    Hi everyone. I have been going back and forth for so long over which team to choose. I have chosen Team Beth. I really like her character right now, and I think she is going to continue to grow stronger this season. I am really looking forward to starting this challenge. I need one right now!

    My name is Shirley, and I am 49. I was on MFP before, lost weight, started gaining it back, and in a weak moment, deactivated my account. So now I am back for a fresh start. I have just started C25k again, and I am looking forward to adding strength training back in the mix. I look forward to working with everyone!

    GO TEAM BETH!!!!!!!

    One more day! I am skipping the super bowl and watching Walking Dead Sunday bowl!! A quick catch up of the entire show! hehe.
    Just want to wish everyone the best of luck and hard work winning this challenge! Just curious, are you all getting your martial arts cardio from videos or from classes? Also, I have kept my macros set on what MFP set for me...is this okay?

    Tomorrow we shall kick booty!

    Yay Team Beth!

    I'm looking forward to this challenge! I piked during the Wizard of Oz challenge as it wasn't motivating me, but I want to make sure I stay motivated so that our team does well!

    Will my pole fitness classes count as strength and cardio mix?

    Yes. It's up to each individual to look at their routines and gauge what they feel is cardio and what is strength and how they plan to count it. Pole dancing is definitely both, so you could split it, maybe 50/50, or just call it one or the other. As long as you don't count it twice. :laugh:

    Remember - Week 1 has some requirements that you will need to send to me -
    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.

    These things will be important in determining overall team winners!! You dont have to do them all but every little bit helps.
    Also, if I havent sent you a friend request by the end of the day, its because I dont see your name on the team list - send me a message and a request so i can get you on the Team Roster.

    Who has their workouts for this week planned to get 180 min of cardio and 90 min of strength training? What kinds of exercises will you be doing? Anything strange or fun you want to share with the team, maybe someone else would like to try it.
  • Posts: 3,902 Member
    Good Morning Team Beth. You are starting this week with no points because Beth made no kills last episode. Do not read this if you didn't watch the mid season finale in December. The good news is that you're alone with Daryl....

  • Hi Team Beth -
    I'm excited to join you! I just scheduled my workouts for the week - strength on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights, and cardio by way of lap swimming in the mornings for 45 minutes on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings. My first weight loss goal is to lose 5 percent - which is right around 11 to 12 pounds for me. For nutrition, my first goal is actually track everything I eat each day for two weeks - hoping to make it an actual habit this time. I haven't watched the first part of this season yet, but I did watch all the other seasons. I plan to catch up soon.

    Youtube - fitness blender has alot of videos that are mostly strength training. Or create your own routines using exercises you like or that target the areas you really want to work on.

    what is the Zombies Run 5k trainer?

    It's a lot like the Couch to 5km, only with zombies. You can get the app for iphone or android. I have the app for android.

    ETA: It starts off as warm up, then 10-15 secs of running, 60 secs of walking (alternating between the two for 10 rounds) and then a free 'run' (which I can never do, I'm spent after the 10 rounds, I'm very out of shape). That's just session 1, week 1. It gets harder as time goes on. You have a narrator telling you what you're training for (e.g. to obtain weapons, run away from zombies...etc).

    Zombies 5K and Zombies, Run! are awesome apps. I never liked to do anything even remotely resembling running before I started using those. Zombies, Run! comes after the 5K. Each run is a mission, and the longer you run, the more supplies you pick up to build your base. It's so motivating! There'll be days when I'm like, "Man, I really don't want to run, but my defense tower needs a new sniper nest. I better do it."

    So my plan is to do 45 min zombie runs on the treadmill four days this week. I also bought the New Rules of Lifting for Women book, so I'm going to do the workouts from that book three days a week. I'm also going to have to find a good kickboxing video on YouTube.

    You all are so inspiring! I was dreading going to the gym tonight, but then I came to this forum, and I'm all excited to work out. Go Team Beth!!

    Does anyone have tips for when sciatica is being a b**ch and you still need to get cardio in? My sciatica is pinching and I can barely walk right now.
  • Posts: 71 Member
    Oh man, back pain is the worst!! I have two herniated discs, and my physical therapist would only have me do some light walking and maybe some cycling on the reclining exercise bike while I was recovering. But listen to your body!! Don't push yourself to do something that will make your pain worse.

    when do you need this by?

    Goals and starting measurements should all be into me by Saturday when you turn in this weeks challenge numbers. If you want to turn them in earlier, I will gladly take them.

    We dont want you to hurt yourself if you are having problems. You can try just doing some strength training until it feels better. Concentrate on areas that dont hurt when you move them. You can always catch up on cardio with a really long walk later in the week if you need are finding you will be short.

    The whole idea is to get healthy while having fun. Dont make yourself do more than you can right now.

    Morning Day 2 of Zombie and calorie and fat killing! Whew, I had trouble climbing out of bed this morning after that first cardio kick class yesterday! Maybe some yoga today and most definately some stretching in order!! I want to thank you all for your posts, and support here! I am loving this place. I took before pics (yuck) and measurements. I saw on the site a forum that has before and after pics on it, but I am unsure how to post pics on here...like in the body of the message..Also...I am having trouble setting goals..how can I make realistic goals? I want to lose weight and get toned, but I think I have to be more precise than that, right?

    I have to go visit my cousin today. She loves to cook, and feed people, and believes that everything is better with a dollup of butter on it. Wish me luck in this great temptation!!!!
