Hey all you Sweaty Betties and Gents!!
We just got back from a long vacation in Asia and we feel like we need to get moving!!
We hope you enjoyed the December Push-Up Challenge and this month will be a little more cardio based…
**ONE MILE a day for allof January**
If you are a beginner, you can walk.
Hopefully by the end of the month you’ll be able to jog (or jog faster)
This can be done on a track, sidewalk, or treadmill. (If you need to modify by using a bike, make it 2 miles)
this can be done in addition to your regular routine and shouldn’t take more than 15 mins a day.
Let us know your times and how you improve!
XOXO
Happy New Year 2012
how about an elliptical?
Can’t wait to start this challenge. Just what I needed!
yay! us too!
do 1.5 miles on the elliptical
How about 2 miles? I dream of hoPping on that treadmill, you know the one next to the hot guy! And having the stamina to someday keep up with his 5 miler pace. Without spitting, grunting, dropping my music, ya know looking like a RUTARD sweating and trying not to fling off the treadmill… Yeah, I think I need 2 miles a day…
2 miles is great! we just want to make it attainable, no stopping anyone for adding to it!! Do your thang girl!!
I plan on adding a mile to what I already run… Thanks girls!
Cannot wait!!!!!! Great idea!!!!
Love this idea! 1 mile isn’t too daunting AND I can make myself stay on a treadmill for a just mile when the weather outside is bad.
glad you think so! it doesn’t have to take long! thanks for the post!
i’m in!
day one done whoop whoop happy new year
great job Honorine! hope you are doing well!
Its my first day with the new challenge. Already ran the 1 mile on a track in the rain and crazy wind. Can’t wait for tomorrow! Thanks DIanne for the motivation!
wow look at you go! I hope all of January isn’t that bad!! kill it!
I’m in! Fantastic challenge to start the new year.
you two make me smile.
aw thanks! and thanks for stopping by!
I just found out about this today but I am all for it! I already ran my 2.5 for the day! One of my goals for 2012 was to be more consistent with my running … this should get me off to a great start!
wonderful! this WILL be a great start!
I love this idea. I am just finding this post today so I will make up my mile for yesterday also.
no worries! you can start right where you are, or make it up if you’re not too far behind!
Love it! Gave you a mention for the challenge in my latest blog post

LOVE this!! We want EVERYONE to be able to take part in the challenges and it makes us even happier when someone is new to it. We hope you do well, keep us in the loop on how you progress
I’m in too! Three miles every other day should cover it.

I just discovered your site. I am starting this challenge today. I love weights and strongly dislike cardio so this really is a challenge.
