I'm sorry, I missed you SaraAlexandre by 4 minutes. Boohoo. I input my stuff on the gore card this morning. I finished all the challenges this week and met personal goals. But if I was too late to qualify, I will suck it up buttercup and become part of the horde.
Oh gawd no!!! Please don't make me part of the horde!! It was only 4 minutes!! That's like getting bit on the arm, but it's ok because it just ripped my sleeve and didn't puncture the flesh!!!

Above it says to complete the workout once, but at the end of the video he says the workout should be done 3 times. Just confirming, it's for sure once?0

Whoops, just saw this now. Once for the first responders one, zumba three times. Not that it's helpful now. Lol.110challenge wrote: »Above it says to complete the workout once, but at the end of the video he says the workout should be done 3 times. Just confirming, it's for sure once?

Week 3 Challenge
As we all saw, the show went back in time and repeated the first two episodes. So we will also go back in time. I picked one of our old Walking Dead Challenge weeks at random and ended up with this one, where Carol blew up Terminus. Good times.
All Players
The theme of that old Walking Dead episode show was overcoming incredible odds with few resources. Everyone did extremely well with makeshift weapons. So, this week do at least one home workout with no equipment or with homemade equipment. These Character videos are all no equipment workouts.
All Players, even Zombies
Choose one Character to be this week and complete their video challenge.
Stay within your own three goals.
Report your successes or failures on the Gore Card next Saturday before Midnight Central.
Rick:
Rick was able to save himself and others by making good use of his makeshift weapons and by taking advantage of Carol's explosive distraction. He got a lot accomplished with his hands behind his back so try this hands free workout video:
http://youtu.be/vPwBZrMZngk
Rick was also the only one who wanted no Termites left alive and he wounded Gareth. Give yourself kudos for that and reward yourself by taking the time this week to do a favourite activity or indulge in some new workout clothes or some quiet time with a good zombie book or movie.
Daryl:
Even without his crossbow, Daryl killed plenty of zombies and enemies and was reunited with Carol. Try this awesome and hard kickboxing video from fitnessblender. Perfect for a fighter like Daryl:
http://youtu.be/UuUBRP3g73A
Michonne:
As one of the show's best fighters, she didn't disappoint, even with a homemade sword. Try this kick-butt kickboxing and abs workout from fitnessblender that suits her perfectly.
http://youtu.be/F_6ps9cyFzo
Carl:
Carl's optimism and belief in his father and the others returning to the train car gave the other survivors hope. This week, encourage your teammates in the challenge and another person in real life. Then try this fun kid's workout from fitnessblender that's great for adults too.
http://youtu.be/McD6_oOWs-M
Judith:
Tyreese is responsible for saving her life and for reuniting her with your father and brother. Tyreese ' s weapon of choice is the hammer so try this pendulum lunge exercise with a hammer curl.
http://youtu.be/wWZHv1NokMs
Carol:
Carol kicked some major butt and saved the day. Reward yourself this week with a facial and a candlelit bubble bath! And after so much butt kicking, try firming your butt with this butt-of-course video with Jillian.
http://youtu.be/U_JF3VYSuZE
Glenn:
Glenn was next in line to be killed and eaten, but thanks to Carol and Rick, he was reunited with Maggie. Glen's talent is his agility. Try this fun red light, green light fitnessblender video.
http://youtu.be/Q7eT1RSsT90
Maggie:
Like Carl, Maggie refused to believe that Rick, Glen, Michonne and Daryl wouldn't return. Share that optimism with your team inside the challenge and with someone outside of the challenge. You are a beautiful lady, reunited with your man so celebrate with this fun and sexy workout.
http://youtu.be/ZSNKnkN4JFA
Beth:
Beth wasn't shown last night but we know she is alive and that everyone is thinking about her. She seems to be in a prison or school type environment. Do a boot camp workout like this one.
http://youtu.be/FhXhOwlY2Ck
Tyreese:
Through his love for Judith, Tyreese overcame a major fear in his life. In your life make a plan to do something that you find intimidating and get it done sometime over the course of this challenge.
This week, strengthen that lower body and those hammering muscles by trying this pendulum lunge and hammer curl exercise.http://youtu.be/wWZHv1NokMs
Bob:
Bob tried to reason with the Termites to no avail. Some people can't see reason. Indulge your sensible side with this beginner's strength workout from another Bob. Bob Harper:
http://youtu.be/naJtNxEuBqw
Tara:
Last of the Governor's people, Tara has proven her intelligence, loyalty and fighting skills and perseverance. She is a good candidate for fitnessblender ' s 100 rep squat challenge.
http://youtu.be/mGvzVjuY8SY
Abraham:
Even though he seems mostly concerned with protecting Eugene, we know that Abraham is a fierce fighter like Rick, Daryl and Michonne. Try this tough HIIT workout.

Week 4 Challenge
All Living and Horde
1. Choose any 5 exercises like:
Squats
Lunges
Jumping Jacks
Mountain Climbers
Any punch combination
Any kick combination
Push ups
Sit ups
Wall sits
Crunches
2. Make a card for each one with an amount of repititions or seconds.
3. Make a Zombie Bite card, it will add 5 reps to every exercise in the round.
4. Make a Zombie Attack card, it will make you redo the whole round.
5. Object of the game is to do 5 rounds of the 5 exercises in under 30 minutes. In the first round, use only the 5 Exercise cards and conquer each one. Then take a short rest and proceed to round 2, adding the Attack and Bite cards to the pile. Shuffle the cards and choose one at random. If you choose an Exercise card, you're good, draw out all the cards and discard the Bite and Attack and just do the exercises in the order drawn.
But if you choose the Bite card first, you must add 5 reps, or if you choose the Attack card first you have to go back to the previous round and complete it again.
See if you can do 5 rounds in 30 minutes.
Here's the inventor ' s video showing the game.

Week 6 Challenge :
If you've you've made made it to Week 6, you can consider yourself very lucky to still be alive. Most of our players are Missing and Presumed Eaten.
In this second to last week, let's start to prepare for the real challenge that lays ahead on Oct 11th. Canadian Thanksgiving.
Just kidding.
I mean the premiere episode of the Walking Dead. Once again, let's look back in time to the fall of last year and do a Character challenge from the second week of that season where Daryl and Carol leave together to try and rescue Beth. Whether you are still alive or Undead you can pick Rick, Daryl, Carol or any of the others including the Horde and do their Challenge video from that episode.
As always stay within your goals and report on the Gore Card on Saturday.
Rick:
Your mantra to Carl that week was to never let your guard down. Try Jillian ' s tough Cardio Kickboxing video:
https://youtu.be/TadJgVsopHg
Daryl :
Good thing you have great instincts and you were keeping a close eye on Carol. Now you have a chance to rescue Beth! For this week's Character challenge you get to choose between Carol and Beth... I mean their videos from this week. You're a lucky guy to have so many choices!
Michonne:
Michonne lost her sword and still managed quite well with any weapon. Keep that upper body strong with this fitnessblender:
No Equipment Upper Body Workout for Great Arms:
http://youtu.be/CRGrcSDhynQ
Carl:
Carl showed amazing growth that week. He showed courage and compassion in wanting to rescue a stranger, but he wisely investigated around the church and noticed important things that his elders had missed. Reward your youthful wisdom this week by doing something you enjoyed as a child. Go to the playground, the zoo, a movie matinee, a sporting event or something similar and add this hero's workout to your strength routine this week.
Superman Exercises:
http://youtu.be/cc6UVRS7PW4
Judith:
You were the first to vote for Abraham ' s idea to continue to Washington. So, like him, try Michonne ' s video.
No Equipment Upper Body Workout for Great Arms:http://youtu.be/CRGrcSDhynQ
Carol:
In that week's episode, you seemed melancholy and distracted. In an forgiveness themed episode, you were a closed book and were clearly contemplating getting away from the group, despite Daryl ' s suggestion that you start over. Luckily Daryl read your mind and you are now off on an adventure together. So this week, do Daryl's video challenge from last week.
Cardio Kickboxing Workout - Full Length Kickboxin…:http://youtu.be/UuUBRP3g73A
Glenn:
After tripping over boxes and accidently firing off your gun, it seems like you need to work on your balance and coordination. Try this total body balance workout.
https://youtu.be/6PIVgUe6z3E
Maggie :
It was awesome that you had no trouble forgiving Tara for being part of the Governor's group in the fight at the prison that was responsible for the death of your father. As reward try this super fun Latin dance workout.
Latin Dance Fitness for Beginners
http://youtu.be/qa2IWYs3ags
Beth:
Beth's rescue may not be far off. Hopefully you are keeping in top shape so you can aid in your own rescue. Try another bootcamp video.
Denise Austin: Strength Boot Camp Workout:
http://youtu.be/4APrCMWxrjY
Tyreese:
As close as you are to your sister, you will be devastated if she loses Bob. Join him this in learning one of the one legged exercises listed below his name and add it to your strength training routine this week.
Bob:
Oh dear. Despite your optimism, it looks like you might have to learn one of these one legged exercises and add it to your strength training routine this week.
Bulgarian Split Squat
http://youtu.be/RCWkvwz7DoU
Pistol Squat (video details a progression for beginners to try, right up to insanely fit)
http://youtu.be/1-Yuq9pD7JY
One Legged Bridge:
http://youtu.be/Y-6Gonx2Wpo
Tara :
Good job in asking for and getting forgiveness from Maggie. Reward yourself by trying the fun Latin dance video with her:
Latin Dance Fitness for beginners:http://youtu.be/qa2IWYs3ags
Abraham:
Great speech about Washington. You gave the other's hope. You obviously admire Michonne ' s fighting techniques. Give her video challenge a try this week.
