Team,

Here is Week 1's challenge. As the weeks progress, challenges will be made more difficult. Strap in for the fun ride! :)

Sunday - Weigh yourself and submit weigh to my inbox (easy enough)
Monday - 50 Walking Lunges (25 per leg)
Tuesday - 50 Swimmer Presses
Wednesday - 50 Pushups
Thursday - 50 Triceps Dips
Friday - 50 Concentration Curls (25 per arm)
Saturday - 50 Crunches or situps

Weekly Challenge: 500 Extra jumping jacks

Please do all of these in sets, no need for anyone to get hurt trying to complete each daily task. Listen to your body. It is not a race, after all you have 24 hours to complete. :)

All of these are added on to your normal workout routine. If you are working out a certain muscle group on different days, feel free to add these on to that day and switch around. Also, if you need to modify any of these due to physical ability please do so. Remember, Key is not to hurt yourself trying to do any of these. Use dumbbells or resistance bands for the curls and swimmer presses.

Email me at the end of the day once you have completed each task so I can keep track of everyone's performance.

Thank you all and good luck this upcoming week!

Jose

    I could help out if you still need one more. I'm new to challenges and newish to the MFP site. I'm not sure what would be expected of me but I assume it can't be that hard! :)

    Thanks Pokee, I will post the new teams up. As a team captain, your job is to help motivate your team members and help keep them on track. I, along the help with Apryl, will create the daily and weekly challenges.

    Stay tuned for team breakdowns

    Hey All, the challenges are ready and the three teams have been formed. Let the tough competition begin. Team 3 still needs one more person, either myself or Apryl will join the team to balance it out and give everyone 10 people.

    SCORING!!!! Each team member will be awarded 1 point for completing the daily challenge and 5 points for completing the weekly challenge.

    Best of luck to everyone!

    Great daily challenge list! I guess it would be best to add your team captain. Do we post our weights and challenges done on this board or in a message to JoseMedina21?

    Though if you want to post in here that you did the challenge as well, I don't see the harm in doing so! I know I will also be posting that I did the daily and weekly challenge.

    I hope everyone had a great new years! I played an awesome round of lazer tag last night to get the heart beating fast.

    I won't be on for the rest of the day since I have a roadtrip to do, well actually I'm doing it right now and posting from my phone.

    Goodluck to everyone and starting the new year on a great note! I hope everyone has success keeping up with the challenges.

    I'm glad you've given us more time to submit our starting weights, I think many people have taken a break from logging for Xmas and NY and are only now getting back to it.

    Come on Team 3 Ladies! :happy:
