Anyone interested in a muffin top challenge?

legallyginger

No, this is not about eating muffins. Sorry.

I LOVE Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans' fitness calendars. The one for May doesn't seem too intimidating, so I was wondering if any ladies on here would be interested in doing it with me and maybe having a check in every few days to keep each other accountable. I figure no matter how in shape anyone is, we could all probably use some ab-strengthening.

So, anyone in?


ETA: there are instructions on how to do each move on the website https://shrinkingjeans.net/2014/04/muffintop-melting-may-workout-calendar/

I'm in! I can't do a whole lot exercise-wise yet, but this seems do-able.

natsmama

My muffin top and I will join you

nkrone08

I'm in! I've been walking but wanted some strengthening exercises to add to the mix. This sounds good!

amandapthompson

I think I too am ready!

I'm in. I kinda think it should be one thread that we check into daily (like the randomest or the newborn ones), rather than a weekly one because if I'm only accountable once a week, I'm likely to be lax the rest of the days. Thoughts?

If everyone is down with that, it sounds good to me. The other option I was thinking of would be a check-in on Mondays and Fridays. But a single thread might be easier to keep track of. I'll go with whatever everybody wants.

Agree.

Works for me

Also- can I still EAT a muffin for breakfast every morning?

I love their fitness challenges too! I was just reading this on FB. I'm in!

myfriendscallmemeg

Ughhhhh I'm in!

Zombielove126

Yesssss, just yes. I need this. I'm also doing the no sugar in May challenge, so hopefully coupling the two will melt my muffins!

jessher

This looks totally manageable. Every little bit helps, right? I'm in!

clo1982

I'm in! Is there also a shrinking butt, shrinking hips and shrinking thighs challenge I could get into!?!

nlane0723

Definitely in!

htn1763

I'm in! I am not cleared yet, but should be next week. 

kaking78

I'll join when I'm cleared! May not be until the 12th though.

@clo1982 check out the rest of the calendars on their site! I love them, it's only three exercises a day usually for each of them so it only takes a few minutes to do. You could definitely do more than one at a time. They have abs, legs, arms, butt, all kinds of stuff.

They're also doing a challenge on this website called DietBet. You put $125 into a pot (they usually have quite a few people join), and then your goal is to lose 10% of your body weight over six months. At the end of the six months, anyone that has lost 10% splits the pot, so if you do it, you're guaranteed to at least get your money back. I'm seriously considering it.

I will definitely check it out! I've been doing great with working out (and horrible with eating well). I'm one of those super annoying people who loves to exercise so motivation isn't a factor for me. It's my 'me time' and dh knows if I don't get my little half hour most days I will get bitchy! I'm not as concerned with the number on the scale but damn do I need to firm up and shrink my hip/thigh area! I think there may be a baby living in there that they missed when they got DS out of my belly!
