Burpees..I don't like you right now...

Pokee1

Someone actually requested more jumping jacks! AAAhhhhhh

JoseMedina21

JJ's are really fun. I figure I put it up a notch. I say if I do 125 a day I will be done on time by Saturday. I do sets of 25 between some of my regular work outs to keep it going hard

bobbiedr

I don't mind the jumping jacks. I prefer those to burpees. I was even getting my 7 yr old to do them with me.

i_am_asparagus

I used to hate jumping jacks, but I quite like them now. Burpees however... Damn you Jose! :laugh:

Burpees done!

Curious - Why the team switch ups? Did quite a few people drop out?

Just to let ya'll know - I switched my username from Hoxie25 to 2012Kristin. Thanks!! This weekend is going to be much better than last for me - finally my doctor says I can get some real exercise in!!!

JoseMedina21

Sorry for the confusion with the team changes. We lost a total of 5 people and had to do a re-org of the current teams. I hope everyone is okay with that? If not, I can revert back to original teams and just do percentage base of the points available?

BTW, I think I hate myself now for those burpees :explode: I'm just glad they are over already. I'm beat

Jose

bobbiedr

I'm glad we did the burpees first. I did them in sets of 10, and added jacks in between. But at least they're done!

JoseMedina21

Yeah, luckily the burpees are already done for the week. The other exercises should be pretty exciting to do.

Go Team 1!!! And congrats to everyone for their hard work last week!!!

I definitely can't do the burpees with a broken pinky toe, but Jose sent me some modified ones I will do tonight! Not too sure about those froggy jumps either...we'll see how the toe is doin by the end of the week! haha

P.S. ...Jumping Jacks were popular demand?!? :noway: LoL for extra motivation this song had a good rhythm/timing for me to do my jumping jacks to:

oh you know me, just trying to push everyone to hate me this week I thought they looked pretty good. I haven't tried it yet though :laugh:

JoseMedina21

Thanks everyone! I have logged in. To reduce the amount of confusion (for me mostly) can I ask that you also comment on my status or email me so I wont have to be looking in 4 different places that the challenge was completed

Apryl546

That's why after I posted the weekly challenges I locked the forum so people couldn't post. Makes one less place for them to post about completed challenges.

Tammi, this is awesome. If everyone can update the post like this, it would really help out so much in keeping track of everything.

Thank you Tammi for supplying me the info like this.

Looks like me may be down to 18 people by the end of the week :ohwell: 18 very competitive people at that. The next two weeks of the challenge will be very interesting. Any requests on daily challenges or weekly challenges?

Thursday - 50 Squat with Dumbbell Press

plus 250 jjs, wish I could've push thru my last 50 for the week....


As for the daily/weekly challenges, I love some planks!

How about NO burpees or frog jumps! LOL And I'd like to request that we don't have to do any weekly or daily "miles." I had that in my last challenge, and wasn't able to complete this and I sorta dropped out. I'd like to actually finish this challenge.

Maybe some chest flies? or other stuff with weights? I like weight training, but I don't like anything where jumping is involed because it bothers my knees. Jillian Michaels does a chair squat on her 30 day shred DVD. Those aren't bad. You have to bend your knees as if you were to sit in a chair and then raise your arms up in a V.

Almost there, not looking forward to those frog jumps - oh well I will just treat it like a bandaid, do it quick and get it over with :happy:

Oh and sorry if I don't comment on your wall posts, I am in Australia so usually sleeping when you all are posting and don't always see them!!
