New Year, New Challenge, No Excuses!

I'm always game to talk to other fitness-minded people about getting in shape and challenging ourselves. I love to connect with new people, learn new things, and get motivated by them!  That's why when I learned about the #SweatPink #noexcuses challenge for 2015, I wanted to get on board!

I've been a part of the #SweatPink community for over a year now. I'm an official SweatPink Ambassador. It's a very supportive online community from @FitApproach whose goal is to build a sisterhood of women, dedicated to perpetuating fitness and health as legitimate tools and vehicles for female empowerment. 

I'm even on the #SweatPinkAZ team running in the Ragnar Del Sol Relay next month! More on that in the next post :)

Here's how the challenge works:

• Each Sunday we’ll send you an email with weekly prompts (workouts, healthy snack ideas and more)
• We ask that you share your answer or interpretation of those prompts daily via Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, your blog, etc using #NoExcuses #SweatPink for a chance to win fun weekly prizes from brands like Augusta Active, ShowerPill, Beaming with Health….etc etc…
• Each day, we’ll all share what we’re doing and how we’re doing it on our social channels and help each other stay accountable, motivated and on top of our goals.
• Every Friday, we’ll send around an email with winners, prizes and our favorite Tweets, IG posts and blog posts from the week (hello, link love and social sharing!)

Here are this week's challenges:

Monday, 1/12: 30 sec. planks (any variation)
Tuesday, 1/13: Run or walk for at least 1 mile
Wednesday, 1/14: 10 burpees (any variation)
Thursday, 1/15: 20 squats (any variation)
Friday, 1/16: #FREEFriday - choose something to share and tag #NoExcuses
Saturday, 1/17: share a healthy snack or recipe

Want to join in on the fun? It's like having a coach and a cheering section all in one!  It's just $5 to join. Follow this link to sign up!  Be sure to tell them I sent you!

Let's get sweaty in 2015!
