Fitness Challenge

They are READY TO GO!!

The Leash Your Fitness 8 week Fitness Challenge was a success!! It was AMAZING how much EVERYONE got stronger, improved their flexibility and endurance lost weight and/or inches and did GREAT!!

The class was held inside so there were no excuses to miss because of the rain.The challenge started with a pre-assessment that measured body weight, inches, core and upper and lower body strength, flexibility and endurance.  For 6 weeks the participants were challenged with some pretty tough exercises set in a circuit. There were 8 exercises and they had 45 seconds to do each one.  They had between a 12 & 15 second break in between each exercise.  Funny how slow 45 seconds goes and how fast 15 seconds flies!! They did 3 rounds of each circuit and then the circuit was switched and they had to start over for a total of 6 rounds!!  Of course we had to add a bonus round of core in!! By the last workout, they did 8 rounds total and were KILLING IT!!!Each week they got a motivational email with a diet tip of the week and a few recipes to try.  Everyone should be really proud of themselves.  There were some major diet changes including: drinking more water, cutting down on the carbohydrates, switching salad dressings, watching portions and cutting out the chocolate!!!

The post- assessment told the story! I have to say, that I was very impressed at how well everyone did!  But you know there can only be one winner and although the numbers were within 1% –Jen Fay came out the champion with Sue Glass coming in a very close 2nd place.  For their hard work:  Jen won a FREE monthly membership to Leash Your Fitness and Sue won the next month’s Upper Body Circuit Madness classes so that they can both continue to on their healthy journey.
