As for indoors, I'd be careful about using makeshift steps. I don't want you to hurt yourself on something unsteady. If you just want a single step (like with step aerobics), there is something you should have that would be pretty stable. If your bed has a box spring, just push the mattress back about a foot. Then you can step up onto the box spring and if you fall, the mattress is there to catch you. Of course, do be careful if your bedroom has a low ceiling. ;-) I tried this on mine and it works great!
That would probably make a funny video. *getting in bed, nope, getting in bed, nope, getting in bed, nope....*
last time I was using a milk crate until I measured it :noway: Then I swiped my kids potty step and was in stairsteppin' heaven.0 -
Will the 1st week's results be posted?
Yes...I spoke with Athenawho who is completing the results....she will be posting later this afternoon!!! Everyone did so great!
on real life stairs most people place one foot on one step and push up to the next one, so count each step as 1.
on an aerobic step, potty step (lol), cinder block it's left up, right up, left down, right down,1
on a little step like wii it's gonna be a 4:1 ratio - so do the steps and then divide by 4.
Thanks Jenny....Absolutely Correct!!!!:flowerforyou:0 -
Week 7 Results.
I want to tell everyone great job this week, I can see the hard work! If you don’t see it, just remember there are so many unhealthy people in this world who don’t take the first step, and both teams together have taken over 3,000,000 steps this week!
Ranged-
Total Team Weight loss: 33.6 lbs or .77%
Total Miles: 519.81 or 95%
Total Airplanes: 1067 or 121%
Explosives -
Total Team Weight loss: 36.6 or .87%
Total Miles: 388.67 or 71%
Total Airplanes: 1702 or 193%
I believe that makes Explosives the winners this week with .1% higher weight loss and 76% higher in Airplanes, although Ranged dominated the miles!

:explode: WEEK 9 CHALLENGE (9/5-9/11)
*********************************************
It was a long way down…but you did it! You’ve reached the bottom floor of the bunker. The bunker is surprisingly bigger than it looks. The light of the flare is now burning out, causing more darkness in some sections.
You start looking around, attempting to get your bearings. You’re facing an extremely large wall of shelves. You try to do your part in finding supplies that you and your teammates may need going forward. You jump up to search the higher shelves…you get down low to search the lower shelves…you find many items that you want to take with you in your pack.
You hear TAMEKO2 in one of the far ends of the bunker holler out “I found some canned food and jugs of water over here”…several of you rush over to help her divide the supplies evenly. Down in the other end of the bunker, JENNYISBUSY calls out…”I’m gonna need some help over here”…
When you head over to make sure she’s ok, you see what’s she’s talking about. You are staring at what seems to be a make-shift radio. There are different pieces on the shelves and you know if you can just get them together, you may get it to work again! It won’t be easy, but you’ve travelled so far and know that you have to try everything possible to find safety. The radio will provide that hope...will there be any other survivors trying to communicate through the radio? A possibility of rescue? You know you’ve got to get the radio working. You and the others divvy up the radio parts to work on when you can get back above ground.
Having rejuvenated your supplies and spirits, you’re ready to make your way out of this bunker to that hope of safety. The only way out is UP. You begin to make the climb back to the surface….
***************************
:explode: CHALLENGE SUMMARY
***************************
To Make 100% Of This Challenge:
-30 BURPEES (To Look On The High & Low Shelves)
-500 MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS (To Climb Back Out Of The Bunker)
-DRINK 400oz OF WATER (Because you found food and water)
-COMMUNICATE WITH 3 TEAMMATES VIA PERSONAL MESSAGE (Because you have to get the radio communication working)

Burpees
Do these at whatever intensity you can. This is an example of higher intensity with a jump:

Mountain Climbers
Each leg counts as a count of 1. (LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT = 6)
Try the original version first, its a better workout.
If the original is too much intensity for you, try the modified version…standing mountain climbers:

Congratulations to everyone!
We've lost a few more people, sadly but if we don't hear from you in 2 weeks, you're dropped.
Also, I want to say great job to my injured players this week, you really didn't let a thing like pain get in the way! We adjusted the challenge to fit your physical abilities for the week and I will continue to do it as long as you need me to, its the people like you who inspire me!
FINAL NOTES:
If you are seeing zeros, its because you didn't tell us everything.
I'm NOT going to go trolling the threads looking for your numbers, you'll have to message me your totals.
...and...
IF YOU ARE INJURED or get injured, contact your Captain ASAP, we can work something out!
Again great job, everyone!0 -
