ary sent this out and it seemed to really cover what we need to do for the challenge today!

GARY 6030 - TODAY'S CHALLENGE! Day 4: 40 ZigZag Hops, 3 sets of 21’s, 2 sets of 15 Swimmer’s Press The video for Zig Zag Hops can be found on this website. http://www.sport-fitness-advisor.com/plyometricexercises.html Anything can be used pillows in a row anything. A rope. The object is to hop some distance. A rope would make a line but you need to shoot for further than just the other side. You will go left and then right to = 1 zig zag hop. Remember when landing allow your muscles and not your joints to absorb the impact of the landing. This is a body mechanic as a team we need to start practicing to keep our joints healthy. Any questions let me know!

LADIES!!! OUR WEEK IS NOT OVER!!!! SINCE THIS IS THE LAST WEEK OF THE MONTH, WE GO UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH! (Tuesday so we get a rest day Wednesday!)

This gives us an opportunity... We have not reached our goals for this week... I need you to REPORT if you have not... I do NOT care what you report... just REPORT!!!!

The spreadsheets are at the bottom of this post... CHECK CAREFULLY!!! If I am wrong, PLEASE tell me so! If it is right AND you have not completed something, you can DO IT BEFORE TUESDAY!!!

IF YOU ARE ABLE AND YOU ARE! Do these consecutively. No stopping to rest, don’t break these into sets! I’ve designed this so you can see just how far you’ve come.

From Gary6030 ~~~~

Please tell your team from me how proud I am of each and every person. They really are ROCKSTARS! I'm so proud to be on this journey with them!


Brandy! I can totally see a difference! Look at the line along your left hip, it is so much smoother! Look at that booty.... it is popping! Muscle is certainly there!!! And thighs are certainly smaller! See that shadow along the belly area, it is way less!

YOU ROCK! So proud of you!!! You have earned every bit of that, through sweat, and a few tears!!!!

Well I will post our sheet a bit later, gotta go to school!
