Weekly challenge - do not drink your calories! You can earn 2 points per day for not drinking calories at all. That means each person can earn 12 points for the week for their team.

HI Amy
I'm not sure, but my guess would say it counts a calories. You might post this question on the Exercise and weekly challenge thread to get clarification?

8/20 hectic day with first day of school so didn't exercise, but didn't drink calories.

Come on team, we can do this. :-)

Happy Sunday, hope everyone is doing well. Sorry haven't been on much, really rough week. Kid trouble. I'm emotional eating, not exercising, ugh. Same ol stuff. I know what to do, but don't do it. It's all mental, why can't I do this?? Didn't gain, didn't lose. My daily results aren't good...
Tues, Wed, Thurs, no exercise, but didn't drink calories
Fri, Sat - no exercise, drank beer.
Sorry I'm letting you guys down :-( And so proud y'all are sticking with it, way to go.
I think Belinda has been traveling, so hasn't posted any results.

Welcome to the last week of August! Congrats to everyone that has stuck it out for this far. We only have 5 challenges left. This week we will test your strength and creativity.

Monday - create your own tabata workout

With this being the end of the month I hope you guys are ready for this task. We have done several different type of exercises in different routines. Today you need to create your own tabata style workout. This system is the 20 second exercise followed by 10 second rest. Your work out should have 4 different exercises and go for 8 minutes. Each rotation of the 4 exercises should take 2 minutes. That means 4 complete rotations.
Ex....
20 sec exercise 1 - 10 sec rest
20 sec exercise 2 - 10 sec rest
20 sec exercise 3 - 10 sec rest
20 sec exercise 4 - 10 sec rest
Repeat this 4 times - tell your team what 4 exercises you picked and post in the format above. Remember it is 20 seconds of one exercise with 10 secondary read followed by a different exercise. YOU DO NOT REPEAT THE SAME EXERCISE 4 TIMES AND THEN MOVE TO THE NEXT.

Report back to your team on what you created for your tabata style workout.

At a different time test your limits on squats! How many can you complete non-stop? Report back to your team

Weekly challenge - Miles and burns
With this being the end of the week I am going to challenge everyone to get some mileage in! August has been a tough month for weight for most of us and hopefully this will help you blast past your old weight.
Monday, Wednesday and Friday will all be days that we record our miles and in return Tuesday and Thursday will be our burn days.
The points possible for this challenge are endless! The miles challenge counts for full points on miles that are either walked, run, or you use the elliptical. The distance bikes is counted for HALF THE MILEAGE. That means is you bike 10 miles your team earns 5 points. Partial miles count also so record the full amount!
The burn challenge points are divided by 100 of your burn. Therefore, if you burn 1217 your team will earn 12 points. Make sure you post the entire calorie burn and not just the points earned.

Snap to it!
