Hi team. I meant to check in yesterday but due to a sick toddler, I was unable to. With that being said.........

Im Christi. I joined this group because I hate to exercise and hoping I will gain a love for it after this challenge. I am a mom to a 2 1/2 year old daughter and wife for 4 yrs. My highest weight has been 214 a few months after having my daughter. The lowest I got down since then has been 181. I am now back up to 185 starting this challenge. My goal is to gain a love/like for exercise as well as get down to 175 before the year is up. I really believe I can do it. I need all the push and motivation from my team members as possible. Please feel free to add me as a friend.

I did not get my water or workout in yesterday that was scheduled. I did get some exercise but not the swimming exercises because I did not have time to watch the videos after work. I am about to do my exercises for today and get back to drinking my water!

I suggested to our leader about posting daily menus and recipes on here to share. I would like to get new ideas. Especially high protein/low carb/low cal ideas for lunch at work, breakfast, etc. If you would like to start that in our group, please let me know.

Again, welcome Vixens. I am glad to join the team! :flowerforyou:

4 got to say, how do i record these 4 exercises as i cant find them on strength training?

femmerides

i have no idea how to record them. i haven't been recording them just because they're all resistance and strength training and the calories on MFP are minimal.

kirstyfromscotland

weigh in today 127.2, i am up a little but its prob due to not getting any workouts in over the weekend apart from my challenges. I am away this thurs till friday the 18th so i will miss the next weigh in. x :bigsmile:

kirstyfromscotland

Divagettinfitin2011

Divagettinfitin2011

What are the challenges this week?

femmerides

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.

just done todays challenge, wow the planks r a killer, i do them on jillian michaels dvds but i had 2 do 2x15!!! i am going to create an exercise and call it vivacious vixens daily challenge so i can record my cals coz today i did it with my hrm on, only burnt 25 cals in the 12 mins but still like to record it. i am finding it easier now to do the full amount of water so i am almost there and i still have my zumba class soon. So on top of the challenge i will b doing 1 hour of zumba and a 3.5 mile power walk, still hot sure if we get points for extra workouts.x :bigsmile:

femmerides

femmerides

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.

kirstyfromscotland
