30K challenge month
Had a good biceps workout.. added 10 pounds to most exercises trying to hit it a bit harder. Felt really good after. Knocked out a good ab burn and some hyperextensions. Did cardio for 25 on the treadclimber and then about 22 on the treadmill.
Now for the real fun.. this month there is a Virgin Lifecare Challenge I am a part of.. basically it is this:
You are part of a team that tries to get the most steps over the period of the 30 days. However, they cap each person of the team at 30000 steps per day. So, if you somehow get 40000.. you only get credit for 30000. This past April, I managed to get like 46000 one day by doing all my stuff and then soccer.
Anyhow.. will be trying for 30000 each day ending on Halloween. This is going to be a break in my routine since I normally just try to get my 12000 steps, cardio, and a weight lifting session each day (6 days a week, 1 rest day on Monday). The point system on Virgin Lifecare gives you 80 points for 12000 steps, 10 for cardio, and 10 for "strength training". And the max for the day is 100. So, being that I don’t like carry around the pedometer all day I just take it off after I reach at least 12000 provided I have done my cardio and weights for the day.. otherwise I shoot for 20000 (which gives the max of 100 pts). It’s actually been pretty cool since you earn money over time for working out and you get cash back off your bodybuilding.com orders.
Hope everyone has a great October.. reach their goals and getting in better shape. Hit it hard!
