Freeman’s Fitness Challenge

Facebook is such an interesting community.  You can connect with old and new friends, connect with business contacts, connect with friends of friends and friends of friends friends. It is quite the social network. It can also just get you in trouble, which is just what happened in my case. I discovered a fitness challengeon facebook and because I’m always up for a challenge, I said I’d do it. Everything looks easier on paper, right! All jokes aside, I loved it! Here are some reasons why:

1. I love Group Fitness and Personal Training because it pushes me to do things I normally would have a harder time doing on my own. David’s fitness challenge was great because it enabled me to push myself further than I thought I could go and definitely further than I would have without his direction.

2. He provided options. Like I said earlier, I am always up to a challenge but I am also quite aware of my limitations. I never felt like a failure because I could keep pushing and take the options when needed yet still monitor my time.

3. It gave me a little insight into where I am in my fitness. I finished it but I did take options (ie I modified the pushups). I also didn’t have a treadmill so I ran up and down 17 flights of stairs 10 times. I look forward to doing it again to see if I can get stronger and faster.

4. I worked really hard and had accountability. Because I posted that I was going to do it I had to do it. So I pushed and did it. If you do it make sure to post that you too are taking up the challenge.

So have I whet your appetite for a little challenge? If so, head on over the David Freeman’s blog and take up the challenge!
