100 Day Challenge?
-
I would like to do this as well, also going for strength rather than weight loss.
I’m hoping to accomplish….
Extended Butterfly
Spinning Inverted V
Pencil
Scissor Climb
15 real push-ups without a break
50 crunches without a breakI’m not sure if I’m going for too much or too little with my goals… but I guess if I master all of them then I’ll add more, and if I don’t master them then I’ll work harder next time https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
I’ll probably try to round up a few pics and some current stats on my capabilities and post here =)As for exercising.. I’ve got the P90X from my boyfriend’s attempt at it (that didn’t last very long) but I’m not sure I’m ready for it >_< I don’t have an awful lot of endurance. I may try to get in some morning workouts (if I can get my lazy bum out of bed) but any advice on DVDs or specific exercises is appreciated. Any motivation help/advice is also MOST welcome!!

I wanted to use something to help me keep track of my goals better. I found something that’s FREE, simple, can be accessed anywhere (internet or phone), and I can show my weekly progress on this thread using a link. It also has FB functions if desired. You can make EACH goal private or public. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif
Just thought I’d let you guys know. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Count me in as well!
I have been off the pole for about 3 years – I tried a come back last year but it did not last because I had a tear on my hamstring that even stopped me from walking for a little while. But now, the pole is up again and I have 100 days to get back on it and I am aiming at:
1. drop 3Kg – I am 171cm tall and weight about 59Kg
2. do the splits again (had totally lost them with the injured hammies)
3. gain muscle tone
4. achieve some sort of split grip inverted hold (extended butterfly, split grip aysha, straight edge)
5. take part on the tango show I am starting to rehearse for tomorrow
6. manage colgadas with ease (tango related)
7. take care of my injured footin order to do so, I will:
1. try to eat smaller portions and healthy food
2. drink 2L water/day
3. pole 3 times a week when not traveling for work
4. stretch every time I pole
5. take part on tango rehearsals
6. try to take tango classes on Mondays as well
7. do foot exercises at least 5 days a weekI’m very excited! Thank you pole-twista for starting this. Thanks Velvetvixen for the happy goal site!

I also chose coffee over a mocha ( less sugar and cals). i plan on 10 more push-ups playing wii fit 30mins. how’s everyone doing? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I usually do my weekly weigh in and measure on Thursday mornings. Today I was actually up 2.2lbs from last week, but I lost 2 inches from my waist, 1 inch from my hips, .5 from my thigh and .5 from my arm. That brings my total loss in 5 weeks to 16lbs and 24.25 inches!
I am very sore today, so I just did an hour of cardio at the gym, some quick abs and torso and lots of stretching.

Okay so I started by printing out a fit test from p90x to get some starting stats https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
Resting heart rate : 68
10 minute warm-up (I used veena’s warm-up that got me to a small sweat)
Pole pull-ups : 1 (to failure)
Vertical leap : 10 inches
Push-ups : 30 (from knees- to failure)
Toe touch (distance beyond toes) : 0
Wall squat : 45 seconds (to failure)
Biceps – weight curls : 30 at 10 lb.
In-&-outs (legs curl to chest then extend out) : 37 (to failure)
Heart rate maximizer (taken after 1.5 minutes of jumping jacks and 30 seconds of extreme jumping jacks) : 158Finally I did one hour of pole with two friends https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
Today was my day off work so I worked it hard.I decided that I’d like to work out at least 4 times a week, with at least two times being one-hour workouts and stretching for 30 minutes at least once a week. I will try for more than that but this is what I consider more obtainable.

I’m up for this, but I will have to think of what my goals are. I have moves I’m working on in a shorter time frame, so I’ll have to hunt down some more (and define some specific stretching goals) to be more difficult. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

So I am thinking I am ready to add the next step to changing my eating. Starting on Monday I am going to start tracking what I am eating. I am going to write down everything I put in my mouth – but I am not yet at calorie counting. I have done really really well with cooking my food and not eating out. I didn’t even buy any food at the Jimmy Buffett concert last night or nibble on chips or fries when I was bartending the other night.
It is so awesome to feel successful!! It makes me want to add new goals https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

yes keeping a food journal helped me alot when i was losing alot of weight back in the day. you have to be consistent and should include every bite and sip (calorie drinks) and review at the end of the week to see what you could improve and get an idea of your eating patterns. it’s not easy, but most things worth having ain’t easy! WE CAN DO THIS!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/bom.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/bom.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/bom.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/bom.gif

Do you think I am crazy to do it without counting calories and fat? I just don’t think I am ready to do that extra step and I want to be successful. I feel like taking each step two weeks at a time is allowing me to really create good habits slowly but positively.
