In preparation for my upcoming challenge, this morning I tried a routine that could fit into my 3rd mission. Numbers were as follows: 10 crunches 10 leg lifts 30 second plank *15 second cool down stretch* 10 push ups 10 leg lifts 10 bicycle crunches When I actually do the routine, I want to repeat 3 times. This morning was just a trial to test my ability with these numbers. (I'm fairly weak in most aspects of my body) I will increase the repetition numbers as the challenge goes on by an interval of 5 per week. (exception is plank: will be increased by 10 seconds) I want to add a leg aspect to my routine, but I'm not sure how my legs will handle it in addition to my cardio...I don't want to burn myself out. Any thoughts or comments will be appreciated!

Strength? Health? Self worth? Peace of mind? Obvious newbie. I want to use my first challenge to break my very lethargic and sedentary lifestyle. Really putting the "6 weeks to form a habit" to the test. Main Quest: Develop a daily routine that STICKS. (combination of work outs and general health) (Pass: complete >90% of workouts as defined by my first mission) Mission 1 - Complete the first 6 weeks of a standard couch to 5k program. (Here's to hoping 6 weeks makes it a habit and I can complete the final 3 weeks on my own). Begin and end each run with stretching. Mission 2 - Track foods consumed. Not just for weight watching, but to make sure my body is getting enough calories and nutrients. Focus is on protein and iron...(I'm borderline vegetarian) Mission 3 - Complete a routine 4 times a week that includes crunches, lunges, planks, push-ups, and leg lifts. More detailed numbers will follow and increase as the weeks go on. Life Quest: Smile more. Cross arms less. People don't need to be scared of you to respect you.
