One of the people I work with invited me last month to a 21-Day Accountability Challenge held by a coach from Beach Body. This was the first I had heard of the challenge, and did not know what to expect and I wasn't sure if I wanted to participate in it at first. I made the decision to do it and I am thankful for it.
I am not one that is good with sticking out with working out and being healthy. Especially when I am at school, it is too easy to just cook spaghetti and call it a day. Even when I'm home for the summer, it is hard to handle trying to stick to something. It is always hard to stick to working out if something stops helping me lose weight I get upset and stop doing what I had been doing.
This challenge allowed me to get to know several people that are amazing and inspirational people. We got through the first 21-day challenge together, pushing each other and trying to compete with each other. First of all, the thing that made this challenge so fun was the competition. We were competing to see who would get the most points. As a person who has always been competitive, competing is something that drives me to do better and stick with something. Second of all, the challenge was fun because it brought together people who I had never met before, but we got to know each other through this challenge.
It isn't always easy to stick to something, like a workout plan or being healthier, but when you are doing it with a group of people, it makes it a lot easier. By having a coach and other people completing the challenge, there is someone that is always there willing to help push you along further.
After I completed this first 21-Day Challenge, I chose to start another one. This challenge just started and this time, it is based on workouts from Beach Body. I just ordered the Country Heat which is supposed to be a line dancing workout. It just arrived today and I have yet to try it. I am excited and hope the challenge turns out just as good as the last one ended. Sometimes, you need someone to push you and help you along with whatever you are doing.
