Congratulations to all of you for completing week 3 of A NEW YOU! Hopefully your diet regime has become a bit easier and you are incorporating exercise into your daily schedule. Yes, this last week was a bit tough to stay committed to daily outdoor exercise, unless of course, you imitated Frank Sinatra and "sang in the rain" again and again and again. But of course, there was indoor exercise: hand weights, bands, treadmill, bosu ball, push ups, and sit-ups. Granted we needed the rain in California, filling lakes and greening the hills, but hitting a tennis ball bogged down with water becomes quite difficult as well as deadly when it leaves a mark.
As we begin week 4, the challenge for you is to kick up your exercise regime. Instead of walking two miles, how about 3? Instead of riding a stationary bike for 30 minutes, try 45 minutes. Lifting weights? Add a few more pounds to them or add a new lifting move. Ever try a bosu ball? Stand on that and complete your arm exercise or squats. Tennis anyone? Join with others for doubles or instead of keeping score and playing a game, try CARDIO TENNIS. Yes there is such a thing. Look it up! Working out by yourself? Invite a friend to join you. You and they wll be glad you did!
Don't forget to send CK your weight loss total for last week as well as your exercise points so a post can be made with the total from everyone. Keep up with your spiritual life as well. Take a few minutes in prayer, scripture reading, or silence. The spiritual exercises are just as important as the physical so don't neglect it.
Good luck with week 4. Keep up the good work! You are ALL doing great!
CK
