We
all have at least one area that we would like to improve the most. Mine are my
thighs. It seems when I have a set-back, like I currently had, that any weight
gain I have all goes to my thighs. And nothing can remind you of your problem
areas quicker than a mirror! I recently started taking a tap dancing class and
last night was my second night. I’m having a lot of fun, and I do enjoy it, but
like any dance studio there’s at least one wall that’s all mirror. And so as I’m
going through the steps we are learning, and I’m observing myself in the
mirror, I was quickly reminded that I still have some work to do to get back on
track. Luckily even when I lose that weight
I gained, it does come off the thighs as well; however, I still would like to
improve that area overall. So, I found this 30 day thigh challenge that I’m
going to start tomorrow and wanted to encourage you to join me in on this
challenge. As you can tell, it starts off with low number of reps and gradually
increases throughout the 30 days. Also note the tips. The number for lateral
lunges and fire hydrants is per side. Modify the exercises to suit your fitness
needs, and increase reps for more of a challenge if needed. Me personally, I’m
not only going to increase reps, but I’m going to do three rounds each day of
the indicated exercises having a 60 second rest between rounds.
So
for example, day 1 shows….
5 lateral lunges
10 scissors
5 fire hydrants
5 plie squat pulses
But,
I will do……
10 lateral lunges w/ weights
20 scissors
10 fire hydrants
10 plie squat pulses w/ weights
I will complete this 3 times and
between each round I’ll take a 60 second break
By
doing this, doubling the numbers, it’s going to make day 30 really challenging
by doing 240 lateral lunges, 300 scissors, 150 fire hydrants, 300 plie squat
pulses and doing this for three rounds!!!! J

So.....who's
in?????
