Today is Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent and a time when traditionally I give up chocolate for six weeks but this year I thought maybe I could also use Lent as a fitness motivator?
This would help provide the start of a training programme for fitness challenges I am thinking of doing this year. The possible challenges I am thinking of are: a 20-mile Ullswater Way; a Langdale Pikes hike in the Lake District, covering several mountains in one go; Ben Nevis if Simon and I go on holiday in Scotland this June. None of these are definite and could be replaced by something else (hopefully not laziness!)
So for the next six weeks I am aiming to:
Do 10,000 steps/5 miles every day via YouTube videos, walking my parents' dogs, gym treadmill/cycle etc, outside walks
20 squats daily
10 press-ups daily working up to 10 more every week until I get to 50 by Easter
I'll see how this goes...
