Work-out Challenge

After a yoga class at the Soho House

My biggest challenge is to get my self to regularly workout. Even though I am not trying to lose weight, for general health reasons its so important to be active! and I feel good after I workout. Also, exercising (such as resistance exercise and strength training) increases lean body mass which is metabolically active as opposed to fat which is metabolically inactive (Basically more lean body mass increases amount of calories your body burns.)
So this week I am making a goal to workout every day. I am going to start out very small because I want to succeed so I am going to do a ten minute daily workout that I can do at home and do a yoga class one day this week.
Join me in this challenge! I am going to allow my self to take 1-2 days off, if i need.
I am going to post every day the workout for you to do at home, the same one I am doing. Also, download the check off chart I made and put a check for every day you did some sort of exercise - this will help keep you on track!  I can't wait to finally use all that Nike dry fit attire I bought and never used.
