Keeping Motivated

Like many of you, I'm continually looking for new things to motivate me. It can be tough at times. You find yourself asking, " Why am I doing this?" I have found by searching for and attempting new challenges, it definitely helps. Also, my friends and I are constantly challenging one another. You name it, we'll compete at it. Everything from timed sit-ups and stair repeats to hardcore fitness programs. Our latest competition is what I've titled the Millenium "1000" Challenge. It's a three and half circuit of the famous "300" Workout. If you're looking for a little kick in the butt, give it a try. I was able to get through the "1000" in 44:54, but it definitely left a mark! If you're just getting started, try 300 reps of the program. See if you can do it in under 10 minutes. It's tough. Give it a try.
