Looking for advice and some info on the 30 day challange

Hi Sarah

I wish I could say otherwise but there is no guarantee of weight loss in a specific time. There are so many variables.

However I would suggest that 5-6 times per week will probably do the trick for you. You may find that to do that you can scale down on the other activities. It may be easier and more rewarding to give up those muscle tightening activities in running and riding and just focus on the yoga at least for a while (2 months). You may find more benefits. You can always go for a brisk walk or do a few poses at home on the off days. Do what suits you of course, these are just suggestions. Sometimes the devotion to one activity is a great approach.

As you will read elsewhere on the forum, sometimes changes creep up on you and all of a sudden you can feel and see a difference. Please don’t complicate matters by jumping on the scales (if you have them). Just get rid of them. You don’t need them. You may find your reduced shape accompanies an increase in what the scales say. So please just don’t use them, give them to someone else to look after.

The 30 day challenge is supposed to be 30 days in a row. I don’t subscribe to that particular challenge I think it should be 6 days a week with the optional 7th class to be taken if your body feels up to it. There’s no need to burn yourself and your motivation up in a single month. And your body needs its recovery time.

Your aim is really to create a meaningful long term practice not some flash in the pan.

Work on sustainability and your rewards will be better, quicker and long lasting

Namaste
