Alright, I'm in on the squat challenge, but I'll be a week behind (no pun intended), I'm going to need a day off to recover after Planksgiving.
Haha, me too. Hubs says I have rug burns on my elbows for all the wrong reasons!I literally have wounds on my elbows, though--plank induced rug burn gone scabby.

I'm in for squat challenge! I'll be behind with maphammonds.
lol-definitely the wrong reasons for rug burn!
Beginners--a call for help. This week I've only managed 64 min of strength and 99 of cardio. I know it's a hard week for every one, but if you have any minutes to spare, I'd really appreciate it. I'm traveling today and won't be able to make up the last bit.0 -
Jule: I might be able to help a little, at least get you to goal on Strength. I will post again later this morning after my workout and let you know. Cardio, not so much, lol.
I didn't get anywhere close to finishing Planksgiving, though I would love to try again. No squat challenge for me. I love squats but doing them even just two days in a row kills my knees. :-(0 -
Jule - I've got you covered on the cardio, when I post, I'll give you 31 minutes.0
-
I ended up with a little more cardio than I expected after adding up all my numbers. Since maphammonds gave you enough to hit your cardio goal, I'll give you 10 minutes of strength (I don't feel like doing maths this morning, lol). You're covered, jule!0
-
Thanks maphammonds and cindyb97!!!! I'll credit you both when reporting tonight.

Squat and lunge challenges are good.0

Double checking all the checkins. I know Ive been out a couple weeks but some of the ppl that are no shows seem a bit unusual. If you forgot to check in - let me know.

Weekly challenge is up. Results will be posted this evening. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1464792/weekly-challenge/p30
-
Scores have been turned in. You actually only had 3 people not report in.
This is the last week - try to make it a great one!! Go all out!!!! I know its the holidays, but incorporating exercise is a great way not to backslide during this month.
Challenge each other!!0 -
I'm sorry guys. I did great with my numbers last week, but as expected had zero way to report in from where we traveled. Its shocking that there are still places in the US without internet access or cell connectivity. I plan to double down this week though and hopefully my shared minutes will make up for things a little bit.0
-
Since this is our last week, I assume we take a break until the season comes back in feb?0
-
I thought there were 2 more weeks. I know last night was the mid-season finale, but the description of this group says it's 9 weeks. Maybe I counted wrong.
Can't wait to see how we did! Go Beginners!!!0 -
I don't like Denise Austin! But I did it in honor of Beth

Hooray, Planksgiving is OVER, and I surprised myself by doing it all the way through (though with some modifications to make plank walks an on-knee exercise)! I did take until today to finish (instead of Nov 30), because I was lazy during my Thanksgiving travels. But I still call it a win.
So, does anyone want to join me in trying a new challenge this week? You do each exercise for 30 seconds at high intensity, then have 10 seconds to get in position for the next, then 30 seconds on the next exercise, rinse and repeat. My husband and I plan to do it 5/7 days a week for the entire month of December. More info here: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/09/the-scientific-7-minute-workout/?_r=0

I made it back! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!
BTW...its really hard catching up on a weeks worth of forum conversations. LOL!
Glad to be back!0 -

I think I will try this.

This is the last week - no more zombie challenge until February.

Hope you like it, tj1376! We are on night #3 and after all my recent work, it actually doesn't seem to bad. On a day I'm not doing other workouts, I could definitely do multiple rounds to get a good sweat on.

All Players
To honour poor Beth and the loss the group feels, do one of her boot camp videos from the first two weeks and remember how brave she was.

Then to honour Robert Kirkman (the big meanie,) do 36 Birthday Burpees for him at some point this week.
punishment was not posted yet, but we didn't win,so you can pick any of the past ones (bring sally up, anyone?!).

This week, I have extra, and if anyone needs any minutes, I can donate up to 67 mins of cardio and 23 min of strength. Just claim it in your post and credit me (I already posted to the scoreboard with a note that beginners can take my extras). I'm paying it forward, since I had two very kind donations last week from others!
0 -
Look at me posting early, lol. I have minutes to share as well. Let me know if you need them. I'll post to the scoreboard after the kids go to bed- I haven't done the burpees yet. As a matter of fact, I've never done a single burpee in my life. So this should be comical. Thankfully my husband is headed out tonight so he won't be here to laugh at me.0
-
Oh I suppose it would be helpful if I said how many extra minutes I have: 85 extra cardio and 20 extra strength.0
-
Thanks @ julebg79, can I have 4 of your strength minutes? I'll include it in my post.
I barely got the minimums in - my 2nd grandbaby arrived yesterday and we've been up at the hospital.0 -
So sad there is no Walking Dead tonight! Thought to myself no reporting I'll just skip today
... But then 
this little voice said you are only hurting yourself! So I pulled out my T25 and fit in a quick workout

Really enjoyed getting to know all of you and reading about your journeys! Such inspiring stories! I am really looking forward to the next round and hope everyone will come back when we start again in early February. Merry Christmas!

Thank you, Cindy, for organizing and running this challenge. It was exactly what I needed to get back on track, and I learned a lot. I really, really appreciate all your hard work and look forward to doing it again in February. Have a great holiday season!
Oh, and thanks to whomever first suggested Bring Sally Up. Just so I can stay in shape until the next challenge, I'll sacrifice and keep doing that workout. You know, so I don't let my teammates down. ;-)

This has been a lot of fun! We even had a few team wins and some good scores! Did I see someone one week get 500+ minutes of cardio??!! Go you!
Not a huge deal, but I'm not sure if the MVPs for this week are correct or transposed with last week. We didn't get a lot of people who posted on the scoreboard this week, but if one of them is the mvp, they may want to have the fun resurrection power for next part of the season
