#1800MinuteChallenge

So obvs y'all are familiar with Erin (if you're not, go get acquainted) which means you read this post today.  She and a few other bloggers have come up with the #1800minutechallenge and I couldn't be more excited! I joined immediately after reading her post.

The idea of the #1800minutechallenge is that you commit to being active for 1,800 minutes between April 1 and May 31. Easy peasy right?! C'mon yall, that averages out to about 30 minutes a day.  Anyone can do that!  The easiest way? Walk 15 minutes away from your house, turn around, and walk back-BAM 30 minutes for the day is done. You can read more about the challenge (and the awesome prize) here.

Here are a few workout ideas to get you, and me, motivated:
Treadmill Walking Workout

Sometimes you don't feel like running, biking, or getting on that eliptical.  That's ok!  Check out this great Treadmill Walking Workout and get moving!

Spin Class or RPM

I started taking an RPM class SWAT in Kalamazoo and I LOVE it!  It's an intense workout for sure but you definitely feel accomplished when you cross that imaginary finish line. If your local gym offers a spin or RPM class I urge you to get your cute little butt in there today!

Zumba

According to this site, Zumba can burn anywhere from 350-650 calories and hour!  I spent a whole summer taking Zumba about 6 years ago. Yes, I felt a little silly. Yes, the moves made me feel a little like a stripper. Yes, I had a great butt when it was all over.  Seriously, the music is fun and if you grab a few girlfriends then it's one big dance party!

Barre class

Like I said yesterday, my favorite workout at the moment is barre class.  Maybe it's because I've been a dancer my entire life and the barre feels like home, maybe it's because I like the instant gratification of the burn, or maybe it's because I feel like this workout actually works, but I look forward to every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday when I get to go to class.
