I have to admit, over the past few weeks, the weekends have become a time for me to either completely zone out, or, catch-up on all the things I did not get done during the week. This catch-up/relax combo has made for an incredibly solid excuse for not working out those two days, and my body has started to show it. No longer.

Not that I am encouraging massive workouts everyday, but some form of daily physical activity is vital for a healthy lifestyle. For this reason, I started this weekend challenge. Maybe you are already doing this on a daily basis and there will be no problem in keeping it up over the weekend, or maybe this will be a challenge. Either way, this weekend challenge is a great stepping off point for healthier weekends, higher energy levels, and better fitness.

This weekend, my fitness challenge is two-part. This first is to workout either Saturday or Sunday for 30-minutes or more. This 30-minutes can go towards anything from 30-minutes of lunges (good glory) to a 30-minute jog, or a nice 30-minute yoga flow. A 30-minute workout will get our heart rates up, will go a long way towards higher energy next week, increase the likelihood of exercising during the week, and help with better all-around fitness.

The second part of this challenge is walking. Yes, walking. Walking between 10,000-12,000 steps per day will increase stamina, lubricate joints, and help maintain a healthy lifestyle. Unfortunately, most people do not take this many steps in their average daily life. This simple challenge will kick-start our healthy weekend challenges and our week ahead. Ready to take our little weekend challenge? I cannot wait to hear your results!
