03/08/2010 - Benchmark Monday - Jump, Sit, Push

We are not too serious around here, except for working out and tracking progress!

Every Monday in March is a Benchmark Monday.

This is a time where we will take a previous workout and try and improve our time or effort on it.

Feeling like you have gotten fitter, healthier, faster, stronger is great and what we are striving to accomplish. Being able to point to the white board, notebook, website and PROVE to yourself (and the world because bragging rights are awesome) that you accomplished your goal is even better! (and by Better I mean freak'in sweet!)

Remember to keep your notebooks and food logs up to date to track your progress!
