Hi everyone, did you miss me?
Im back from my trip and it was great (aside from the emergency landing on the flight home, but thats another story). Unfortunately I am sick now though and have been since sunday. I havent gotten to watch the show yet but am going to try to do it now to figure out a challange for us and then get to work on the spreadsheets for the past couple weeks. Just wanted to get this started so you would know I hadnt forgotten about it!
And thanks to AprilStar for running the challenge while I was gone!
**************
Edit:: Ok the challenge on the show last night had to deal with answering trivia questions about obesity to get points for your team. This is one we've done here before and people seem to gather alot of good infomation. This weeks challenge for us is going to be 3 parts
Part 1) AS A TEAM - answer the ten multiple choice questions listed here. You should discuss on your team thread and then one member should post your teams answers here (or in a PM to me if you prefer)
Part 2) AS AN INDIVIDUAL - answer at least one trivia question in the main thread, and post a new one. PLEASE make sure you are responding to the last question asked and make reference to that question in your response, then post a new question of your own for someone to asnwer.
For example:
AprilStar480 posts : "How many teaspoons of sugar does a typical can of soda have?"
I repond " A can of soda has 10 teaspoons of sugar. Next question: True or false, You should wait until you are hungry to eat?"
TamBam72 "False, waiting until you are hungry could result in skipping meals which triggers your body to hold on to fat and burn fewer calories. Next Question: How many calories will a person burn if they walk 1 mile on flat ground, at 3 miles per hour, and they weigh 200 pounds? A. 110 B. 200 C. 400
Get it? Good
Part 3) The challenge on the show had everyone worrying about how they are going to balance work and workouts once they get home (the losers had to work in a diner all week instead of spending it in a gym) This is a problem most of us face as there just isnt enough time in the day to get everything done. The physical challenge this week is to complete the 'workout at work" found in this link http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/health/workout-at-work/ This has a total of 12 exercises that you can do anywhere. No, they dont have to be done at work necessarily, but they could. They could also be done while you are watching TV, waiting at the bus stop for your kids, cooking dinner, riding the elevator, even talking on the phone. They can all be done fairly quickly, involve some cardiovascular exercise, and could have weights added in if you wanted for an extra kick. The point of this exercise is that there is always some type of exercise that you can fit in even if you only have 20 seconds. If you have the option to do this at work, I strongly suggest you try it - Sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day can have bad effects on your body (sore back and neck anyone?) and just a few moments of activity and stretching can help to remedy hours of sitting there
Challenge summary
