Hi Everyone!

Congrats to the following for completing last week's challenge! :

Sarita :flowerforyou:
Melissa :flowerforyou:


Welcome to all of the new people! It is a new week so let's start a new challenge. We had slowed things down the past couple of weeks to see if we could get participation up and it's working! Activity on the board is starting to pick back up! Don't forget to check out the "new to the workout" section.

This week the goal is to get in 18 miles of cardio! You can walk/jog/run (if you bike just count minutes like the classes) If 16 miles is too much and you are just starting out try for 9 miles. Those of you who love your classes (zumba etc.) let's shoot for 280 minutes of exercise!

New to the workout: 5 Spiderman pushups http://www.usaswimming.org/ViewMiscArticle.aspx?TabId=1597&Alias=Rainbow&Lang=en&mid=6071&ItemId=5061

Also new!!! *** Bonus!! Stay in the green for your food log 6 days this week and earn a bonus flower on the leader board!***

*** if you finished the goals but didn't check back in time -- remember that I collect data on Sunday night turn in your results to be included on the leader board ***

*** I am NOT a doctor consult a physician for clearance if you need to do so! ****

    Welcome everyone. Let's push it for another week. I just walked to the local farmer's market. It is rather hot here in New England so it is always a challenge for me to exercise outdoors. I swam in the gym pool this am and have a training session ( outdoors) this afternoon. Ok I was secretly hoping he would cancel. But I am going.
