Fitness Challenge: 1

Last Sunday I set my first fitness challenge of 2015. My challenge was to have at least 20 active minutes a day on my FitBit. I read that doing 20 minutes a day is a great starting point to help keep yourself fit and healthy. This is going to be a regular segment on my blog now and I'm excited to get fitter, healthier and lose some weight.

My first challenge started on Monday 9th March and ended today 15th March.

{Data from my FitBit}
I am super happy that I was able to reach my daily target. Some days were easier than others but I'm glad every day I did a lot more than the minimal 20 minutes. I'd walk more, I went to the gym one of the days and did some weights.

{Data from my FitBit}
These are my steps for the week, I'm pretty impressed that only met my targets all week apart from Friday (13th). It was a pretty bad day for me overall. I had an assignment due at university and the day just went bad to worse, I understood why it was Friday 13th that day! I'm unsure why my active minutes are so high for Friday 13th. I think maybe because when I was active I was running around like a headless chicken!
Of course today isn't over, it has barely started and already I've done 5432 steps and 20 active minutes. I just went shopping and walk about while picking some things up for dinner.

Have you recently set yourself any fitness challenges? 
Do You have a challenge for me to take next week?

  3. It hard for me to hit 5k steps because I am at home most of the time, but I do this workout called T25 daily - this forces me to move actively for 25 minutes :D
