    Saturday - total body

    3 sets with 12-20 reps depending on ability level (30-60 sec rest). We are doing this as a circut workout so you will do 1 complete set of the 8 exercises before you start the 2nd set. This is designed to work your entire body and have max burn in a short time. You can determine what your ability level is on how many reps you will be doing of each exercise.

    - Jump Rope for 2 minute for starters and 3 min for advance (if you don't have a jump rope air jump like you have one)
    -Crunches
    - Fusion Glide (1 count is doing both right and left side) http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=5SsajHuCEr4&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PL5095738D47309BAE
    - Incline push up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9TocAxv-Qk&NR=1
    - Burpies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DVzT5mqeew (the end of this video show an alternate version of this if you have bad knees) If you think this is easy ad a jumping jack at the end of each burpee
    - Tricep Dips http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKjcgfu44sI
    - Alternating Superman http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-d7akq040w
    - Jumping Jacks 45 - 90 seconds non stop

    Have been struggling with my weight all week. Up and down. Once this week it was 132.... Eeekkkk. Have been really trying to pay attention and get back on track where I have been for the last year and a half. Better toward the end of this week.
    So. My weigh in for the week is....
    129. The same. Which is great. Now I feel better and will work harder now again to get back to 125.

    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!

    I usually enter it as either 'cardio' or 'strength'. It depends on how hard I am breathing afterward. :)
