3 Month Workout Challenge

Bathing suit season is rushing in faster than we can imagine. Only three to four months before our bodies have to be in fit condition to be seen in a bikini on the beaches or laying out by the pool sipping daiquiris. Seventeen magazine has given me the motivation to jump into gear and get moving. The "Team Seventeen" plan is a 12 week guide to a fitter, more active you. Starting February, each month there is a new workout plan to follow for that month to trim, tone, and whip you into shape. They also have a page where you can track your workouts: http://www.seventeen.com/health/tips/team-seventeen-fitness

The plan calls for you to do the workout four times a week, with a 15 minute cardio warm-up (such as running, jump roping, dancing, etc). I started today so I will be doing my full workouts Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays I will only follow the seventeen workouts.

For example, today I warmed up on the elliptical for 15 minutes, ran threw the seventeen workouts, did 20 reps of crunches (middle, right, left, then middle again) and repeated, then did a sequence of arm workouts. Tomorrow (Tuesday), I will only run threw the seventeen workouts, then Wednesday I will do my full workout again.

I am really looking forward to the results and the energy that this plan will bring. I can't wait to go check out this seasons selections of swim suits!!! :)
