I guess, (not sounding convinced).
Good idea on the resistance bands. If you're stuck for weights, bottles of water can be quite handy. 2litres of water equals 2.2lbs. I used to do dumbbell rows with a couple of bottles of water in a plastic bag! Gallon jugs filled up with sand or the like also make great weights.
How is everyone else getting on this week?
Arzu, I know you're really busy at work, but how is the week going?
Jessica, any up date?
How are you finding the challenge, Hannah?0 -

I have a set of 3 lb weights but it can get boring after a while, now I will have a variety.0 -

Go team Carl!0 -
How's everyone doing this week? Arzu is very busy with school, so just send me your totals from now on, still by Midnight Central. I thought I'd posted the change already, but I must've forgot.

That's cool, Cindy. Thanks for letting us know.0 -
So is she out or just stepping down from captain? I got in the rest of my cardio yesterday in the pool. BTW, Water volleyball is super hard when you can't reach the bottom. Gonna hit up the pool again today but I think our hiking will have to be put off till tomorrow. Its super stormy at the beach today. We just watch a chair fly off the patio cause of the wind:noway
Queenbee, are you gonna be able to get in the rest of your burpees? If not you can have 25 of mine.
Kim, get your strength done and you can have 50 burpees.
Anyone else need help?:0 -
Kasi, you had an awesome week! :drinker: That's some wind! It's stormy here too, though not that bad. I'm visiting my sister this weekend and the wind damaged the roof so the house is a bit flooded at the moment. :frown:
I've 60 burpees, 60 mins strength training and 131 mins cardio up for grabs - who wants them?
According spreadsheet at the moment:-
Bridget - needs 54 mins cardio, 25 burpees
Kim - needs 175 mins cardio, 90 strength training and 50 burpees
Katrina - needs 40 mins cardio and 30 mins strength training.
Kasi - if we combine our extra strength training minutes we can help both Kim and Katrina reach goal. If Katrina takes 40 of my cardio minutes, and Bridget takes 54 cardio mins that leaves 37 cardio mins for Kim.
Arzu, Jessica and Hannah - are you still with us?0 -
Sounds good to me! Kim, get moving:bigsmile: I should be able to get Bridget's cardio done too if she can't. I'm sure i'll spend at least an hour in the pool again and possible get some walking done through beach shops or something. Keep us posted team! The weeks not over yet.0
-
Excellent! I plan on doing another 10 mins kickboxing but that's probably me for the day (it's evening here).
Go team Carl! We can do this!0 -
I just added my numbers in for the week, except for today - can someone verify that you can see mine? I am not sure how to save the information.0

Hey guys!! Sorry, I've been so busy. Cindy is captain. Miraculously I've kept up with cardio and strength training thanks to work. Calories have been all over the place this week though. I am gonna be inputting my stats into the sheet now.0
-
Ok, inputted. I sucked with calories this week, but my strength + cardio goals have been fabulous because of work. Ten hour days definitely help... as does walking up and down the stairs and lifting too many things to count. Woohoo.
Burpees are next after I finish my homework. Also, can anyone help me out with nutrition? I am having trouble eating healthy and welcome any recipes for a student limited on cash and time.0 -
Hey everybody! Just got done shopping so I got some walking in and finished my cardio goal for the week. Also, I got a resistance band so I am going to try it out now, so I will hopefully get in the rest of my strength as well. If I get my strength I will have gotten every goal this week! How has everybody else done this week?0
-
My goodness I spend the morning at the gym and this thread went crazzzzzzy. I love it!!!
I had to make up for being super lazy yesterday so I ended up spending my entire morning at the gym. I was able to complete my numbers for everything and even if I go over tonight for cals I will still average under.
My goal of no gluten/fast food didn't go over well when I chose a chicken sandwich from Wendy over a huge bag of chips.... but ohhh well.
How was everyone's week been??? The numbers over all look great, keep up the awesome job ladies.0 -
Yay it looks like everyone is doing pretty well Keep it up guys! I did my burpees... I'm dying... 0
-
Wow, spreadsheet looks great. If anyone misses sending me a message tonight, I can just look on there, so it's definitely a great addition.0
-
So, I gave my extras to Dakotababy since her numbers were so close. That should put her at 100%. I still have 20 cardio and 15 strength if anyone needs it. Oh and Kim and Banana got my burpees.0
-
Managed to hit all of my goals this week! how did everybody else do?0
-
I hit all my goals but nutrition. Hoping to do better this week 0
-
We had a fantastic week and the numbers looked awesome, let's keep the momentum going!!!
In addition to cardio, strength and nutrition we have to all do an extra ten minutes of cardio and donate it to team Rick or michonne. I think we need to split us up and half donate to one team and half to the other.... hopefully this will keep everything fair and still give us a fighting chance to win this week.
Additionally should all try to exceed the 250 minutes of cardio michonne and Rick are doing. There is no way we will learn to survive on our own if we don't take lessons from role models. With our spreadsheet it will be a lot easier for us to track our individual and team progress. Let's make this our week to show everyone what we are made of.
Hope y'all have a great start to your week.0 -
Week Three Challenge Feb 17-22nd
1. Cardio:
You will begin this third week by completing a minimum of 220 minutes of cardio, which should include at least minutes of combat related exercise such as a martial art like kickboxing.
2. Weight Training
Weight train or resistance train a minimum 30 minutes 3 times a week.
3. Food Intake
Stay within your set calorie goals, maintaining a weekly average. That means you can have a cheat day and go over, as long as you have other days to make up for the surplus.
4. Do your punishment exercise(s) to be decided by Michonne every day for five days and include them in strength totals. The MVPs from each team are exempt.
5. On the last episode that we saw Carl in, he realized the importance of being with his father and being reunited with Michonne. Complete ten minutes of a cardio or strength exerise of your choice and donate the time to a Team Rick or Team Michonne member of your choice. You can PM them or offer your contribution on their boards to the most needy.
6. As before, you may share any extra cardio or strength minutes with a needy teammate. They can use the points towards their own totals in the challenge, but you keep them for MVP purposes.
So, we don't know what the punishment is yet? Do we?0 -
Kasi - woot!woot! Congrats on being MVP!!! You knocked it out of the park this week! Yay! :drinker:
Bridget - Awesome idea! I will donate to team Michonne.
Arzu - Yay! Well done, I'm so impressed you managed to make you goals when you were so busy!
Katrina - you had a fantastic week, well done!
We rocked week two, team Carl! Everyone did amazing with their cardio, strength and burpees. We were ranked second this week - epic turn around! We can do even better this week. Team Carl for the win! :drinker:0 -
Yes, we do. Michonne's team captain sent it to me last night. They want everyone to do this "Bring Sally Up" Squat Challenge, 5 times.So, we don't know what the punishment is yet? Do we?

If you can't access the video, it is 4 minutes of regular squats, but holding in the squat position for a full 3 seconds before rising and squatting again.0 -

That's not too bad. I was dreading it after reading the posts on the team Michonne board! :laugh:0 -
Squats are a great workout. And these are to music. It is tough, but fun. Which should be everyone's goal. :bigsmile:
Great job team Carl. And next time you come stalking, stop in and visit for awhile. :laugh:

PS, you can do it with pushups also. Just saying.

Hi Shelley, thanks for stopping by! Do you mean you can incorporate a pushup into the squats or do you mean you can hold the pushup for 3 seconds before coming back up?
I actually seriously really love squats! I'm not saying I found the 4 minutes easy, but I felt so good afterwards! 0
