6) seated dumbbell overhead triceps extension- this one took concentration to do it at one point I almost had lowered the dumbbell to where it was almost touching my neck. 3 sets 15,12 reps using 10 pound weight and 10 reps using a 15 pound weight.
I finished week 1 of my transform yourself challenge. I even had gotten an email from Nicole Lee which was very cool. Nicole Lee is Figure Olympia champion. The winner gets to train with her and also Kim Oddo and also a photo shoot with Muscle Fitness Hers. As my sister Jenny said to me when I was thinking of doing this challenge "what do you have to lose". The answer is quite simple which is the only think I will lose is weight, I will become healthier so that is a gain.
Days 6& 7
Rest Days.

200 mile challenge update.
I signed up for this challenge on April 6 and it runs to July 31st. I have done 57 miles which includes my working out in the gym as well as my running. So I will need to step it up some if I want to finish this challenge.
