    I totally can not wait until I am back to MY world. Making all these choices every few hours is wearing!!! The "I am on vacation" is wearing thin with me. I am starting to be weak. The weather has been so cold and raining SO hard you can't go out really. Only have run a few times. My knee is better from that I think, but I NEED to feel the burn girls!!!

    Libby, you are supposed to be on vacation so just do what you can. :)

    Here we go...
    Welcome to the May 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.

    3/2 - 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?

    Happy Friday!
    5/4 - arms
    Here is a great YouTube upper body workout. All you need is a set of weights. If you don't have weights use canned food or other found objects from around your house. The video should ram you about 12 mins.

    Saturday - BURN DAY
    I know most of you love when I give you free days. You can do whatever you want and your team earns more points based off of what type of activity that you decide to do. You will get 1 point per 100 cals burnt. So if you burn 1267 cals then you earned 12.67 points for your team! If you burn 175 cals you have earned 1.75 points. Enjoy your free day and report back to your team how you managed to burn cals today.
