Our biggest loser of the week was Nida1932 with 3.63%, but also want to acknowledge Pfil who was just behind that with 3.02% The team percentages, as I said were also close but our winner was the Blue team for the second week in a row with a loss 0f 0.66% for this week. Orange team was sooooo close and had 0.64% lost this week. Thats really a great job for the orange team because they are our largest team and its hard to get a whole team at a loss which they basically did, so great job to coach BMP9713 and the rest of the orange team as well.

The biggest losers from each team were

Red: Aprilstar480
Orange: Nida1932
Yellow: Pfil
Green: Tolstoy26
Blue: MichelleP418
Purple: ljdanny

The recipe challenge was a close one as well, but the final winner was #3 which was the blue teams! There were alot of really good sounding items in each groups meals, so im definitely going to mix and match some things and try out alot of these. Thank you all for voting and for supplying recipes. Hopefully you found something new to try!

Our challenge is going to involve running (or walking if necessary) and performing exercises to get points until you reach 30 points. This should be done all at once.

1) Run 250 ft (~76 yards, ~0.05 mi)
2) Choose an exercise from the list and complete the required number of reps to get the points listed
3) Run 250 ft (~76 yards, ~0.05 mi)
4)Choose an exercise from the list and complete the required number of reps to get the points listed
5) continue the above steps until you reach 30 points.

If you hate running and want to get it done as quickly as possible, then pick an exercise that has the most points so you dont have to run as much. If you want a really good cardio workout, then just pick exercises that are only worth 1 point. You will end up doing just under a half mile up to just under a mile and a half, depending on what exercises you choose.

1 point exercises:
10 crunches or sit ups
10 jumping jacks
10 lunges (5 each leg, weights optional, but recommended)
10 bicep curls (weights optional, but recommended)
10 high knees

2 point exercises:
10 mountain climbers
10 seconds plank
10 seconds wall sit
10 bicycle crunches
10 "girl" push ups (knees on ground)
10 dips


3 point exercises:
10 burpees
5 globe jumps (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVNeaS5b4nM)
10 full pushups
10 squats with shoulder press (weights recommended)
5 V-ups (http://gymnasticswod.com/content/v)
10 chest press/pulls with weights

You can do all the same exercise each time or mix it up, just has to get to 30 points. Its gonna be a tough one! If youguys have some other ideas to add in here for exercises let me know. If like to have a good mix of upper and lower ones as well as strength and cardio.

The challenge for this week is a physical one. Please read through and ask questions if you have them. Since this is a fairly intense physical one, if you cannot due something due to an injury, please discuss with your coach and see if you cant come up with an alternative. Remember even just attempting it but not completing will get you 1 point! Ideally this is done outside or at a gym with a track and since its a short distance most people should have space for it at their house. It can be done on a treadmill (~0.05 mi between each exercise) and without weights as well, so make do with what you have, get out there and get your heart rate up and get in a nice full body workout. You will definitely burn some calories with this!
