Welcome to Day Twelve! You'll find a number of the challenges today will look familiar to you...hey, practice makes perfect, right? As always, modify the challenges as needed, but be sure you're still challenging yourself with new and different ways of eating and moving.
 
 
Your Active Challenge
  Your Active Challenge

Park in the furthest parking space from the door

Each time you go somewhere today, make it a point to park as far from the door as you can to add more walking to your daily routine. If you're not driving today, choose a previous challenge or create your own active challenge.

Your Exercise Challenge - Core
  Your Exercise Challenge

Take at least 5-10 minutes to do the exercises shown in this Core Workout.

The workout includes intermediate/advanced moves on an exercise ball. If you don't have a ball or aren't comfortable trying the moves, Do 1-3 sets of 16 reps of the following exercises:

Bicycle Crunches

Back Extension

Medicine Ball Crunches

Dead Bug

Knee Tucks on the Ball

You can also choose any of these Ab Workouts or your own routine.

 
Your Flexibility Challenge
  Your Flexibility Challenge

At least three times today, perform the stretches shown in the Seated Stretch workout.

Other Options:

Your own flexibility routine or any one of these Flexibility Workouts.

 
Your Nutrition Challenge
  Your Nutrition Challenge

Try at least one fruit or vegetable you've never tried before.

You should recognize this challenge from Day Seven, so choose something new to try today. Remember, any fruit or vegetable counts as long as it's something you've never tried - or haven't tried in a long time. The idea is to break out of your usual eating routine and expand your eating horizons just a little.

 
Your Mind/Body Challenge
  Your Mind/Body Challenge

Think of one activity you really enjoy but rarely get to do and set aside at least 5 minutes today to do it.

This can be anything - reading a book, listening to your favorite song, taking a drive, puttering in the yard, watching sports, etc.

  Your Day Twelve Checklist
How'd you do with your challenges today? Use this checklist to cross off everything you accomplished or make notes on what you didn't accomplish and why. You can also use the checklist to make substitutions for any challenges that didn't work for you or create even more challenges for yourself.
