    Thanks Jennifer for the name of our team. Sorry I misspelled it on the topic heading. DO any of you know how to correct that or if I can delete the Topic.

    It looks like I'm going to need everyone's weights as of the 1st, also your measurements (bust, waist, hips, thighs and biceps) if you want to track those too (bonus points!). You can either message me with yours or post on here if you want.

    here is our challenge for the first week.
    Welcome to the August 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.

    Wednesday 8/1 - 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)

    Complete the three exercises for 1 complete rounds (5 mins) if you are new to this or 2 complete rounds (10 mins) if you are advanced.

    Questions?

    Thursday 8/2 - ARMS

    Everything should be broken up into 3 sets of 10

    Standing Bicep Curls: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=av7-8igSXTs

    Here are the weekly challenge and today's excerise
    Weekly challenge - 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 - arms (10 min video)

    http://www.fitsugar.com/10-Minute-Workout-Sexy-Sculpted-Arms-21620326

    Tuesday - legs
    Wednesday - full body
    Thursday - abs
    Friday - arms
    Saturday - legs

    Hope everyone has a great day, and please remember to post on here or message me the fruits and veggies that you ate as well as once you finished the excerises. Thanks.
