How did YOU do on your personal goals this week? I didn't meet my goals for cardio, but hubby was out of town, so I knew it was gonna be hard.

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
:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Weekly challenge - Miles and burns :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
With this being the end of the month 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.
:bigsmile: Monday, Wednesday and Friday will all be days that we record our MILES. :bigsmile:
:smokin: Tuesday and Thursday will be our BURN days. :smokin:
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.

Ahhhhh...the end of another month is here! And it is at the same time as our weekly questions! So, I think they are all gonna be team/exercise questions -
What was the most positive thing you got from this team? I enjoyed hearing from everyone.
What was lacking? Or what did you need that you didn't get? I would like to like to hear more about everyone, not just report on challenges
What did you think of the level of exercises? Too hard, just right, too easy? I liked them. Good blend of strength & cardio.
What would you like to see more of from our team? Everyone's personal feelings and opinions about our lives in general. It makes us all more connected.
What could you easily skip? (Don't feel bad if you say these questions! ) Burpees
Is there anything I can do more/less of that would help you on your journey? Jackie, you do a wonderful job!:flowerforyou:
And-
How did YOU do on your personal goals this week? I did great with the weekly challenges but fell short on the workout challenges a few days. Sometimes life gets in the way, but when I make a commitment to do something, it bums me out when I don't honor it.
Did you make your month goal? Weight loss was a winner. I lost more than I thought I would.:laugh:
Any NSVs this week? Bought 2 new pairs of skinny pants and didn't have to "pour" myself in them. Looking good!!!0 -
weekend check in updates:
Friday i meet the exercise challenge but i did consume calories in the form of alcohal!
Saturday i did the exercise and didn't consume any calories
Sunday i did extra excercise bc i felt a little heavy and wanted to shake that feeling.
My weight as of Sunday was 189.6 which is a loss of .80 pounds.0 -
What was the most positive thing you got from this team? some of the challenges bc it made me redirect my focus at times and i think i learned alot from that
What was lacking? Or what did you need that you didn't get? some time i think i feel into my routine and i would do the challenge stuff last minute but i did stick to it!
What did you think of the level of exercises? Too hard, just right, too easy? pretty good, their were a few hard ones but overall good (ditto)
What would you like to see more of from our team? sharing, i think each team member should have assinged a challenge for the week. that way we could all get a feel of what the other members do when they work out.
What could you easily skip? (Don't feel bad if you say these questions! )
the daily check ins. kind of hard when you have technical difficulties the mfp phone app only allows you limited access so....
Is there anything I can do more/less of that would help you on your journey?
no i think it was just what i needed to kick it up a notch. i would def do this again.
And-
How did YOU do on your personal goals this week? i did very well i think outside of the one birthday dinner on Friday where i had a cocktail i was on point with the rest of the challenges so i am pround of myself!
Did you make your month goal? i believe my month goal was to lose 3-5 pounds and i think i am right at the cuff but the month is not over until friday so i can still make it if i really try!
Any NSVs this week? i don't know what NSV is but after reading a few other replies looks to be a positive from the challenge. well i think mine would be that i also get multiple compliments from friends, family and coworkers regarding my weight loss. i think one coworker even called me skinny!! i am definitely not skinny... smalller yes but skinny is a bit of a ways away!0 -
Love the challenge for this week......off to make up my workout.... 0

Monday
For my miles I did the elliptical for 43 minutes and had 4.66 miles. Since it is the mile challenge, I chose an elliptical machine that has a shorter stride cos I can move faster on it. I lowered the resistance and used only the stationary handles instead of the back and forth ones. It was all about the miles today. I thought that I was absolutely burning this thing up when I got up to 7 miles. By the end the reading was 7.5 kilometers:ohwell: Joke's on me, huh!
Tabata was swimmers press, skating in place, tricep dips and jumping jacks. I tried to do the bear walk instead od the swimmers press but my dogs refused to get out of the way. In the spirit of picking my battles, I just went to the bedroom, put up the dog gate and did things that required less space.:drinker:0 -
Monday check in: Tabata work out done: toe touches, jumping jacks, swimmer's press, and crunches.
I completed 90 squats.
I walked 3.2 miles this morning.
What was the most positive thing you got from this team? Knowing I'm not the only one that struggles with the challenges.
What was lacking? Or what did you need that you didn't get? More participation...I'm guilty of not checking in on a daily basis.
What did you think of the level of exercises? Too hard, just right, too easy? The exercises were pretty good this time...a few harder than others.
What would you like to see more of from our team? Check ins.
What could you easily skip? (Don't feel bad if you say these questions! ) The water challenge of drinking 100 oz a day!
Is there anything I can do more/less of that would help you on your journey? I appreciate you being a captain, especially with your busy schedule w/the kids & work. You still do a very good job!
And-
How did YOU do on your personal goals this week? I could do better.
Did you make your month goal? I did pretty good in getting back to exercising on a daily basis.
Any NSVs this week? None0
