September Challenge - Team Amazing Grace (CLOSED GROUP)

Also - Do we still have one space available on this team? One of my friends wants on, if we do!!
@cath - I've been counting four jumps (the whole box) as one globe jump. I thought one of the threads specified that, but I could be wrong. If it's each individual jump counts as 1, then 50 would still be hard but might be doable, at least! That would only be 12.5 times around!0 -
Yes, you guys... I'm having a hard time with them too.... so I'm glad to know it's not just me. I started out doing the 4 jumps around to equal "one", but I agree with you - it makes more sense to count each one.... I'll check with Gary and make sure. I'll post it here tomorrow as soon as I know.
Also, yes, we have one more opening on our team!! Have your friend come and introduce herself and "friend" us all!!! Yippee!!0 -

Yay! I'll let her know!!0 -
Hello all!!! I am SarahRuth's friend who wanted to join, and I am so excited that there was one spot open!!! Is there something special I need to to to be accepted into the group, other than friending everyone?? There isn't any hazing involved right? LOL
Anywho....I do have a quick question....there are 4 days planned out in the work out descriptions, with day 4 as a rest day...then on the 5th day, does it start back at day 1 exercises?? That's the only thing I'm not 100% clear on.
I look forward to 'meeting' all of you, and getting my motivation back!!!

Yay!! You're here!!!
There is new thread posted each week with new daily challenges, and they get progressively harder throughout the month. I believe there are only four right now because the week starts on Monday and we just finished up August today. So a new thread should go up Sunday for the next weeks challenges! Exercises 6 days with Sunday being a rest day. But if something legitimately gets in your way and you can't do the workout, you can make it up on another day and move your rest day to another day. As long as you post to let amazing_grace know what you did so she can check it off.

Just wanted to let you all know that I tried to add everyone that I saw on here so far, but that was last night, and now I don't remember who I added and who I didn't LOL. (The site will only let me add so many people in a span of 10 mins), so if I didn't add you, and you see that I didn't add you, please add me!! Otherwise, I'll just add as I go from here on out.
I'm beyond excited to start today. I've been lacking motivation, and this is exactly what I need. I won't let you guys down!!!0 -

I was just coming in here to ask this!! Do we have a new one? Who made the August one??0 -
Ok, so I'm just about to do the daily challenge, but I wasn't sure what some of the exercises were, so I watched the youtube videos to see the demonstration. I got to the wood chop video....and does anyone else think that they were zoomed in on the woman's body too much, and it didn't show form at all. I mean....I get how to do it, I just thought it was a little like 'one of these videos is not like the others' LOL...anywho off I go....I'm doing the advanced ones by the way!0

FOR GLOBE JUMPS........ each jump is counted as one. So to go all 4 corners around is considered 4 jumps!! Also, if you are having trouble doing globe jumps - do the squat kicks instead.
Also, the new banner is coming!!!

Had to walk my daughter to the school for her open house today, and then we had to walk back home, of course. 2.2 miles each way, plus a mile of walking at work = 5.4 miles of walking today!!! Then I did the challenge exercises when I got home.
So...
50 squat kicks, 50 jumping jacks, 50 crunches, 50 mountain climbers, 50 wood chops, and 50 globe jumps -- Done.
Under calories, and something like 12-13 glasses of water.
Even had room for a couple glasses of wine, which I am enjoying now before bed...
So, is this called the "Kick the Crap out of September" challenge???
And those globe jumps are the devil, aren't they? Good way to put it, Melissa! I hate them, they look like they should be so easy but they are such torture. Though doing 50 was much easier when you can count each jump, I was counting each whole square as one globe jump before! I couldn't imagine trying to do 50 of those!0 -
@cath... wow, you are a go-getter! Lol. You guys are making me look bad doing the basic today... haha. I plan to mix them up a bit, but had too much going on today! Have a great night all!0

Hey all,
Recovering from being sick so I only did the basic 50 jumping Jacks, 30 squat kicks plus I'm squeezing in 50 crunches. Came in under calories and drank 98 ozs of water Not sure who all I am missing so please feel free to shoot me a friend request.
Btw, where do we track the exercises? or would it be in general?0 -
Logged the jumping jacks but ca't figure out the squat kicks. I still have a lot to learn about MFP.0

All goals were met for 9/1/20110

@sbrown - unless you have a heart rate monitor (HRM) its hard to track them. You can log under circuit training, general, but I think it gives way too many calories burned when I compare it to my HRM. Does anyone else have any suggestions?
Also, eats_with_a_fist made our august banner. He said his computer is down so he can't get to our September banner right now. Hopefully soon. Does anyone else know how to do that?0 -
Oh! I forgot to post here what I did yesterday. Ooops!!! Let's see, I was under calories, by a lot actually, but didn't want to eat right before bed. 9 glasses of water, 35 minutes cardio, 30 squat kicks (not sure how to log those), and 50 jumping jacks. No class on campus today, but I have tons of homework and research to do on cars, so I plan to get my butt out there and run early, before it gets to warm. Have a GREAT day, everyone!0
-
@Cath - I totally missed where you said you did all the exercises in one day!! Are you crazy?!?! LOL! That's awesome! Go you!!
@amazing_grace - my daughter does graphics. I'm sure she'll make one for us if we need her to. Just let me know. She could whip out a banner in no time. Also, can we get an updated list of team members? I think people have joined and dropped since you first posted it. Wanna make sure I got everyone on my friends!0 -
@sbrown, I log mine as calisthenics (push ups, sit ups, vigorous). It gave me 111 calories for 11 minutes last night. Not sure if that is accurate or not, but I don't usually eat them all back so I don't worry about it much.0
