Belinda's November TEAM Challenge

bmfrazie

This workout can be logged as circuit training for those wondering. Good luck today to everyone on our 6 teams!

FYI captains if someone on your team quits you can replace the on your spreadsheet without having to tell me. Please only replace the person because they really quit though. It is up to each captain to find a replacement though if needed.

I am totally using the upper body workout from a challenge I did in September so if you have done Gary's challenges before these should be nothing new. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU WATCH THE VIDEOS THAT GO WITH EACH EXERCISE! Even if you think you know what the exercise it I want to make sure everyone is doing the same thing.

2 Sets of 15 swimmers press, 2 sets of 15 wood chops, 2 sets of 21's and 2 sets of 15 tricep kickbacks

Your team captain should have a team forum set up for you to report back to. If they don't then you just message them saying that you have finished or not.

I can't post the link on my phone but I think I sent you a message with the link yesterday. If not, just hit search and look for vivacious vixens.

Sorry but all spots are filled with current teams. If you want to be a captain you are welcome to start a team 1 day late OR we can keep you on the back up list in case someone has to back out of a team.

Any questions?

Don't forget to get weigh ins on Sunday and turn in your team total to me on Sunday or Monday.

bmfrazie

I am looking for a few people that would be interested in being put on our fall back list when people have to drop out. If you are interested in joining a team please let me know.

Nice name! I know as of yesterday we had three open spots. I will check with our team captains to see if those spots have been filled. If they have I will keep you on my back up list.

WATER DOES NOT COUNT FROM SATURDAY ON....THERE IS NO EXTRA POINTS FOR MONDAY FOR ANYTHING!!! I will annouce the DAILY challenge at random this week.

After having a rest day on Sunday we are going to have a hardCORE Monday.
50 crunches/sit ups
25 righ oblique crunches
25 left oblique crunches
30 bicycle crunches VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L8BIvIu5pU&feature=BFa&list=PL384172C6326E29EF&lf=rellist
35 bridge VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUNiGFvb0qY
30 plank intervals (by this I mean start with arms extended then lower one arm to rest on your forearm and then lower the other so you are in a lower plank. Hold for a few seconds and then raise back up one arm at a time). Each complete revolution counts as one. VIDEO: FIRST ONE SHE DOES!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwmSDIVpDuo


Just like week one you can break these up into a circut of your choice. However, do your best to keep this as one workout. The easiest way to break it up is into 5 sets but you are free to do it as you would like.

If you are wanting to take it up a notch then do this video BEFORE you start your workout.

Wow......I feel it now and haven't started lol

bmfrazie

Don't forget to break these into groups with about 1 minute or less rest in between. It should make it easier than trying to knock out 30 planks all at once.

lunamare

The planks were HARD, but what a great challenge. I skipped my abs at the gym and came home and did these. I just kept telling myself it would be over soon

bmfrazie

Here are the team points:

Flab-u-less = 45 points
Moves_To_Improve = 45 points
Bestest Burners = 44 points
Turkey Trotters = 44 points
Fall's Fab Five = 41 points
Fall's Foxy Femmes = 40 points
Let the Pounds Fall = 35 points
Vivacious Vixens = 33 points

We had a tie for first place and a tie for 3rd place! Just so you guys are aware that Moves_to_Improve had ZERO points from weight change. However, they drank all of the water and did all of the exercises so they managed to pull together enough points to get first.

Congrats to PeachyKeene for being the biggest loser out of the 8 teams/40 participants! Amazing working dropping 4.8 pounds in one week!!!

rjnandjosh

I am ready for the challenge. starting weight 171

bmfrazie

SUPRISE! Tomorrow the bonus points will be earned in the form of calories BURNT! Your team will earn 1 point for every 100 calories that your team earns. If your team burns a total of 5,024 points that is 50 extra points....or if your teams pulls of 906 then your team earns 9 points. The points will be rounded to the closest 100.


The workout for tomorrow will be posted shortly!

bmfrazie

Sorry this is a little late. I almost forgot about posting this with posting the bonus and the week 1 results.

Tuesday =leg day
100 jumping jacks
40 squat kicks (squat then kick right leg kick left leg squat)
1 mile run/walk on top of what you already had planned for the day. If 1 mile is easy make it a 5k
50 toe touches -- feet shoulder width with hands on hip. Bend as waist touch toes and back uo to hands on hips
60 calf raises --- can be done on flat ground. Add weight or a ledge to increase difficulty
10 one leg squats on each leg

Don't forget that your team is also earning bonus points for your TOTAL calorie burn for the day. This includes your full workout and not just what you burn doing this leg workout.

azeria

Ok, I googled all the exercises you have listed that I wasn't too sure of.

The Toe touches seem to be an advanced cheerleading jump... however, it doesn't sound like the way you describe it. I think you are describing that we touch our toes right?
