1. Make sure you are on the list! Any sign ups after midnight Monday Feb 3rd will have to join Team Walker Horde.

2. If you are on the list and have decided you do NOT want to participate, please PM me or your team captain to be removed. Captains will be touching base with all active team members this week to ensure there is no "dead" weight.

3. Go to your team's Walking Dead thread and read the challenge.

Here are some questions that have come up so far. Reply to this post if you have any other questions.

What if I am a team that has two characters like Glenn and Maggie, Tyreese and Sasha or Mika and Lizzie and one of the characters dies and the other survives? Does our team still join the Walker Horde? 
That will be up to your team. It will be put to a vote.

What is considered strength training?
This is up to each individual. Everyone is starting a different level and will have a different routine to get to their goals. Many programs, such as P90x, incorporate both. Any time you are using weights, a resistance band or doing bodyweight exercises like planks that is strength training.

Must I include combat training in my cardio?
No. It is only a recommendation. After all, it is the apocalypse.

Do I have to set my macros?
No. That is only a recommendation and you will get no points for doing so. If you decide to do so. Here's how.

Another question that came up:

What if I get sick or go on holidays? Can I opt out or a week and then come back?
Yes, just message your team captain in advance, so they don't count your absence against your team totals.

Cindy, is the challenge based on six days with Sunday off? Can they swap a Sunday with another day for cardio? Is there a water goal?

1. Yes, there should be a rest day. But they can swap the Sunday for another day if they prefer. I'm sure many people like to workout on the weekends. If they do workout on Sunday, they have to add it into the next weeks totals because everything has already been reported on Saturday. Challenges are posted Mondays. No water goal this time.
