Weekly Challenge starting MONDAY 2/6 - FRUITS AN VEGGIES!! We are suppose to get 5 Fruits and Veggies a day. You can earn 1 point per 5 F/ V that your team consumes. This is for a FULL serving not a partial serving. When you report back to your captain how many fruits and veggies you had you must also list what you had. --- Captains please enter in the total number earned and the sheet will figure out the math for you. If you only enter 1 point for each 5 you will not get your full points. You must add the total daily. You can get unlimited points based off of how many fruits and veggies your team earns. (1 point per 5 consumed)
Monday 2/6 - Total Body (15 min) Complete as many rounds possible in 15 minutes. Allow yourself 30 second rest between each different type of exercise.
Dumbell push up row - x 8
Lying Knee Raised Crunch - x 8 OR clay if moderate x 8 (x12 if advanced)
Overhead Squat - x8
Pull up or Row followed by a Burpee x4 (beginner) x6 if moderate or x 8 if advanced

Friday 2/10 -- 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 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.
- 50 Floor Toe Touch --- http://www.youtube.com/user/ScottHermanFitness#p/c/6979E71ACA9AAC9D/3/QiDNLfNKBYA
- 50 Standing Oblique twist --- http://www.youtube.com/user/ScottHermanFitness#p/c/6979E71ACA9AAC9D/7/I5YbtdqK6g0
- 50 Scissor kicks ---
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWKTmFv76I8
- 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!!!

Weekly Challenge - SODIUM Our weekly challenge for this week is going to be focusing on your sodium. If you stay under on your daily sodium your team earns 1 point. Each team has 5 people and this counts from Monday to Saturday of week three....so each team can earn an extra 30 points this week by watching how much sodium you take in.
2/13 - Monday 15 minute Total Body workout
This workout is one that should only take 15 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 2 time. If you are more advanced repeat three times.
A few votes....would you like me to post the rest of the week? The first month I use to post several days to a week together and people said they liked me posting one day at a time. Any thoughts?0 -

I haven't tried to get it since we've done it before, it's the one where you lay down with your head off the floor, hands under your bum, or out to the side and do a bicycle motion. I hope I remember it right.2/14 - Tuesday - hardCORE
