Thanks Shelley, I might be calling on you for lots of encouragement and coaching! My gym is really great, when I joined I got a free session with a trainer to get my programme started but since then she has offered me loads of advice and support so its nice to know that I have help if I need it.
WD starting back tomorrow! wohoo wohoo!!:happy:0 -
Good morning all! Today is officially our first day! I hope everyone has planned some great cardio workouts and is getting started on completing the 240 minutes of cardio we need for the week, remember, we only have 6 days to complete these minutes so getting some done everyday is the way to go. We also need to make sure to get some combat related exercises in and some muscles building. Please feel free to post any questions you have either on this thread on pm me. Let's go Team Michonne!!!0

I actually set a reminder alarm on my phone to visit this board so I knew what I'd have to do. Today is when all of our lives change for the better! We are Team Michonne, we are all bad beeyatches (or *kitten* if you're a guy!) and just like Miley Cyrus, we can't stop and we won't stop until we see some victory!
C'MON TEAM MICHONNE! Let's kick some *kitten*!0 -
Louise good for you for taking on weight lifting! I have not took the plunge yet to join a gym but I am still thinking about it, I have visited a few but I just didn't like the atmosphere so I am not sure. My goal is weight loss and losing inches.
Happy Monday!0 -
Good morning Team Michonne. You are starting this week with NO points, because Michonne made no kills last episode. She stabbed the Governor, but Lily killed him. Don't read this if you haven't seen the mid season finale from December:

Well Dazz, seems we have no points! Booooooo, glad you are getting it done. I have no cell phone to set an alarm to. :P I actually had some down time at work this morning, unusual, so I took the opportunity to get in about a 40 minute walk. Less to do tonight. Can't wait for the WD to start back up. SOON! OK now lets kick some butt and and take no prisoners!

I love your attitude Shelley! That is what it is all about, attitude! I think I am going to finish up early at work so I will head home and get in either a weights workout or a kickboxing one! Go Team Michonne!0

ok so we are off to a slow start, but that doesn't matter because I know michonne is going to kick some butt! I made it to the gym today despite being sore and tired from yesterday and did 30 mins of strength training and 30 mins of cardio. I think I will struggle to get in the full amount of cardio this week because I have a busy week ahead but i'll do it somehow, even if it means spending my lunch breaks out walking in the rain!0

Thanks Angi. I actually really enjoy it. I'm sorry i didn't take it up sooner. I have always hated the gym too but strength training is so much better than being bored out of my mind running on the treadmill for an hour.0 -

I just need to know something. How many people are on our team? I need to know who to encourage. And sometimes throw zombies at to be sure they are alert. :blushing:
Shelley0 -
I am buh-RINGING it to the table, y'all!
Elliptical Trainer for 30 minutes, Walking around the park in the freezing cold for 30 minutes, boxing/kickboxing on the punchbag for 20 minutes, Rowing for 30 minutes, 10 push-ups, 50 kettlebell swings, 10 kettlebell clean and presses and 10 pull-ups.
30 + 30 + 20 + 30 = 1 hour and 50 minutes cardio (20 minutes involved combat).
Also, when it comes to weight training, I'm using bodyweight training since that is more effective for weight-loss and it'll also make me a little stronger. I did around 15-20 minutes of bodyweight so let's call it 15 minutes.
So for me: 110/240 minutes of cardio (20/30 minutes involving combat) and 15/90 minutes of strength training.
Zombies ain't gonna know what's hit 'em!

Hey Dazz, :smooched: could I borrow a cup of cardio? :laugh: :laugh:
Well going downstairs to get in some cardio and weight training. Also going to be working on my bench press! Slice........off goes another head! :smokin:
Shelley0 -
Ok today was good. Got in 70 minutes of cardio. 30 was on my treadmill. It has programs and uses an if it card. So lots of hills! Also got in 30 minutes of weight training. Ended with ten reps at 61 pounds and another at 71 pounds on the bench press. I have a bow flex also I can use when I do not have a spotter for my bench. I do not think bow flexes are accurate though. So only for practice.
I am thinking that last 29 pounds are going to be a bit rougher.
Louise try to not get sick walking in the rain.
I work in a courthouse, so there is an area I walk that makes a huge loop. Also got in some stairs.
Shelley0 -
Wow, you guys are amazing!! I went to the gym today and did 50 minutes of strength training but I didn't manage to get my cardio in because i was feeling a little dizzy (I get low blood pressure) so I had to leave to sit down and eat something. Tomorrow I intend on getting the combat training done by doing some kickboxing workouts at home so that will get my cardio up.
The cardio numbers are definitely going to be the hardest to get up!0 -
Dazz, take care of yourself. But you are right, the cardio is going to be tough. Especially for us who work or go to school full time. I got up a little early today. Got on my treadmill for 30 minutes more of hill climbing. Then I walked in my loop at work for 30 more minutes. Also did 18 pushups before work. I think I will try to get a step boxing DVD done tonight. Never know how things will go later. Step boxing is fun. If you like stepping, and boxing, it is great. Constant movement, even has kicking as an added bonus. I need to get some hand weights to ramp it up some more.
Shelley0 -
Hey All! For right now it is just the 4 of us. Dazz, Shelley, Louise and myself, no one else has answered the message or checked in on the board recently, so looks like we are going to be kicking a lot of Zombie A** ourselves!
Great Job on the workouts so far! I am super impressed! At this rate we should have no problems winning the challenge each week!
Just as a suggestion, there is a box at the bottom of the excise log that you can make notes in, I use that to log what I do each day and then keep a running total for the week to make sure I am hitting my numbers. It also makes it really easy on Sat to turn numbers in.
Go Team Michonne.0 -

Thats a great idea. I was thinking that it was going to be painful going back through the week every Saturday to break down strength training minutes and cardio minutes.
On Saturday what do we have to send to you? is it just if we have stayed in our calories, no of minutes strength training and no of minutes cardio? is there anything else?0 -
You'll get the points either way, but if you keep track of the minutes, then Angi will be able to choose MVPs based partially on that. And on board participation, being a motivational presence etc....

Got in another thirty minutes of weight lifting tonight. Let's kill zombies!

20 minutes on Just Dance 2014 and 10 minutes on The Biggest Loser. Both are on the Wii. I didn't really count TBL because I did the easy exercises to see what the game was about and it didn't really make me break a sweat. Today though, I'm going to try a more intense workout on it.
I'm not too sure on how many minutes I've done cardio-wise but I think it's over 2 hours now. I'm off to the gym again for a repeat on what I did before only this time, I'm going to stay longer because I have nothing on today so more time for me.
My plan is that I'm going to have a dance-off with some zombies with Just Dance 2014, then I'll compete in a Last Chance workout against them on The Biggest Loser and then REALLY run them through some tough shizzle in the gym!
Also, Angi, good idea about the notes, I'll start doing that if it makes it easier. Shelley and DouMC (I take it you're Louise but was a little scared I'd get it wrong, hehe), amazing job on those workouts, you're like two girl Terminators or something- A machine full of sass that's unstoppable! Keep at it! 0 -
Dazz, you make me blush!:blushing: :blushing:
So going to have to learn more about the WII games.
Shelley0 -
Morning All! It's going to be a great day to kick some Zombie A*S!! Can't wait to hear what you have all been up to today. So far you have all been doing such an amazing job. Shelley, do you have unlimited energy or what?? LOL, you reported doing more weights at 10pm!! And Louise, I am so proud that you are going to the gym everyday! And Dazz,, WOWEE, not only are you going to the gym but putting in some serious time too! Great Job all of you!

Yup, Im Louise. And thank you! Im new to the whole strength training thing but so far I am really enjoying it so it makes it easy to keep it up.
Everyone is doing amazing. looks like we are going to have a very strong team.
I'm just in the door from work and trying to create the willpower to go and do a kickboxing workout. if it wasn't for this challenge there is no way I would do it but I can't be letting the team down!0 -
I did it! Dougal (my boyfriend) practically had to march me up the stairs to do it (so maybe he is supportive and I shouldn't kick him out for feeding me junk just yet!) because I was feeling so unmotivated. I was hoping to get my 60 minutes of combat training done today but the internet was refusing to co-operate and none of the videos would load so I only got 35 minutes done. :mad:0

So excited to have you! We are a small but motivated group. This is awesome! :drinker:
Louise glad he helped you with the motivation. And you almost kicked him out! :laugh:
Angi I have my own gym. I do go to the YMCA or the city recreation center at times. But there is no need, just like to change it up. Started working out in high school. Actually had an album, complete with flash cards, for my first home workout. Used cans of soup until I could buy weights. My husband even surprised me with a weight bench one year. I took over the basement. It is the woman cave. No couch potatoes allowed in! There is a book case of all my VHS and workout DVD' s. So I have no excuses. Recently added kettlebells. They are fun! So far today I have gotten in a Tae Bo, 30 minute, workout. I will get in another hour tonight. Weights and cardio come to mind. I love Body Pump. But could not make the class. I purchased a number of the instructors DVD' s off of EBay. Now I can do them at home.
Ellis tell us something about yourself.

Shelley, you are amazing!!
I would love to have a home gym but our place is so tiny that I struggle to find room to work out, I definitely have no room for lots of equipment!0
