lulu-nfr Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hi everyone, I've just started NF on the weekend, read through all the lessons, set my goals and did the bodyweight level 1 workout for the first time yesterday. I nearly died!! Feeling a bit sore today as well. But I've got a couple of rewards to look forward to. If I stick to my goals of 3 x 30 minutes strength training workouts per week and don't drink any alcohol during the week, after three weeks I will book into a thai or indian cooking class. If I stick to it for 6 weeks then I'm going on a 1 hour off-road segway bush bash! Should be fun If I miss one of my goals then my punishment is I have to do one load of my boyfriend's laundry and iron any shirts in that load. I loathe ironing and laundry so that is quite a turn off! Does anyone want to share their rewards or punishments? Also any fun fitness ideas would be welcome! I'm going to try stand-up paddle boarding. Also trying out interval training with a running club tonight and I've got a bike ride planned in two weeks with a new riding buddy. Cheers,Lulu.

mbab0711 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hi Lulu! I'm also new here and set up a reward system for myself. Every paycheck I put some money in a jar and if I hit my 6 week goal (currently it's working out a minimun of 3x a week for at least 30 minutes each time) I get the money back to do with as I please. Otherwise it sits there until I hit my next 6 week goal. As a single mom, money is a huge motivator. Good luck to you on your mission to a healthier lifestyle. :-) Andrea Quote Hold on kids.

Basement Cat Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Welcome to the rebellion, Lulu! Good job on getting started! The beginner bodyweight workout is a great start! Rewards and punishments are always good. I color the square on my calendar on the days I do my workout. No workout no color. The blank spot hurts! It's awesome that you want to try so many things! Hang on to that energy and have a blast! Good luck with your goals and keep us posted!

MelHay333 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 I love the idea of rewards/punishments! I have a reward for reaching a certain weight. But I should do some intermittent ones. Thanks for the idea! Quote MelHay333Melissa HaynesHuman Level 1 (working toward Druid/Ranger)Str 0 Dex 0 Sta 0 Con 0 Wis 0 Cha 0 Not all who wander are lost. - J.R.R. Tolkien Link to comment
