Candice

@Laney: I do. :-) i focus mostly on doing body strength training with moves like squats, lunges, push-ups, bicep curls, and sit-ups on a ball. Mostly stuff that I can do with free weights or just my own body weight.

Good Luck! :-)

Hi, I'm Candice. I'm basically a hobbit like character. I'm short (5'2) and enjoy the fine things in life like eating good food, relaxing, sleeping, and now exercising! I started exercising on and off for the past year and finally got really serious about it this summer and lost over 10 lbs so far! I'm still trying to find what works for me as a regular workout. I've lately been going to the gym and working on machines. But I want to do workouts that are going to make me more prepared for everyday things and outdoor activities. A friend of mine suggested NerdFitness to me as a site to check out and I've been hooked. I decided to join the 6 week challenge as a way to keep myself on track. For right now, I want to focus on losing fat and getting stronger while learning to eat right while I live with my boyfriend in our first apartment. My present weight is 119 lbs. My waist measures 28 and 1/2 inches and my hips are 36 inches. My goal is to become a combination of Druid and Ranger, eventually. My goals for this challenge are: Fitness: 1. lose 4 more pounds and maintain 115lb weight 2. work out 3-6 times per week 3. Continue to eat healthy meals Life: 1. get settled into my new apartment (moving at the end of the week!) and continue fitness training We'll see how this goes. Glad to be part of the Rebellion!

Hi, I'm Candice. I'm basically a hobbit like character. I'm short (5'2) and enjoy the fine things in life like eating good food, relaxing, and sleeping. For right now, I want to focus on losing fat and getting stronger while learning to eat right while I live with my boyfriend in our first apartment. My starting weight is 119 lbs. My waist measures 28 and 1/2 inches and my hips are 36 inches. My goal is to become a combination of Druid and Ranger, eventually. My goals for this challenge are: Fitness: 1. lose 4 more pounds and maintain 115lb weight 2. work out 3-6 times per week 3. Continue to eat healthy meals Life: 1. get settled into my new apartment (moving at the end of the week!) and continue fitness training General Plan for goal 1: Mondays: Core work Tuesdays: cardio- interval sprints Wednesday: upper body workout (including weight lifting) Thursday: cardio Friday: lower body workout (including weight lifting) Saturday: complex cardio such as yoga Sunday: Rest This is my best course of action plan. This week, since I'm moving Saturday, I started this workout plan on Sunday. General Plan for Goal 2: No excuses! If the gym is closed or there is bad weather, I have a yoga mat and the power of the internet! And a pull up bar for the door. Absolute minimum of 3 workouts a week. General Plan for Goal 3: Saturday night will be our first grocery shopping day. The plan is to find where meat is the cheapest and buy whatever fruits, veggies, and Greek yogurts are on sale. General Plan for Goal 4: Move in on Saturday and carve out time for workouts at the beginning of each week (or whenever I have a clearer idea of my schedule).
