    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

    Yes we are to try and drink 100oz each day and each day we do we get a point. It ends up being roughly 13 glasses of water each day.
