I wanted to kickstart my exercising in May -- or, even if it doesn't last, at least get more active for that month! To make it seem more fun, I came up with the 5-5-5 challenge.
The rules are simple: Do 5 types of exercises 5 times each in May (the 5th month of the year; get it?).
Or, if you already exercise enough and have other healthy habits you want to try out (meatless meals, meditation, whatever), you could make your 5 different activities anything you want.
My 5 things I'm going to try to do at least 5 times are:
1. Walk to or from work (30 min. walk)
2. Exercise to a Gilad program (got a bunch saved on my DVR)
3. Do free-weight training (both upper and lower body)
4. Ride my bike (any distance or duration of time counts)
5. Walk up the stairs to my condo (which is on the 18th floor)
If you want to join me, list your 5 activities on your blog, and we'll start May 1!
The 5-5-5 fitness challenge: Are you in?

I am in. Though I don't know yet what I'll be doing specifically. I'm starting with a small daily goal today of riding my bike through the subdivision (I think if I ride it correctly its 1.5 miles) and I am going to mow the lawn. This is considered movement as I've been sedentary for awhile now!
