This will be a 9 week long fitness challenge based upon Season 4 Part 2 of The Walking Dead to run from February 3rd until March 31st, 2014.
Meat and Greet: Introduce yourself on that thread.
Episode Recap Threads: This is where to read about what happened on the show last.
Walking Dead Threads: These are where you'll find your weekly challenges.
Talking Dead Threads: This is where you and your team discuss the current challenges and motivate each other.

To begin:
Step One:
On February 3rd or before:
Choose a team, introduce yourself on the Talking Dead thread of that team and read the challenge on the Walking Dead thread of that team. There are no limits on team size. Scoring will be averaged 'per capita' so that small teams have the same chances of winning each week as do large teams.
Step Two:
Week 1 February 3rd-8th
Set your goals and send them in to your team captain so they can start a spreadsheet.
If you are looking to lose weight, do an official weigh in and take before pics.
Inches? Measure yourself and take before pics.
Run faster? Time your best run and see if you can beat it at the end of the challenge.
Improve your strength or endurance? Take notes on what you are doing now and plan out how you are going to improve.
Step Three:
Complete the 3 Cardio, Strength and Food Challenges in your team's Walking Dead thread and send your results to your team captain by Saturday at Midnight Central. Scoring is as follows:
Completed Cardio Minimums: +1
Completed Weight Training/Resistance Training Minimums: +1
Completed Food Intake Goals: + 1
These will be added to the Character points that your Character earned for you on the last episode*, scored as follows:
Walker kills: +1
Living enemy kills: +2
*Week One's kills will be based on the mid season finale.
Example calculation:
A 20 member team has 15 members complete all 3 challenges= 45 points
3 members complete 2 of the challenges= 6 points
2 members don't check in and haven't arranged for an absence. =0 points
Your team's Character killed 3 zombies and 1 living enemy in the last episode = 5 points.
Total 56 points divided by 20 people is a final score of 2.8
Step Four:
Watch the show Sunday night and cheer for your Character to kill as many Walkers and living enemies as possible and hope they stay alive!
If your Character dies, your entire team must immediately join the Walker Horde.
Step Five:
Each Monday, check your team's Walking Dead board for winning team and MVP announcements, rewards, new weekly challenges and penalty exercises assigned by the winners.
Other Notes:
a)Each team will face different levels of intensity based on that character's strengths and on their performance in the past episode. For example, Daryl and Michonne will face much tougher challenges than any of the children.
b) A winning team will be chosen each week. Winning teams get to hand out punishment exercises to the other teams' members.
c) Each week every team captain will award one team member with a weekly MVP award. These awards will be based on participation and performance. MVP's will get highly sought after privileges and rewards for that week and will be immune from punishment exercises. Completing extra cardio minutes and/or being a motivational presence within your team will qualify you for possible MVP status.
d) At the end of the challenge on March 31st, an overall winning team will be announced, plus an MVP award will be given to one member of each team. Once again, this will be based on overall participation and performance.
Read each weekly challenge carefully and get to know your team members and your team captain. Most weeks you will be required to message your team captain your weekly challenge results, or occasionally a vote or a trivia question answer. Non participation will lead us to the assumption that you have been eaten by zombies. If you need to leave the challenge either temporarily or permanently, please inform your team captain of your absence so that you are not counted into the weekly totals.
