30 Day Fitness Challenge

Are you stuck in a rut?  

Would having a new workout plan, even if it's something simple to do from home help you out? 

Are you tight on time? 

Do you just want a new challenge? 

If you've answered yes to any of these, then I have the solution for you.  I have developed a 30 day fitness challenge that uses nothing but your own body-weight and household goods.  This way, if you don't have time for the gym, not to worry, your house will be the gym!

$10 get's you a month-long fitness program that will help to turn your body into a machine.  Your days of not knowing what to do are behind you as you'll have a different exercise each and every day, plus an additional challenge built in.  

Contact me today, martinlhiii83@gmail.com, for more information or to go ahead and give it a shot.  If you're local, I do accept cash, otherwise a PayPal link will be provided to you.  

I look forward to hearing from you!

Fitness Challenge Update!

For the last 2 weeks, I posted about using the time you have at home to do a "Fitness Challenge."  Hopefully some of you have had the opportunity to try it out.

What I am asking of each of you that have read it, can you post how you're doing it or if you're doing it?  Why or why not?

In the comments section below, let us know how your fitness challenges are going! 

Fitness Challenge 2

Last week, I referred to a fitness challenge to pursue while you watch TV.  This isn't an unrealistic expectation and you can gain some significant strength, at least without weights, while doing it.  So now, a new challenge has come to mind, this time focusing on flexibility.  I even have a hard time focusing on stretching, especially since it's not the most exciting thing in the world.

So, here it goes:

If you watch a 30-minute show, perform 5 minutes worth of stretching your upper body while you do it.  Focus on the front of your shoulders and the rear (place your arm behind your back, stand up tall; place your arm in front of your body and pull into your body).  Get your ears to touch your neck on both sides.  Do all of this 2x.

If you watch an hour show, start off on the floor...keeping your legs straight try to touch your head to your knees.  Then pull the soles of your feet in together and "force" your knees down to the floor.  Next, lay on your back and pull your knees back and try to get them towards the floor.  Do this for about 10-15 minutes.

It's simple, especially if you're watching something.  If you watch a sporting event such as a basketball game or a football game (it's March right now as of this initial writing, so football is likely out), do this for 10-15 minutes per half.

In the end, your body will thank you....and me for writing this post advising it.  Don't
' stop training and making yourself better. 

Fitness Challenge 1

Something I'd like for my readers to try is a fitness challenge.  It's pretty simple actually, all it requires of you is to do it.  Depending on your level and experience with fitness, I'll have a couple of different challenges for you.

If you watch TV regularly, which is what this challenge is based upon, then each type of commercial will have a different exercise.  Depending on the type of show, you'll have a stretch associated with it to perform for at least 2 minutes.

Pharmaceutical Commercial = Bodyweight Squats or Chair Sit-to-stands
Car Commercial = Wall Push-up/Knee Pushup/Traditional Push-up
Fast Food Commercial = Plank or Situp
Any other commercial = Jumping Jacks or Marching in place


For the TV shows themselves:

Upper Back/Shoulder Stretch

Comedy = Shoulder Stretches
Drama = Anterior (Front) Hip Stretch
Action = Posterior (Back) Hip Stretch
Any Other = Neck Stretch

Push-Up (Traditional); Left side of picture is also a plank

Sit to Stand

Jumping Jacks
