Post your results for the November Challenge!

November has come and gone. With it some of us set some goals and met them. Some set goals but fell short. The question is, even if you fell short of your goal did you accomplish more than you would have with no goal at all? I know I did. I fell short on my no drinking goal by 3 days so got 27/30 on that one.

As far as the cardio goal I did well on the first half of the month 15/15 , second half of the month I got injured playing soccer and we had our baby so was a bit of a write off (total 20/30).

Definitely worth missing some workouts for

I will be testing to see how I did on the physical challenge goals and posting that here later this week.

Please post in the comments how you did on your goals so we can choose winners. Everyone loves prizes……

Every November I do a personal challenge with my Vancouver personal training and boot camp clients. What we do is choose one thing to give up for the month or add something in for the whole month. For myself I am doing no alcohol for the month and adding 20 minutes of cardio every day. Last month with only cutting alcohol I dropped 7 lbs and felt great.

Would you like to join? Please add a comment with what you will be adding or dropping for the next 30 days. I am gathering prizes. Everyone who completes the challenge will be entered to win. If you only do cardio 28/30 days you may still have a chance , let me know your totals. Prizes will be announced here next week.

Print this calendar and put you goal down and mark it off as you go.

My Goals 30 days no drinking, do 20 minutes of cardio 30 days (min 2 rows per week), 1 leg squat increase from10-25, overhead squat body weight x 1 current max 135 lbs, 10 full range handstand push ups current max 2, improve 500m row time from 1:37- 1:30 or below, L-sit 1:30 hold form :45s.

Media Challenge Winner

Vancouver Personal Trainer Craig Boyd and Media Challenge winner Anicka Quinn present a check to Lori Francisco of the Parkinson Society of BC

This January we had our first ever Media Charity Fitness Challenge. We asked local media, print, radio and TV to come out and get in shape in support of their favorite charity. The event was free to enter and whoever got the best results gotto name their charity and we donated $500 for them. It was a resounding success. This years winner Anicka Quin presented Lori Franco of the Parkinson Society of BC with the check (see photo). Anicka lost 3% body fat and 32.5 cm (13 inches) total from 4 main measurement spots (arms, stomach, hips, legs). Anicka also, decreased her resting heart rate by 6 BPM and increased her cardiovascular endurance by27% (12 minute run .90- 1.27 miles). This was all accomplished by attending my boot-camp 2 mornings a week and doing a nutritional consultation and adopting a few new healthy eating strategies. Congratulations Anicka and thanks to the Parkinson Society of BC for sending someone to collect their donation.
