    @hawkins410- can you post links to either YouTube videos or darebee workouts that show the way to do the exercises in this weeks rockettes challenge? I'm unfamiliar with some of them and want to make certain I'm doing the correct exercise. Thanks!

    Each stretching position must be done at least three times. Any actual dancing is optional and on your own! :)

    Erm, how big of a room do we need to do the exercises in for the Rockettes challenge? It just says go "across the room" with no definition of the size of the room you are 'going across'. Or maybe it would be better to just say, do x number of each per set to ensure we're all doing the same amount of exercise?

    In the week 6 thread it sounds like we need to do 3 sets of the Rockettes exercises... but when you say each stretch needs to be done 3 times, it sounds like it's one set of three stretches for each of the 6. If it's 3 sets, we just need to know if there is a specific number per set since in the link it just says 'across the room', and if it is actually supposed to be one set of 3 per stretch, then we just need that clarified. Thanks!

    Dance studios are ideally at least 45' x 45'. However, knowing most of us don't have access to a dance studio, or a room that large, I have left the specific amount up to the individual racers (just as the article left it vague). I'm planning on doing at least 20 of each exercise, which means I will have to go in circles, back and forth in my living room, down a long hall at work, or outside. But that's just me! I'd like to leave it to each player to determine what he/she thinks is a fair amount and good for their bodies. Obviously, "Bathroom Lunges" would be a tad "underwhelming", but I don't want to overwhelm anyone either. What ever works for you, and gives you a good, decent stretch, is just dandy! :)

    Ah, you know me too well...I was contemplating bathroom exercises... ;)

    Thanks, that helps a bunch. I personally may try to do at least one or two sets in my gym's exercise room, if it is free when I go. Will do the first set at home, down the hallways, so I can get them figured out before trying in public. :smirk:

    @MissionEnforcer is trying his best to keep the teams as even as possible. Have your Team Captain message him with who needs to be replaced (or you can do it if @SmashleyM914 is not available). Will @ldrichmond476 ONLY play on Team Four or is he/she available for other teams if needed? Thank you! :)

    I will be excited to do this again in Feb. All we have to do is maintain the healthy habits we have been doing over the last couple of months and we should be able to start strong and end stronger.

    No, there won't be one in January. I will be out of town with my dad for much of December and it takes a lot of time to get these up and running. I'll see if I can talk @MissionEnforcer into a Feb-March race. I'm so happy you enjoyed this one and got something out of it! :)

    I would be SO HAPPY if you guys do another one!!! :D:D

    Me too!! I know this takes a ton of work, and you have to put up with PiTA people like me asking bunches of questions, but I've totally enjoyed the challenge and appreciate all that you've done to make this happen!! Hope you will do another!! <3:star:<3
