January Mile-a-Day Challenge

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**

One-mile-a-day EVERYDAY in 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

We are so excited for 2012 and have lots of challenges, videos, nutrition info and recipes for you this year… and most of all… fun!!

  3. Raine says:

    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…

    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.
