    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 ;)

    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!!!

    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!

    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.

    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?
