30 x 30 Challenge

Days Left: 870
Goal #13: Complete a 30x30 Challenge (Work out 30 minutes a day for 30 days)

This challenge was really fun! I worked out for at least 30 minutes a day for 30 days straight. I actually started this challenge on Friday, October 19 (the day I got back from spending 4 months in Senegal), but stopped at Day 28 because I was in a wedding and literally couldn't find 30 minutes! So, this 30x30 Challenge below started on Sunday, November 25 and ended Tuesday, December 25.

The workout is definitely dominated by Nike Training Club (an awesome I-Pad/Phone app with a personal trainer style workout). And once a week my friend Sarah and I run to Logan Circle (a cute park in DC) and meet for a 30 minute (ish) circuit training workout which we alternate who plans. Finally, I also got my workout on at a local dance studio taking Hip Hop and Tap classes!

Overall, working out for 30 minutes a day wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I will definitely be continuing the habit!
