It’s time for some motivation and inspiration and embrace our inner SLUG – “slowly losing unwanted girth”.
Sign on the door: Support Group for SLUGs
**stands up** “Hello, my name is Lady Rose and I’m a SLUG.”
I am starting a new support group – for everyone (myself included) who is a slug at heart and hates exercise. Along with a 12 step recovery program, the support group also sponsors SLUG Challenges (slowly losing unwanted girth).
A SLUG Challenge is setting yourself a health or fitness goal, writing it down, testing yourself to see where you are now, then creating a plan to reach your goal.
My first slug challenge is to do 100 pushups. I can only do two regular pushups so I have a ways to go. I added the challenge to my food journal. To start I am doing modified pushups (on my knees) and also triceps pushups (Angelgirl taught me these, she learned them in her karate classes). I started with 15 each for this past Monday and Tuesday, rested on Wednesday, and will do 20 of each today and tomorrow, rest, then two days with increased reps, continued until I can do 100 modified pushups and 100 triceps pushups. Then I will begin again doing regular pushups. Pushups are easy to do, don’t require any special equipment, and are one of the top all around exercises for the arms and chest area and also help stengthen the core. Along the way I’ll add on other challenges as well.
Who wants to join the SLUG support group? Are you ready to embrace the SLUG in you? Do you set challenges for yourself? Even if you aren’t a slug, let us know how you challenge yourself and get fit. If you post about your slug challenge let us know (can be any fitness goal no matter how small or big), I’ll be creating a gallery to spotlight members of the SLUG support group. Together we can reach our goals and slowly lose unwanted girth!
