    I wasn't planning on taking part in this mini challenge because I am focusing on building muscle so I was going to cut back on cardio but I have actually done 240 mins which I am very surprised at! I also got in the 90 mins of strength training.

    I definately did all of the 300 min of cardio last week. Does carrying shopping bags count as strength? If so I got that in too, if not....well I will do better this week.

    I need to work on my legs. Sounds like I need a squat/lunge challenge.

    well this week was crap for me. but it starts a new week. I'm going to be kicking butt, just not today because I have to get to crowns done :cry: but I'm going to do some arm weights in a bit before I head to the dentist. I also hit my 40lb mark. I am 41lbs lighter. woo hoo. so tomorrow I hope I'm not in any more pain I'll be kicking some butt and pushing my self a bit harder and upping my work outs even more.


    TJ I'm doing the 30 square challenge every day I do more and more, I can send you the link of what I do if you would like.

    Last week I managed more than 300 of cardio but only 45 of strength.

    I'd be up for a strength challenge this week!

    I got the cardio but not the strength last week as well.

    Any idea for challenges this week? A strength challenge sounds good.

    Something that will work arms or abs sounds good to me.

    This week I am determined to do:

    150 calf raises
    50 pushups
    150 crunches
    100 bow and arrows

    300 min of cardio - at least 30 of it has to be jogging/running.

    Who else has a goal for this week?

    Your awesome TJ! I am in for going to crossfit at least 4 days this week, and running 10 miles.

    Day 1- Crossfit - DONE! YAY

    Last week was awful with my stomach. I am feeling so much better this week! Where has everyone been? Let's chat peeps!

    Great plan TJ! :drinker:

    Good luck with crossfit, Angi! :drinker:

    My plan for this week is to do the 30 day shred as many days as possible, strength training three times, kick boxing, stretching and run my dog at least every second day.

    Today I ran my dog for 20 minutes and popped him over some jumps and the seesaw too. I did 30 minutes of strength training. Started the 30 day shred and did Fitness Blender stretching afterwards.

    Thanks Angi. :)

    Yeah, I know Skittles, I miss this challenge.

    Yesterday was kickboxing, 30DS and walking.

    Today is strength training, 30DS and running my dog.

    Have a great day everyone!

    Today I did crossfit.

    Day 3- Crossfit- DONE!

    I have not done any running this week, except at crossfit. But my Plantar Fasciitis is killing me so I might not achieve the 10 miles I was going for.

    Happy Wednesday Everyone!

    Yay Angi! :drinker:

    Maybe you should give the running a miss this week. You need to rest your foot and you are killing it at crossfit!

    Yesterday I did strength training, 30ds and loads of walking.

    I need a challenge. I just can't seem to get myself motivated to raise the bar. I am happy doing long walks with strength training thrown in randomly. As soon as my final grades are in, I am going to have to get myself back on a plan. /rant

    I missed crossfit today and am seriously bummed about it! I feel like an addict!!! HAHAHAHAHA,(really I do) But my foot was killing me when I got up, not to mention the rest of my body, so I took the day off and have been rolling my foot on a frozen water bottle all day!!!!! AHHHHHH the relief! I might skip tomorrow too and let it heal a little. (MAYBE NOT) LOL


    We are having all our girls, 2 of the boyfriends and the granddaughter all meet us in Orlando this weekend to chill out! YAY, I am so excited.

    Well - I forgot to do about half of the challenge I set for myself last week. So I will try again this week. I did get all the cardio in, just none of the strength training.

    100 - Curtsy Lunges
    100 - Cruches
    50 - Pushups
    100 - Jumping Jacks
    50 - Crazy 8's

    300 Min Cardio

    Thats the plan this week - Hopefully I dont forget again.

    I MISS TEAM CAROL! I've been busy at my daughter's school and slacking like crazy! Today I am refocusing. To start I hit both workout classes I like at the gym today and then picked my son up from the bus stop on his tandem bike so I got a quick bike ride in! 125 mins done!

    Or challenge in my pilates class is 21 pushups. 3 sets of 7 everyday. So I'm doing that. But I like planks too so I think I'll stick with 4 days of 3 min planks.

    Good Luck with those planks!!!! I hate them so much I am actively avoiding putting them in my routine.

    If you had to choose between planks and burpees, which would it be?? LOL.




    I would plank.

    I was just checking back to see when the next season starts and found that a bunch of you are still here. What days do your mini-challenges run from?

    I got to tell you all... I joined this group for the challenge and I had never watched the show. I just finished watching seasons 1-3 on netflix and was able to catch the first part of season 4 on dvr during our challenge for part 2. I am completely addicted now and can't wait for the next season. Last night I actually dream't that I was part of the show:noway: I might have to change teams next round though now that I know the characters. I'm a big fan of Daryl and Michonne.

    Angimom, Planks.... all day, everyday, no doubt about it, Planks!

    I agree, Burpees SUCK! All day everyday they SUCK! LOL. That is exactly why I make myself do them though!

    AND...........


    I think all menus should come with how many burpees it would take to burn this off

    Cheeseburger................456 burpees!
    Hamburger.....................410 burpees!

    HAHAHAHAHA

    Dreaming of the show is the first sign of addiction...but its a good addiction.

    My challenges start sundays and run thru saturday.

    I know, right??!! What happened to tv series running Sept - May? Now they don't start until well into fall, end in early spring and take a 'winter' hiatus! grumble, grumble!

    and agreed...burpees suck and planks a just a simdgeon better, but I'm challenging myself to increase from a 30 second plank to a 60 second plank by the end of next week....we shall see :)
