Already week three!

Wow, how tme flies. I hope everyone is having a good week and a great last chance workout today. Speaking of workouts its time for a challenge to get the blood flowing. We have covered the basics, we understand the importance of drinking our water. We understand the importance of weighing and measuring our food. So now we are hydrated and eating right. Lets work out. When it comes to excersise specific challenges we havnt done squat. So guess what we are doing?....That's right, Squats!
Now I know we are all at different fitness levels so I don't want to set a "Number" of required squats, but I will set a time frame. 5 minuetes people. Everyday, 5 minuetes of squats. Lets see how many you can do! Brag about your amazing squat number if you want. In fact, I will challenge any one of you monkeys to outsquat the batman. Mahahahaha.

*Note- If you have a medical situation that limits your ability for squating you may sub a 5 min extension to your workout routine. "I don't like them. or" it's too hard" does not qualify as a medical condtion. Just do your best for 5 mins.

For anyone who does not know how to do a squat, please see the link below.

    When I was pulled into the office I was at a loss of what to do about my exercise. I work from home and can throw in an hour any time I want.

    So I would do squats while I waited for the fax, my copies, the printer OH yeah and the bathroom. With all the water I drink I did bathroom breaks every 30-45 minutes. Used to do 1 minute of squats each time I went in there.

    Man my butt looked good:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Thanks Andrew.......this is a GREAT challenge!!! :smooched:

    Dude! 5 freaking minutes of squats!?! Are you insane? :wink: ......sorry, had to get out what I was thinking. You know me, I'm into the exercise stuff and I think 5 minutes is nutso! (Plus, you guessed, it, I do hate squats!)

    However.... regardless of my stance on the dreaded squats. I do think 5 minutes is a lot. 1 minute seems like a good challenge, 2 minutes seems reasonable.

    We did stations in a Cardio Pump class one day, 1 minute stations, 1 minute doing wall squats with a ball and my legs were shaking, but I was obviously pumping them out to the beat of the music and moving it fast. 5 minutes? For real? :sad:

    I don't ever time my squats when I do them with weights, I do 12 reps and 3 or 4 sets. I really doubt each set takes more than 30 seconds though.

    Legs are my focus in the new year... but 5 mintues........Awwww, your killin' me man! :grumble:

    Love you Andrew! :tongue: By the way, when I'm so sore from doing 5 mintues of squats and I whimper when I try to sit on the toilet, I WILL think of you and I may or may not be thinking happy thoughts! :laugh:

    Leslie- That must have been really scary, especially not having any concrete answers yet. Will keep you in my prayers
    .
    Beth – Glad to hear your Grandma is good – Feisty is good!

    SQUATS! OMG Batman! Ok you’re on! Good luck everyone! Not sure about the 5 minutes. I’m with Lori- I think I will start with one minute and see how it goes. Game on!
    Good night black team!

    The black team speaks and I listen. If five mins is to much, that's ok, just make sure you challenge yourselves. Maybe its a guy thing, but squats come easily to me. Might be because i'm getting used to doing the with 165 lbs draped across my shoulder. Either way, just do as many as your wee little girley legs can handle and that should be fine. Lol. Mwahahaha

    Ok Andrew, I will see what I can do:smile:

    Im having real trouble this morning getting anything logged and even posting replys:ohwell: It took me about 30 mins to even get this up:noway:

    Will check back later and see if the "internal server errors" are taken care of. I will get my weight to you as soon as I can Andrew. Gotta love computers!:ohwell:

    *putting on my negotiating cap*

    How about 5 1-minute intervals of squats placed throughout the day, and I still try to beat your number? :devil: :devil: :drinker: :drinker:

    definitely problems with the site...hopefully will be resolved soon. I can't lose your guys
    now, I need you!

    Not good on the weigh in this morning. I know I can blame the shots I get for my allergies and the meds I take but I am SOOOOOOOO mad. This is when I need you black team. 2 weeks in and I don't want to see a 1 pound weight loss. AHHHHHHHH:angry:

    Happy Wednesday team!

    Haven't weighed yet. Putting it off. Ice storm today. I stayed home, but Tenley's school hadn't canceled yet. Ice started shortly before school started. Now we'll have to go out in it to pick her up. Yuck.

    Beth - glad your grandma is doing well.

    Leslie - How's your daughter?

    I'm glad it wasn't just me having troubles with the site. I had 3 long posts done and it sent an error each time I tried to post. All's I got out was a mere "tag".

    Back to chew the fat, so to speak, later.

    School hadn't even been in session an hour when they decided to dismiss early because of the ice. Made it to school and back without incident. Glad we only have about 6 blocks to get there. Getting into the drive and garage was the most interesting part. Is it spring yet?

    Good Morning! Send Spyguy your starting weight and jump on in! And, if you could put your name in your signature, that would be great and much appreciated.
