Saturday - repeat Monday's workout
Sunday rest and weigh in0 -
Thanks for all your hard work Belinda!
Since I never voted on Monday, I remember the first month I thought it would be easier to get everything on a daily basis, now I realize that getting it ahead of time might be easier for me, so that I can plan ahead...
I'm thinking it might also be easier for you, since you might not have to worry about it every day... However, whatever works best for you is what really matters. You put so much work into all of this and I truly appreciate all that you do! These challenges of yours has been my greatest motivation to keep going for the last 4 months, even through the depressing moments that I had. Being part of this challenges helps to keep me accountable and honest to my own success.
Thanks again for all your hard work!!!0 -
Monday 2/20 - Create your own workout
Create your own workout from these 12 workout videos. Pick 5 exercises and do 3 sets of 12-15 of each exercise. Report to your captain what 5 exercises that you decided to do. You do not have to pick every exercise in the video you pick. You can decide if you want to focus on one area or create a full body workout.

Weekly challenge:
This week we will have two daily challenges instead of one week long challenge. We will have TWO miles challenges. Your team will get 1 point per mile you walk or run. This should not be counted with a ticker over the span of the day but as a workout. If you bike we will count that distance as 1/3 of the distance. So if you bike 90 miles your team gets 30 points. If you are counting biking distance make sure your captain knows if you already divided the number or if they need to still do that. Eliptical counts the same as walking. Any questions please feel free to ask.
TUESDAY AND SATURDAY distance are what we are counting. The rest of the week you DO NOT track anything for extra points.0 -
