Our 6 week challenge is complete and the success was felt by all! 

I'm leaving the plan posted here so if you feel so inclined you can start anytime and challenge and help yourself be fitter and happier for today and until the day you die! Start at any age, any level - just start!

(If you are not active now start with 30 minutes a day, 4 days a week and start working your way up!)

6 week challenge:  60 minutes of exercise, 6 days a week!

Program Guidelines: You must do 4-6 moderate to hard 60 minutes sessions/week (240 - 360 minutes) and 1 -2 Moderate to light 60 minute sessions/week. (60 - 120 minutes)

Moderate to hard could be: Any cardio at a pace where you can only just keep a conversation going, splitting/stacking fire wood, heavy gardening/grounds work, Flow Yoga class, Challenging Hatha yoga, Yoga gym, good weight training session where you're working the muscles to fatigue, heavy duty house work where you're sweating!

Moderate to hard needs to be a balance of cardio and resistance training i.e. 1-3 weight training or challenging yoga classes or home strength training program and 2-4 cardio sessions: biking, hiking, running, swimming, rowing, skiing, 

Moderate to light could be: Yin Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Relaxation massage, Assisted yoga session, light yard work, seated meditation.

You can 'make up time': If you only get 45 minutes in one day you can do 75 minutes the next day. You can break up your sessions i.e. 30 minutes in the morning, 30 minutes in the evening. You can use your 7th day as a day off or make up the minutes you might need to have a weekly total of 360 Minutes.

*A huge key to lifelong success is to keep a record of your workout types, intensity and times in a way that's easy for you but you are also able to hand in to me at the end of 6 weeks.

My true, deeper hope is that after you've done 6 weeks at 6 days a week you will be able to maintain this for life

and feel your best for the best part of your life - today!
