    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

    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.

    UPS and DOWNS

    http://www.youtube.com/user/sixpackshortcuts?v=bkD9LwDBWW0&feature=pyv&ad=7237549087&kw=exercise

    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

    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

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

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

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

    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.
