I'm up for more challenges! The walk felt so good yesterday, I walked to work today (in the rain!!).

I wish I could walk to work, but it takes me an hour to drive to work, so it would take all day to walk to work....

Mine is an hour and ten minutes, I feel ya.

I will add daddyzgrrl28 to the team.

Thanks! I'll have her request you and send you her starting weight and goals

I added her as my friend.

We still have room for at least one more!!!

How do we post that we did sit-ups. Not that I've done them yet, but I noticed they're not in Cardio, so they don't pop up on your profile. Do we just post it in strength training and tell you that we've done them?

Maybe Calisthenics

I found sit ups in cardio.

what are ups and downs?

UPS and DOWNS

The very first part of this exercise is the up and downs. They may be modified by simply starting on all 4's and then standing up quickly and returning to this position to all 4's. This is a cardio exercise! Don't be freaked out but all he is doing just do the first part and modify if needed.

REMEMBER ITS THE VERY FIRST THING HE DOES ON THE FLOOR that's it! Unless you are a real rockstar then finish it out if you can. It's a crazy exercise. Be ready for great exercises you can do at home without anything!

How is everyone doing with the challenge so far?

I feel like we aren't talking very much on this topic!

I'm excited for my ups and downs after work tonight... I've never done them before!

I agree. I think we use our news feeds so much, the problem is I miss a lot that way. I still think we need to challenge another team. I know of a few team captains we can challenge. Anyone want to do this? What do we want to challenge them?

I can't wait to try the up and downs but for those people (like me) who don't have hrm's how do we track these because they are not on the exercise list

Good question. I don't have one either...

Gary said that he would put them as "Aerobic High Impact" for as long as you did them... and he also said they'd be returning in the competition, so I hope you all like them!

NOTICE :

We are going to announce a modification later today regarding some important changes in the team scoring. After much thought and consideration we've decided to move towards a percentage based challenge. These changes are to accomodate those teams who have lost team members. The % will make this fair across the board. I want to especially thank all of those who have helped with this process especially jitteryspork. She has modified my old sheet and created a new point sheet. I will be emailing it later today once we're sure its set. Thank you for your understanding I believe this will provide for better results and make all teams equal. Thanks! UNLEASH THE BEAST WITHIN!

I'm so down to challenge another team. I'm not sure who is on what teamso I didn't know if I had any friends onanother team. But I'm down for whatever team you choose

wvualum

I know I am friends with the captain of Saints and Slimmers, what should we challenge them?

hypotrochoid

Oh, BRING IT! Do we have to be friends with another team or could we just randomly pick one and put the smack down?

I'm noting all my challenges in the exercise notes if there isn't a clear option to pick.

wvualum

I think we should just troll their boards and issue a challenge and talk a little trash.

What about 50 belt kicks?
or
15 push up jacks(these are brutal)

They are squats with a front kick. I'll look for a youtube video of them when I get home from work. No youtube here.

hypotrochoid

Ooo... Belt kicks are brutal. We should challenge them to 25 of 'em.

Sounds good to me. I hope I can move by the end of the week. Lol

hypotrochoid

I misread what nb9251 said... I guess 15 was for the evil push up jacks... So should we do 50 of the belt kicks? Or should we keep it in the 100 range just to prove that we mean business?

Isawau

ok so just did my up/downs set of 10 with 20 jj in between and after i did 2 sets of 25 mountainclimbers with 20 jj in between and after i did 25 crunches and 25 sit ups i guess i have to do another 50 mountainclimber lol

Isawau

so i'm really sweaty now lol did another 2 sets of 25 mountainclimbers with 20 jj in between hope I'm done now!!!

Isawau

oh and i burned 95 cal in 13:45 all together

nb9251

Damn whose bright idea was it to double the mountainclumbers!? I just did 50 and I'm dying. WEll off to commit suicide as I go do another 50. Sheesh

hypotrochoid

I'm sorry. *hangs head*

nb9251

I'm sorry. *hangs head*

Lol. Well at least I can poke my chest out now and say "I did 100 mountain climbers today." Now that I'm done I appreciate that. Lol. And why don't we challenge 50 belt kicks and let them up it to 100. I really don't wanna be doing 150 belt kicks. Lol.
