April 2013 30 Day Challenge Participant List

I was asked to continue the 30 Day Challenge into April and so on April fool's day, joking aside we embark on our new 30 Day Challenge IV.  The Challenge consists of a nutritional challenge and one other change, you get to pick what. For instance, if you want to break a bad habit or introduce a good habit, this challenge is for you. The challenge will provide suggestions on how to overcome and as in all the other changes, perfection is not the goal, but being intentional. A 30 Day focus can eradicate a bad habit and set another in place!  

Check with your physician or health care provider that you are clear to participate. I am not a doctor or a health care professional and advice on this site is not meant to take the place of your health provider or doctor's advice. Check with your doctor if you have pre-existing medical conditions that might be affected by your nutritional commitment. 

I would like to welcome all the participants and introduce them to you! Tomorrow I will post the nutritional commitment of each participant. Every body is different and we all have very individualized goals! I am very excited to let you know that we will continue to have our 3 Piece Snack segments and in addition to that, this time I am honored to introduce to you author, Allison Jorgens who will be helping us make the best decisions in the grocery store.

TIP #2

Matt Nelson

Nutrition

- adding banana peppers for some wonderful kick & vitamins

Strength

- easy exercise to help improve that balance (got a couch cushion?)

Motivation

-being more realistic in your goals

by Matt Nelson

for more on these tips, please watch this short video

I love Matthew's last tip about keeping your goals realistic. I was somebody who over trained for years out of a feeling of obligation and sometimes guilt, not I train because I love it and because I am far more tuned to what my body needs. Having said that, I also learned that there is way more potential in my body that I give it credit for, when I was training by myself, the highest weight was a 10 pound dumbbell, when I trained with Igor Klibanov, that was the minimum weight we used....and you know what, I soon learned that I was underestimating myself. This might seem contradictory to Matt's tip, but really it's not. Heavier weights were more realistic for me, but I was not fulfilling my potential. In the same way, you may be trying to maintain a crazy work out schedule that is something that is not conducive to keeping up as a lifestyle and those goals may need readjusting in order to make them realistic!
