Ok so here it is. I want everyone who competes in our challenges to find their heart rate on the chart. We all have been working out at a good clip so this shouldn't be so hard. The challenge is to stay between 50-85% with our heart rate for at least 30 minutes straight 5 days this week. Plus 100 jumping jacks!

I also believe what jillian says on 30 day shred. She has 400 pound men doing jumping jacks anyone can do them.

I believe in every single one of us. We have done so great at this challenge and we all have become very close.

I don't think that this challenge is so difficult but it's the challenge to make yourself work when you don't want to.

Hope everyone doesn't hate me at the end of this.

    Great challenge!

    I'm definitely in. This is actually perfect for me.

    Every time I don't wanna work out I'll just tell myself "Sam says I have to" and I will.

    That shouldn't be too hard since I am going to Spin class at least 3 times a week! Although I think that I usually go over where I am supposed to be. Darn high HR!

    Ugh, I hate jumping jacks... but we usually have to do them at sqdn PT so I guess I can suck it up and do a few more!

    Well you took my water challenge and I failed at it so I had to come up with something else. Also I am good for this one.

    This is why I don't offer to do a challenge. I don't want anybody to hate me for a week. :laugh: Just kidding, Sam.

    I failed the water challenge so badly. I'll try this one. When I do the elliptical, my heart rate is usually between 130-150. I just don't always work out 5 days a week.

    good then I did something right. we all need a push. If we are working out 3 days a week then 2 more days can't be that bad. right?

    Is that 100 jumping jacks a day?? I don't have a HRM so what then? All I do it walk at this time. I know I get my HR up but no clue. I can't remember how many seconds that you check your pulse to get to the number I need. Is it 10 sec???

    (Raising my hand in the back of the class:laugh: ) I have a question lol. I also have a knee injury and cant do jumping jacks because of the high impact on the joints. Staying within my HR zone for at least 30 mins 5 days a week wont be a problem because I already do that 6 days a week:happy: BUT...is there a lower impact alternative for those of us that cant do the JJ's?:blushing: Wow! What a challenge Sam!:drinker: Gooooood on us!:drinker:

    okay, yeah, but 400 pound men haven't pushed nine watermelons out of their grapefruit sized kegel regions-- if you're getting my imagery, thus forcing them to need a bloomin' diaper when they're doing their jumping jacks.

    I'm good on the 5 days, Lord willing, but have to take a pass on the jumping jacks. My dignity simply will not permit it. :wink:

    Actually, as I think of it. I will need to pass on the jumping jacks because of a recent knee injury - I have to wear a brace to do any exercise these days - jumping bouncing are out.

    There is a low impact version of jumping jacks, but it doesn't really do much for me.

    Can I substitute 100 crunches? I need this and might be able to do - will be a challenge!

    Jumping jacks, no problem. Heart rate, problem. I don't have a HRM or even a watch with a second hand and all the clocks in the house are digital. I would go buy a cheap stop watch or something, but the town that I'm in everyday doesn't have a store that sells that kind of stuff. But I've been working out hard so I know it's getting up there.

    OK so here is the alternative to the jumping jacks. Get in a squat position and do punches for 1 minute. Jillian says this is good if you have lower body injuries.

    Okay Sam, good challenge. Jumping Jacks, no problem and I will look for a HRM at Wal-mart or somewhere tomorrow.

    I passed the water challenge with flying colors, but being a fish it was no challenge for me. However, this will tell how much my dh knows about drinking water. I told him I had to drink at least half my weight in water so he comes back and tells me I need to drink 1,368 ounces per day! :noway: I am like WHAT and he says 171 lbs divided my 2 = 85.5 * 16 oz (in a pound). That would be 1,368 ounces of water and I am like I would be dead. :laugh:

    Yeah, yeah, yeah-- this is good-- great alternative!!

    How's this for kooky-- I've been doing tae-bo, turbo-jam 3-4 times a week, 45 minute sessions, right? No worries, no problems, no pain. I WALKED the past two days and my hip is so sore I can't move!!

    Old age-- gotta love it.
