I began this with coworkers and we help keep each other motivated. :)
Rules for Month 1 of Workout Plan –
1.) Choose 4 days throughout the week that will be designated as workout days. These will be the same throughout the month regardless of vacation, kids, life plans, etc…
2.) Choose 1 day as a designated “floater” day. For example, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday OR Sunday. The first 3 days must be met, but the 4th can be completed on Saturday OR Sunday in this schedule. There will only be 1 designated floater day throughout the month.
3.) Workout for 30 minutes on your designated days. (must submit pic as proof of workout)
4.) If you miss 1 of your designated workout days, you must pay: $1 for the first failure. Every failure after the first doubles in pay; for example, the 2nd missed workout will cost $2, the 3rd will cost $4, etc. (This amount is doubled if the fall occurs on your floater days since there were 2 days to “get it in.”)
5.) If you are the person with the most workout failures throughout the month, you will buy other challengers a smoothie.
