A Test on Commitment - Rai

[Rai]

OK so seeing as how most of my life up to this point has involved unfulfilled goals I thought the name of this topic was pretty on par lol. To begin:

Hey everyone! This is my first time doing any real fitness challenge for any true length. I'm 21, currently I weigh 172 lbs and I want to get that down to around 160 or below. My current long term goal for the year is to either lose 20 pounds and tone or to accept some general pounds of muscle added. I'm personally OK with either I just hope I can stay leaner and more speed oriented instead of bulking. I've posted everything else about myself on my profile so head on over if you're that interested lol. This post is still a work in progress as I build my workout schedule for the next 6 weeks and will definitely be added to and made more focused the close to the start of the challenge we get. Here's to succeeding in your goals!

 

My Main Quest: I want to tone my core and increase my flexibility.

 

Goals to Achieve Main Quest: 

1. Practice Yoga everyday.

- Currently planning on buying a thick yoga mat for my hardwood floors when I get paid Wednesday.

- Trying to find captioned videos/articles detailing exactly how to get into Yoga poses.

- Buying a 28 day Yoga exercise book.

 

2. Run every other day.

- Currently my time for a mile seems to be 7:14 however I want to increase that to around 6 minutes flat by the end of the challenge.

- I want to try running for longer distances, hoping for a 5k length run by the end of the 6 weeks. Which means on two of my running days every week I plan on running a little longer than the usual mile.

 

3. Cut my sugar intake down to one mountain dew a day(If you knew my addiction you'd know that's pretty drastic).

- Mountain Dew is a guilty pleasure of mine. I drink it almost as much as I drink water so yeah, this will probably be my defining goal on whether this challenge really works or not.

- I'm also a sweets fan, not like bags and bags a day but enough that I want to cut down on it.

 

Motivation: I have no intention of living my life sitting on a couch growing unhealthy and fat.

 

I will try to update this every other day once the challenge starts.

So I finally just bit the bullet. so to speak, and bought the P90X3 DVD set, it's supposed to come in Wednesday so MY challenge will officially start then. I can't even really run right now anyway since I tagged my leg on the exhaust pipe of a friends motorcycle and got a 2nd degree burn from that so I'm waiting for it to heal. Sucks but I'm really excited for this DVD set to come in. Has anyone else done P90X3?
