Hey guys, we are planning the next seasons challenge and I am looking for some feed back to what you guys like about this challenge and what you didn't like so we can tweak it for next season. If you have any good ideas to share, please do!

Feeling majorly behind since a work out on Monday didnt happen.. I am trying desperately to get out of funky town... How many inch worms are we supposed to each day? How do we count them?

Cardio: 155/250
Strength: 15/100
Martial Arts/Combat:
Average calorie intake: 2/6 days
Weight loss for challenge: 5.1#/ 7#
Punishment (current) = ?/5 (inch worm)
Exercise of choice = 2/5 (50 crunches a day)

Oh my abs! What was I thinking making ab work my "challenge" for the week. Mari just kicked my tail (and abs) into submission.

The fast and fun ab workout is not very fun and doesn't seem nearly fast enough. Teasers are not funny folks!

Okay that is 30 minutes of pilates completed.

Pilates= 1 Kawookie = 0

Day 4 Wednesday 3/26/14
MY LAST DAY

Cardio = 280/250
Strength = 92/100
Average calorie intake = 4/4 days
Weight loss for challenge = 3
Punishment (current) = 0/5 (inch worm) Sorry
Challenge (curtsy lunge) = 0/5 Sorry
Exercise of choice = 4/5 planks

I will try and add more but can not guaranty any thing.

sorry everyone I haven't posted in a few days but can I just say the punishments aren't fun and I feel I look very silly doing them. I am doing 2 a day.

also NSV I'm on day 80, woo hoo very proud of my self for this. but I did miss my body pump class this morning so now I'm going to try and find a good online work out with weights to get my strength in. I just have to say I feel amazing and every day I feel I can do more and last longer. I just love this feeling. well I won't post a lot but going to walk, do weights, and I have my core class tonight. I hope everyone has a great day and I hope the warm weather comes soon, I'm very sick of this cold winter :grumble: ( in spring )

you know you have a VERY active team when you come back after a few days off, and there is so much to catch up on you dont know where to start!!!

and for me... im just starting NOW (well, in about 2 hrs i will be)

FIRST! thank you so SOOO much team for coverin my behind last week (and maybe a little this week) while on vacation. and whoever was able to pull the extra 60 of combat for me... i couldnt find who it was! thank you.. from the bottom of my heart!!

this is what i caught in my skim:

Hajenkatt: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

inchworms arent NEARLY as hard as they seem or look. i did them a lot in NR4W and NRAbs... kinda like planks. once you start doin them, they get easier.

im not clear on what we are fully supposed to be doing. im copy/pasting from Kawookie

Cardio: 0/250
Strength: 0/100
Average calorie intake: 4/6
Punishment (inchworms): 0/5
Exercise of choice (planks): 0/5

my plan, you ask?

thurs: tabattas + lift (60c +45st)
Fri: row + wod? 60c
Sat: lift + bootcamp (60st + 45c)

yikes: 185c / 105 st

ouch ouch ouch. ill see what else i can do.

Happy 40th HajenKatt!!!!! :flowerforyou: :drinker: :bigsmile: :flowerforyou: I will do something nice for myself to celebrate. I'm staring my morning with a vanilla soy latte(home made for lesser cals and money)


Courscate, it was lovely Sawjan that covered your behind. Janice is the martial arts guru/ninja!


Wow! I've been busy with the new business. We had a freezer delivered and boy was that a process! We may have found a real location though, so send some good luck and warm wishes my way.

It looks like I'm not going over the top this week with numbers cause I've been just too busy. I'm getting it in, just not as much as usual. lol

Skittles, happy 80th!!! I find a lot of good strength training on fitnessblender. Jillian Michaels has a good kettle bell work out that you can use a regular hand weight with. It's called shred it with weights(on youtube). I like that one.

Kim, I hope your dad is doing ok. I was thinking of you today. Let us know his progress.

We had a big tragedy here in my state with a landslide. They are searching for the dead at this point and the rain is not letting up. Say a prayer out there for those suffering with loss. Sad situation. Give a hug to your loved ones.


I don't like leaving on a negative note, so you have just 2 days of this weeks challenge! Then we only have one week left! We are rock stars!!! Whoo Hoo! I hope your week ends are full of fun and happiness.

Oh and just to comment - I didnt hate the inchworms this week. I may look like an idiot flopping around on the floor, but I was thrilled not to be falling over this week :laugh:
