I started to do a 30-day squat challenge the beginning of April, but failed miserably and only ended up doing squats a few times this month. EPIC. FAIL. I'm moving forward and going into May with a dedication to complete a Walking Lunge & Push Up Challenge! Will you join me??

Walking lunges are a great way to get your legs and bum in shape, they also work your core. Want an added challenge? Hold weights in each hand! I also love adding a glute extension to my walking lunges. The video below shows you how to do a proper walking lunge & a glute extension.
Push Ups are a great way to tone your arms, chest, and upper back. No sissy push ups for me this month, I will be doing the real deal. If you want to challenge yourself more, feel free to do a more advanced type of push up. Check out the video below for the proper form for a push up.
Will you be joining me? If so, let me know so we can encourage each other throughout the month. Just let me know by leaving me a comment on this post, on Facebook, or Twitter. Every Friday I will do weekly updates on how I am doing with the challenge.
Not sure the proper form for a walking lunge or push up? Here are a couple videos to show you the correct way to do each of these exercises.
I will also be doing Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred in May. Have you ever tried this workout? For a 25-30 minute workout it is tough!
I hope to have you join me for this challenge. If you are not joining me, what are you doing this month for your health & fitness?

Great idea for a challenge! I've read so many great things about JM Shred. Maybe I need to try it!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the challenge idea. So far I'm doing ok on it, although the push ups are difficult. I do love the JM shred, even though it is an older workout it is great basic moves that do the job!
DeleteLove a good challenge...I'm in!
ReplyDeleteOh good, excited you are joining me with the challenge. How are you doing so far?
DeleteGreat challenge, I hate push ups but my trainer loves them! I think I'll join you :)
ReplyDeleteI hate push ups to and have struggled so far even doing them the "regular" way so I have been doing 1 or 2 regular pushups and then doing as many pushups on my knees as I can do. Hopefully I will be much stronger with my push ups by the end of the month doing it this way. How are you doing on the challenge?
DeleteI'm in!!!
