    Tyreese and Sasha already chose a punishment exercise: 

    Inchworm: Stand up tall with the legs straight, and do like Lil’ Jon and let those fingertips hit the floor. Keeping the legs straight (but not locked!), slowly lower the torso toward the floor, and then walk the hands forward. Once in a push-up position, start taking tiny steps so the feet meet the hands. Continue bugging out for 4-6 reps. 

    Do 3 days this week.

    ummm....just saw Emily Kinney playing a short lived (literally) character on The Following....I hope that's not indicative that her role as Beth is no more....

    Ab work it is - and since that crunchless ab seems like it might be fun you can either do the whole 10 min video with all the different standing ab work, or just do 50 reps on each side - total 100 crunches, of the first variation shown in the video. That way you can break it up into different days if you need to.

    Hey there! My week is going pretty good. I am needing to bump up my strength training today and tomorrow to meet my goals though.. It is raining here in TN today, bummer, it is my day off and I had planned one of those 4 miles outdoor walks today with my bf and dog...oh well, looks like it may turn into a gym day.

    Where is everyone hiding these days?? Tiffy? how did camping go?

    Leader board and recap have been posted. 
    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1195194-weekly-leaderboard-and-most-valuable-players
    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1238374-walking-dead-recap-season-4-episode-16-a

    Tyreese and Sasha will be deciding the last punishment exercise of the season. 

    Also remember this is the week to get your 2 points for doing a Fitspiration, the early bird challenge 4 was:

    A big part of survival in the apocalypse will be teaching and inspiring others. In week 9, there will be bonus points (2) awarded to everyone who contributes a fitspo to the MFP Fitspiration thread.  

    Part One: 
    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1102508-mfp-fitspiration 
    Part Two: 
    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1103771-mfp-fitspiration 
    Part Three: 
    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1128928-mfp-fitspiration 

    Part Four
    Add your fitspo here:
    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1198808-mfp-fitspiration

    If you haven't done a fitspo yet, think of what you've accomplished in the last 9 weeks and make one now to make 2 points for your team this week. Browse the 4 part thread for inspiration (you'll find plenty). As you can see, a fitspo is just a motivational quote on a picture. It can be a before and after picture, a picture of yourself dancing, a picture of the street you jog on, the park you walk through or of an obstacle you've had to fight past. As long as the quote and picture have inspired you, it will inspire others. Message your team captain when you have posted one or remind them that you have done so already.

    how do you make one?

    I am not exactly sure, but I found an app on my phone called instacollage, you can make collages and add words. I am considering using this to post my before and after pics. Let me know if you find anything else out about this!!!
  • tj1376

    The Fitspro basically requires you to find a picture you like, and a saying you like, merge them together and then post it. I have a hard time posting pics so I can honestly say I havent done it yet.

    Just in case I forgot (which clearly I did) - This weeks challenge has a minimum 200 min Cardio, 90 Min Strength and whatever punishment the winning team has come up with.

    HOWEVER!!!!! Since its the last week of the challenge I dont want to see minimums from anyone! I want you all to push as hard as you can and turn in some crazy numbers!!!! Team Carol is trying to see if they can get 800 cardio min - Can you? Are you up for the challenge of pushing yourselves to the breaking point and then realizing you survived?!

    Good Luck this week Team Beth!!!!!!

    Dont forget to turn in the results of your goals along with your challenge totals at the end of the week.

    OK, got my fitspo, but I need someone to dumb down the directions on how to post it in a thread. Searching other posts and in the help section garnered nothing....

    Nevermind - I figured it out all on my own:tongue:

    and also posted on the fitspo thread. I feel like figuring this out was a workout in and of itself!
