I love the energy it brings, the determination, the fire, the enthusiasm!!! Just two days into the 4 week Relentless Challenge I feel a HUGE positive energy towards my fitness goals.

I’ve had 2 Relentless days and looking forward to another 26 before the Challenge is complete!!
Yesterday:
I ran for 10 mins then did 4 hard sprints, 3 sets of walking lunges and then my 7 for 7 ABS~
What RELENTLESS means to me:
*Saying no to the temptation of straying from my diet-no dairy, no alcohol, no sweets, lots of protein, lots of veggies, taking my supplements
*Working out with an intensity that no one in the gym can match
*Being focused on my form and posture at all time
*Stepping up my cardio/intervals a notch
*Working out for a total of 1-2 hours six days a week, using every minute productively
*Focusing extra hard on my abs
*Practicing my posing
*logging my progress
This will be fun! if I don’t die.
Today:
I did legs at the gym–had a killer workout that included:
Leg culrs
Leg press
light squats
one leg at a time leg press
calf raises- on leg press, seated and rotary
more leg curls
Leg extensions–these up to 175#x8reps
side lunges- no weight
smith lunges
walking lunges
ab wheel
knee ups
hanging sit ups
Off to CLEAN and cook,
Your RELENTLESS friend,
Michelle
The perfect word!!! I tend to use it in a negative way but after reading your post I guess it is a much more positive word than I thought. I think it should be how I need to focus on the last half of the 10 weeks SSS Contest. Thank you x
You know what, I’ve never thought of it in a negative way…wonder why?
I need to be more relentless !!
I feel relentless today……. After reading this post this morning, and thinking of this word….. The Eye of the Tiger song is playing in my head….. I’ll be hitting that leg without soon!
Great word!!! Love to apply it to my fitness goals…
Yes I want to be RELETLESS!!!!
I have so many days when I feel like this but the last few have been so hard! Didn’t make it to the gym last night but will hit my hard cardio class tonight!
LOVE the word! shared the post with my husband
yesterdays workout definitely showed my relentlessness! I had so many things come up that pushed my workout farther and farther but i put my foot down and made sure I was there even though I got there so late! It felt nice to be there but i definitely pushed myself harder! I got through a crazy back work out and made sure i did some legs and abs! Tonight is going to be a similar situation but I will make sure I make it in regardless..
