Amanda’s Holiday Bootie Buster Challenge 2011 starts today! 

Have you signed up?  I don’t think it’s too late so you should head on over to Run To The Finish and do it.  Amanda has the challenge broken down into three levels:

Builders – for people just starting out and getting in the habit of working out, training for their 1^st 5k, or someone who is mostly doing yoga and weights. 

Doers– for those people who have been committed to training plan, maybe those training for their 1^st half marathon or first sprint tri or working on increasing mileage.

Advanced – for those who are training for a half ironman, ironman, have several marathons under your belt, those who are active in some form every day. 

I put myself in the “Doers” category because I am following a plan for the Midwinter Classic.  I am active nearly everyday, but I am definitely not training for an ironman or my umpteenth marathon, so I thought “Doer” better describes me.  What do you think? 

The point system is as follows:

-1 point/mile (running/walking)

-1 point/3 miles (biking)

-1point/20 minutes weight lifting/ pilates, yoga, stretching, abs

-1 point/15 minutes of low impact cardio  (low impact aerobics, easy biking, skiing, skating, water aerobics, snow shoeing)

-1 point/10 minutes of high impact cardio (spinning, kickboxing, lap swimming)

-1 per day when you’ve reached a minimum of 7 services of fruits/veggies

So far I’ve earned:

-       I ran 4 miles this morning = 4 points

-       I at more than 7 services of fruits/veggies (kale, banana, apple (2), tomato, avocado (whole), = 1 point

-       Daily Total: 5 points

This is an incredible challenge to keep us motivated!  Sign up here. 

Oh & the challenge runs from 11/19 to 1/6!
