    Me & my boyfriend each did a Walking Dead scratch-off last night during the episode. I won $2! It was cute. These scratch-offs are in Minnesota, does any other states have these right now?

    We have them in New Jersey! My favorite!

    For strength training, I have been doing body weight dependent toning exercises (crunches, bicycles, pushups, etc). I don't have any equipment, so that's how I roll! :)

    Great job to the MVPs! :smile:

    So, WHEN we win this week, is our punishment exercise still going to the be the zombie one? Hope so!

    Has anyone done the Bring Sally Up yet? I think I'm going to do it tomorrow night (sans weights for me, since that's about my level).

    Of those who have done it, they all seem to agree that the punishment video is well worth watching... lol. :wink:

    Hi, I'm really struggling with the punishment workout as I have no abs lol. Does anyone know a way to modify the exercises? I am a total beginner!

    Good morning Beginners! Monday I did my character challenge and half the required cardio. Yesterday I completed my remaining cardio and strength training. Tomorrow night = punishment! I will continue with my cardio for the rest of the week. Let me know if you need any cardio minutes! Keep up the good work everyone!

    I did the punishment this morning, without weights, and wow!! That was a neat exercise, the guy was nice to look at, and my legs are burning! I bet I'll be sore later!

    You could do it with lunges instead if that is better for you.

    Yeah, getting sweaty and sore with a German-accented hottie doesn't sound so bad! o:)

    Last week's Beth video was a good little workout...the Denise Austin one was hard to watch. :neutral_face:

    So while I hated that I had a punishment, it wasn't as horrible as I had built it up in my head. So glad to have this challenge holding me accountable to my exercise commitments. It is also great to have so many positive people to motivate me! So I am at cardio 53/80 and strength 20/45. I should be at or over both by the end of the day. I have done the punishment and will do the Team Carol workout tonight.

    WOW!! I miss a couple days and the team just keeps steamrolling! Great Job everyone. And because I have been such an absentee leader this week - I will do the punishment exercise along with you guys to make up for it. Dont forget to hold me accountable!! :D

    I will be contacting all the no shows from this week and if they dont respond they will be removed from the team and sent to the Horde. Your numbers should be great this week without all the excess. But remember, each team probably lost about half their people the first week, so everyone's numbers will be going up.

    Check in with everyone during the week, help out if you can, ask for help if you need it.

    I'm technically immune from the punishment, but I watched the video and have to at least give it a try. Mmmmm, yummm. I need some strength minutes anyway...

    A little annoyed that cleaning took so long today... Just physically exhausted today so I couldn't workout. The good thing is camping season is over so not leaving weekends anymore until April. Now I can double up on Fridays:)
