    Love this - I think we all need matching capes that say "Team Awesome" (or is that going a bit too far?! ) :laugh:

    December 9-15 Challenge....
    1. 180 minutes of any type of cardio (running, biking, swimming, rowing, elliptical, you get my drift)
    2. 200 Jumping Jacks (for those of you that have trouble with Jumping Jacks, you can replace this with 30 minutes of Yoga)
    3. 100 Sit Ups

    As I said before, I am going to try and slowly get us into the challenge.... For those of you that want us to keep score and announce a December winner, please let me know once you have completed the weekly challenge...

    so do we do this everyday, or does that have to be the total at the end of the week?

    Can the sit ups be crunches?

    As the title says December 9-15 I reckon you have to try to complete the exercises during this week.

    That's my understanding anyway. :happy:

    I'm in for this one. A couple of questions though...

    Does the cardio have to be all the same activity or could I do some walking and some swimming?

    Not sure my knee can cope with jumping jacks and I don't know how to do yoga, can I replace it with 30 minutes of fencing footwork?

    Did 34 sit up crunches today, so starting before I even knew about it!

    For those who have asked, definitely change up the cardio if you would like- do some walking, some swimming, etc.... If you have trouble with the jumping jacks, just swap them out for something else- lunges, fencing, or another 30 minutes of cardio is fine:)

    One more thing- that is the total for the week- that way you can break it up as much as you would like:) I normally do 60 minutes of cardio at a time, and 50-100 sit-ups (but I am sick right now, so I am just hoping I can start up by tomorrow)....

    I'm loving this weekly challenge!

    So far.......Cardio- 89 minutes
    Jumping Jacks-100
    Situps- 25

    I usually ride my stationary bike twice a day, 30 minutes each time. So I decided to do the jumping jacks in the morning and the situps in the evening.
