Looking forward to another good show...and this time getting to watch it live finally! (And getting home before 8pm for once 
But bummed it will only be 1 hour yet again.
Commercial Challenge:
In honor of tonight's episode named the drop:
I can't remember what these are called. You bend your knees & jump in the air throwing your arms above your head. As you land back on your feet, you keep bending your knees and touch the ground with your hands and then immediately push back up with your legs to a jump with your arms overhead...and cycle.
For a harder version, when you land & bend your knees to touch the ground with your hands, instead of going straight back into a jump, you punch your legs out into a pushup, then back to your hands and then back up into the jump...and cycle.
If you have bad knees or something find an alteration like wall "squat" holds or something.

Had to chuckle. I'm reading the description of the exercise thinking my body is not ready for that and the next paragraph is "for a harder version" . . .
So yeah . . . A modification will have to be done ; )
I can only imagine the capabilities my body will be able to do in some things. But hey I can go down the stairs with either leg now, instead of that one leg, hold on to a handrail shuffle. And with no need of a handrail to ease stress on knees. It's progress . . . literally one step at a time.0 -
Squat jumps and burpees.
Yikes!!0 -
I don't think my downstairs neighbor will appreciate this challenge. I think instead I will do a modification of the burpee that is on the dvd's I'm doing.
Instead of jumping up, just going up onto my toes
Instead of jumping out into plank, walking my legs out into plank
And no push up (I am still not strong enough to do a full push up)0 -
Hi Everyone--I'm back! Sorry I haven't been on for awhile--we have had something to do every Thursday night for the past couple of weeks. I'm glad that I am able to watch the show "live"
Dolvett--I will save you!!!! Ugghh--time for burpies!! 0 -
I am holding out for Blue right now.0
-
Awesome! Blue got it!0

I never understand why when teams lose their trainers they look so defeated. They have been there 7 weeks. Seems like they'd know the routine by now.0
-
I agree. It is like they don't trust their team to be able to go on without them.0
-
Jump squats are done.0
-
Really surprised at Comeback Canyon's numbers.0

What is going on with the Blue team!0

Awww. That was very nice on the canyon and that was a ROCK!!0

Next week looks interesting! I can understand what JJ is doing--everytime I fall off the wagon a little bit, I go crazy and I can't get back. Anyone else like that? Anyway to stop that behavior?0
-
Well, ladies, have a great night--I'm changing to my channel to my other guilty pleasure--Project Runway! Finale tonight, so it should be good. Take care!0

Sorry group for not getting weight reported in and missing the show chat. I developed shingles and haven't been doing much more than I have to. Will try to watch the show and do some type of exercise.0
-
Hey there Team! I have to bow out of the group due, in part, to time constraints. I wish you all the best! Go Team, go!0

I watched the show, but still having computer issues and unable to chat here while watching it. I did my own exercises during commercials and beyond. I still just am not connecting to this season that much. I just guess it is due to the change in trainers and also not finding any connection with a contestant. So I watch it, but am not that drawn in as I have been in the past. Still feel like this season's losses are less than prior seasons by far. I could be wrong, but their numbers each week are just not seeming that impressive. I expect BIG results when you are there at the ranch and have 100% focus on workouts and food. If you only lose 2 pounds there, then you would probably gain if you were at home and working and dealing with family life. So I continue to be unimpressed with this season.0

I watched the episode (which apparently aired at 1am on Friday where I'm at). I did my modified burpees during the commercials (I hate them, the up down makes me dizzy). I've been really surprised with the low numbers this year. Some of the contestants seem to be losing the same amount that I would expect a person to be able to do at home. Not that it's a bad thing, but you would think that with being cut off from everything, the nutrition help, and the constant exercising the numbers would be bigger. Still not sure if I like Jen or Jessie. I do however love Bob and the comeback canyon. 0 -
I had to modify slightly. I watched it a little late and have downstairs neighbors.

Watched the show finally just in parts as not able to sit still for long. I was getting lots of walking in due to getting shingles but today I injured my knee so going to get creative about exercise. I have found an appreciation for how the contestants exercise despite injuries. But I have lost 5 lbs in the last week per doctor's scale.0

Watching the show live and chatting is so much more interesting by the way.0

I also didn't make the deadline last week..... sorry sole trainers. Ive had a sickly family lately. I did lose a bit though. I can definitely relate to JJ..... I bounce up n down a lot. I want to see change but seem to find small ways to sabotage my success instead of ways to victory.. Hope to get it together soon. I done the commercial challenge, but unfortunately only on two breaks. Kids are so demanding at times and I rarely watch live shows anymore. lol.0

My taping of show was lost but found the BL site had episodes. So got creative with the commercial challenge. I did static deep knee bends on total gym. Next day and I am FEELINGi it!!!0
