This week is the last week of September and that got me thinking. September has been a slow month for me training wise. I wasn’t getting all my sessions in and strengthening workouts hasn’t been a thing for me. Now I could wait a week and restart everything with a bang in October or I can start now. What better time than the present?
Although I want to challenge myself and get active this week I also don’t have a lot of time on my hands. I’m knee deep into studying and improving my Dutch as a big immigration test is coming up and I need to be 100% ready and comfortable with the language. One of the lovely girls I follow on Instagram posted about a 2min fitness challenge to test your level of fitness in certain exercises and I thought it was a wonderful idea! Thus I incorporated it into this challenge week.
This is how it’s going to work. For seven days I spend five minutes on 3 exercises that I spread out into four groups; legs, arms, abs and full body. Basically let’s say its leg day and I have 2 minute squats. I put on a timer for 2 minutes and squat as many times as I possibly can while keeping a good form. That’s about it. It will only take 5 minutes (Well technically 5 minutes and thirty seconds! There will be a 10 second rest between sets but finer details. 5 minutes sounds better…) out of my day and the burn will be for real.
I’m super excited for this challenge and I can’t wait to get started! Feel free to join in on the fun and challenge and remember to use the hash tag #fitcouchpotatochallenge to connect! Don’t forget to stretch with warm up, rest between sets and to cool down! No one wants an injury on their hands!
