    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.

    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?

    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:

    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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CswK7e_Bep8
    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.

    That's not too bad. I was dreading it after reading the posts on the team Michonne board! :laugh:

    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:

    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! :smile:

    Just to let you know, team, I love squats so I will probably do extra if anyone needs a hand with the punishment this week. I've done it twice already.

    Off to bed now. Night! Don't let the zombies bite.

    Hi Team Carl. I'm on Team Michonne and part of our challenge is to share some love with you in the form of either cardio or strength training minutes. I am hereby offering 10 minutes of strength training to whoever on this team wants it. Just PM me and let me know (you can wait till nearer the end of the week if you want to see who needs it most).
    Happy squatting!! :smile: :smile:

    I love all of Team Carl and Team Rick and I think you've both done amazingly but this is a first-come, first-serve basis. Instead of offering you ten minutes of cardio or strength, with Cindy's permission, I am offering immunity to your punishment to only ONE member of Team Carl and ONE member of Team Rick. This will mean, for one member on Team Rick and one member on Team Carl, I will be doing your punishment for the rest of the week, which is the Sally squats.

    If you want this to happen, PM me saying "Team Carl" or "Team Rick" respectively and the first person to message me will be the person I'll do the punishment for. This offer isn't valid to people who have already accepted help from one of my team!

    I LOVE YOU, CARL AND RICK! I'll slay those zombies to save yo' *kitten*!

    Wow, so much love going around for this week. I love squats, so I don't mind doing them ^_^ Also, I have fewer hours in work this week, which is nice.

    BTW, did anyone else find Lizzie incredibly creepy in this week's episode?

    Yes! She was very creepy. Here's where the true genius of the show's writers comes out. A child who is not that stable to begin with.... will they become a monster in the apocalypse? Enough years have gone by that they will be starting to forget what the normal civilized world was like.

    I felt very scared for Judith. That blank stare Lizzie had going on... :noway: I haven't read the comic books so don't know who Sgt. Abraham Ford is. He looks interesting.

    From what I have read, we are about to meet somebody about 1000x worse than the governor
