    Monday - arms
    4 sets of 12-15
    1. Pec flies
    2. Bar bell curls
    3. Narrow grip bench press - can use 2 dumb bells tight together

    5. Tricep kickbacks

    6. Non-modified Push up max out - tell your team how many you do. Can be done before or after ARM workout as a separate workout

    Weekly challenge - Miles and burns
    With this being the end of the week I am going to challenge everyone to get some mileage in and have some big burns! Monday, and Wednesday will all be days that we record our miles and in return Tuesday/Thursday will be our burn days. The points possible for this challenge are endless! The miles challenge counts for full points on miles that are either walked, run, or you use the elliptical. The distance bikes is counted for HALF THE MILEAGE. That means if you bike 10 miles your team earns 5 points. Partial miles count also so record the full amount! The burn challenge points are divided by 100 of your burn. Therefore, if you burn 1217 your team will earn 12 points. Please make sure you record the full numbers on your burns.

    -Due to the holiday weekend the spreadsheet will not be updated until Tuesday or Wednesday

    Tuesday - create your own tabata workout

    With this being the end of the month I hope you guys are ready for this task. We have done several different type of exercises in different routines. Today you need to create your own tabata style workout. This system is the 20 second exercise followed by 10 second rest. Your work out should have 4 different exercises and go for 8 minutes. Each rotation of the 4 exercises should take 2 minutes. That means 4 complete rotations.
    Ex....
    20 sec exercise 1 - 10 sec rest
    20 sec exercise 2 - 10 sec rest
    20 sec exercise 3 - 10 sec rest
    20 sec exercise 4 - 10 sec rest
    Repeat this 4 times - tell your team what 4 exercises you picked and post in the format above. Remember it is 20 seconds of one exercise with 10 secondary read followed by a different exercise. YOU DO NOT REPEAT THE SAME EXERCISE 4 TIMES AND THEN MOVE TO THE NEXT.

    Report back to your team on what you created for your tabata style workout.

    At a different time test your limits on squats! How many can you complete non-stop? Report back to your team.
