This equals about 200 per team for crunches and jumping jacks for the week along with an extra 5 miles for each team member! The Last part of the team weekly challenge is solicit a friend or family member to join MFP and begin the next month’s journey with you. Inspire others that’s easy. The retire portion of the week is about looking back at the past 30 days. You have had to retire many old habits, many excuses and reasons why not to exercise. It’s time to retire those and move forward to the new you! YOU ARE MY INSPIRATIONS! Keep it up as we INSPIRE our circle of influence and RETIRE the old ways! Go Inspirations Go!

    I'm soooo proud you are all kicking some serious booty this week!!! WOO HOO!!!! Look at all the pounds lost!!!

    Anina, Gary is away today dealing with personal matters so sorry I can't get a clarification on the windshield wipers yet. I believe them to be where you are on your back and alternate lowering each leg down and back up again to the side. Like in this video, but will have to wait for confirmation from Gary:

    I'll do 500 crunches, no jumping jacks (sorry, guys, these kiiiiill my knees), and I'll say 6 miles since last time I barely got them all in. I'll try to recruit an MFP member but no guarantees. I don't really know anyone who WANTS to count calories, ha.

    Bugger! I just got back from a run and saw this! I attempted the wipers prior to heading out and with some help from my mate did an alternate form of the below.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvN7uGX5QP4

    4 sets of 10 = 20 reps > Windshield wipers: I didn't have my legs straight the entire time, was bent at the knees and kept them at hip level...it was a "cow" of an exercise...
    3 sets of 21 > 8kg
    2 sets of 10 swimmer's presses >7kg
    200 crunches - alternating between reverse and originals

    Oh my goodness.... check out this video on Inverted Windshield Wipers

    http://www.weighttraining.com/exercises/inverted-windshield-wiper (not the easier alternative)

    This, however, appears to be a much gentler version...
    The Yoga Windshield Wiper Pose (but there's actually movement)
    http://www.ehow.com/video_2351438_windshield-wiper-yoga-pose.html

    and the yoga windshield wiper looks like it's easier on the back. :happy:

    Thanks for posting this Cheryl... boy I sure would like to date a guy who could do those first ones.

    Everyone I'm worried about Gary. Please keep him in your prayers tonight. He hasn't been back since he posted the following yesterday. Just keep him in your prayers please.

    Gary6030 Folks I'm having a major life interruption. I will be back on later this evening to answer messages or tomorrow afternoon. Those of you that pray please pray for me. It's nothing serious but its major mess!
