    Sorry for the delay with the post today. Yesterday I crashed super early and then this morning I have been dealing with a flair up in my leg.
    We only have 4 days of active days left in this challenge. That means it is time to start forming teams again. Look for the post later today on the new month.

    Hi! Thanks for posting both of these. Out of curiosity does swimming count? Just finding out for MonkeyLost :)

    Thanks! x

    Yes, swimming counts. Let me think about how many points per mile.

    Partial miles also count so if you do 1.35 miles report it like that to your captain.

    Belinda,

    I just tried to do the video and it says that it is no longer available due to a copyright claim :-(

    I'll see if I can find another kick boxing video that lasts about 13 minutes?

    I was just about to do it myself, has it been gone all day? Not sure what to do now :frown: I guess I'll look for another video, or do an arm routine, since that was the original plan ???
    I just saw this was answered, I find another video, Thanks Belinda!

    I preferred this second one... but the first one had some good stretches.

    Welcome to the February team challenge!

    Weekly Challenge - 100 OZ of water
    Our weekly challenge is going to be focusing on your water in take. If you manage to reach the 100 oz of water your team earns 1 point. Each team has 5 people and this counts from Wednesday to Saturday of week one....so each team can earn an extra 20 points in week one by focusing on drinking plenty of water all day. This helps you stay hydrated and curbs hunger.

    2/1 - 10 minute Total Body workout
    This workout is one that should only take 10 minutes out of your day and can be done in any place with no equipment.

    1. (1:30) Jump Rope - If you don't have a jump rope air jump rope.
    (30 sec rest)
    2. (1 minute) Plyometric Push - up - This can be do either in modified push up form or normal push up form. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMqPf7TTv2s
    (30 sec rest)
    3. (1 minute) Standing Crunch To Squat - I don't have video of this as a flowing exercise BUT here is a worded instruction and a video on the Standing Crunch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Vd4AoebNmg -- Stand with feet shoulder width apart, hands behind your head, elbows out to sides. Bend from the hips to the right as your bring your right knee toward your elbow (out and up like in video). Return to starting position and repeat with left knee and left elbow. Return to Stating position then do one squat. These three steps count as one rotation.
    (30 sec rest)
    REPEAT 1 time. If you are more advanced repeat twice.

    Questions?

    Hey Belinda!

    I think there is some confusion with the water challenge because you mention staying under in sodium in the second sentence. But it's just the water this week right?

    Thanks,
    Jackie

    Thursday 2/2 -- abs
    Break thes up however you would like but I do want to stress that if you are a begginner do break them up!! The easiest way to break these up is into 5 sets of 10 or 2 sets of 25 but you can totally decide how you want to do it. They need to be done as one workout though. They should not he broken up through the day.
