Day 6

"To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art."


*Mini Contest*
Once again, this is just for fun! I challenge you to do 50 lunges today. You can do the lunges in sets of 25 if you'd like. Rotate each lunge with every other leg. As long as you get it done today it counts. Take your time if your not used to this activity. This is in addition to any other exercise you have planned for the day.

*****(Disclaimer: If you've had back or neck surgery I recommend you be careful or walk 1/4 mile instead and this will count for the challenge.)*****


*Here are the instructions on how to do a proper lunge. You may do this with or without weights.

Step 1:
With dumbbells (optional) in each hand, tailbone tucked under and feet hip-width apart.

Step 2:
Step forward with right leg and then as you exhale lower the body so that your right knee forms a 90° angle. The right knee should be directly over the ankle and ensure the knee does not move past the ankle.

Step 3:
As you exhale, push off the right leg and return to the standing position. Repeat the motion on the left leg. Work to make sure ankles and knees are stable throughout the movement. This is a "traveling" exercise so you are moving forward as you alternate legs.
