Hi everyone
Welcome to week 3! Some people fell to the dreaded week two curse while others were able to knowck it out of the park! Our over all biggest loser was AshleyMegg from the Yellow team and our team BL was the Purple team. Your individual team biggest losers were:
Red:mnharrington
Orange:VeganMafia
Yellow: AshleyMeggg
Green:tambam72
Blue:devans25
Purple:katonaroof
Nice job everyone!
Last nights show was about bidding and losing. The gym was empty and the teams bid on equipment to use, basically trying to get the equipment their trainers use the most. When they didn’t get what they typically use, they had to get creative
Im trying to think of a good way to do this challenge and here is what I’ve come up with. ****Let me know what you guys think of this***** If its too complicated or alot of people really hate it, then I can try to come up with something else
Each player on your team has 100 crunches to bid with. There will be several fitness items up for auction and you get to bid on which of these you would like to use as your main workout for the week. You can save your crunch payments and not bid on anything, but the catch is you cannot use any equipment for your main workout that week.
For example, we are bidding on using the treadmill. Me and Jen both want it. I bid 50 crunches and she bids 75. I decide to not go any higher and she wins the auction. This means Jen must do 75 crunches to pay for her treadmill usage. She is then able to use the treadmill as much as she wants all week. I still have all 100 of my crunches left so use them to bid for hand weights and workout videos instead. I do my 100 crunches and am able to use both of those things as much as I want this week, but cannot use the other items on the list as my main workouts. It rains one day so I use my treadmill and that’s ok, but it is not my main workout for the week. If you don’t win any of the auctions, then you don’t have to do any crunches, but you also don’t get any equipment to use. This is where you have to get creative and find other ways to get your workouts in – using things around the house for weights, bodyweight exercises, running outside or going for a walk, etc. I wont take everything away from you completely because I know that’s hard, so you can have 2 days where you can use equipment you didn’t win, but the other days you have to use only the equipment you won or wasn’t on the list.
Just to make sure you all understand, we’ll do a mock auction in this page for the next couple hours. Please bid (up to your 100 crunches) for what you’d like just so people can get an idea. Bids will start at 5 crunches and go up in that increment (unless you are so obsessed with one piece of equipment that you bid a high number right away).
Heres what you have to bid on:
***
Treadmill
Elliptical
Stationary bike
Hand weights
Exercise classes (at a gym)
Rowing machine
Exercise videos –
Upper body weight machines (at a gym)
Lower body weight machines (at a gym)
***
And just to make it more complicated, you can “buy” crunches from your teammates. If im desperate to get the treadmill, I might offer to “buy” 25 of Jen’s crunches just to make sure I get it. The catch is that every crunch you buy from another player is equal to 5 crunches owed. So if I buy those 25 crunches, I have to do 125 whether I end up winning with them or not.
We did a quick practice auction with these so you can get an idea. I will start it off bidding 5 crunches each for exercise videos and hand weights. Ill update here with current bids as we go through it as well. Once you get the hang of it, go ahead and post in your team threads. The auctions will end at 8pm tomorrow night, or once everyone has used all their points (whichever comes first), to give you all time to do your workouts this week
Remember to keep track of what you have! Don’t bid 75 on one thing and 50 on another if you only have 100 crunches or youll have to forfeit one.
I realize this is a little different than the challenges we normally do, but hopefully it will help you to get creative with your workouts and inspire you to try something different than you normally do! When you report this week, make sure you post in your thread what you won (if anything) how many crunches you did to pay for it, and any times you used other items on this list. To get a complete this week you can only use items you didn’t win on two days, and you must complete all th crunches you bet for items you won. If you’re someone whose only exercise is running outside everyday, then I guess you are golden for this week since you don’t need equipment
optional challenge: Complete the "Ghostly gallop" - Tomorrow is halloween and your goal is to complete a 5k (3.1 miles) You can do this walking, jogging, skipping, etc. You might even get it just walking the kiddos around trick or treating! Let us know what you did, how you felt, and especially if you were in costume or not. If you complete it your reward is a piece of halloween candy of your choice

OK So now here is a good example - kyoung1908 has now bet all her 100 crunches. If the auction ends now, she would win both of these. However if someone outbids her, she would either have to just choose one item to bid on, or else "buy" crunches from a teammate0 -

yes but that means that person would have to do 500 crunches for it....and these are for individual peoples use not for a team. You will do an auction in your teams thread for each of these items0 -

Ok the auction is over and heres what the final was:
Treadmill - mentalmunchie, 100 crunches
Elliptical - Loveme45, 55 crunches
Stationary bike - soccerella 10 crunches
Hand weights - kyoung1908 55 crunches
Exercise classes (at a gym) - katonaroof, 60 crunches
Rowing machine - soccerella 5 crunches
Exercise videos – Oh_Allie, 100 crunches
Upper body weight machines (at a gym) - soccerella 10 crunches
Lower body weight machines (at a gym)- soccerella 10 crunches
So if this was our team, I would have to do 35 crunches and would be able to do upper and lower body weight machines at my gym, the stationary bike, and rowing machine (not a bad workout!)
Mentalmuchie has claim to the treadmill and owes 100 crunches.
Loveme45 has paid 55 crunches to do the elliptical
Kyoung2008 got handweights for 55 crunches. HOWEVER, she also purchased 10 of mine to big with. So even though she didnt win with my extra ones, she still has to pay for them, so 5 x 10 = 50 extra crunches
Katonaroof has gym classes for 60 crunches
Oh_Allie has exercise videos for 100 crunches.
There are several things to bid on so hopefully your team can play nice and most people can get something they will use. Remember you can sell your crunches (which obviosuly means you cant bid with them) and whoever buys them has to do 5x as many even if they dont end up using them. You'll want to check in on your team thread too. So for example a post from Kyoung2008 might say "I bought 10 crunches from soccerella so I had to do 50 extra on top of the 55 I used to win the hand weights. Ive finished those and have been using weights for all my workouts this week! I ran outside a couple times when the weather wasnt bad, but it was dark when I got off work thursday so I went to the gym and used the treadmill there" This example would get her a complete for the challenge because she paid all her crunches and only used her equipment (except for the one or two days you are allowed as an exemption)
Alright, time to start bidding in your teams threads if you ahvent already!0
