celebrate my 40th birthday?

Let's show him that WE CAN and WE WILL do ALL.THE.THINGS.
