    Hope you like it, tj1376! We are on night #3 and after all my recent work, it actually doesn't seem to bad. On a day I'm not doing other workouts, I could definitely do multiple rounds to get a good sweat on.

    To honour poor Beth and the loss the group feels, do one of her boot camp videos from the first two weeks and remember how brave she was.

    This week, I have extra, and if anyone needs any minutes, I can donate up to 67 mins of cardio and 23 min of strength. Just claim it in your post and credit me (I already posted to the scoreboard with a note that beginners can take my extras). I'm paying it forward, since I had two very kind donations last week from others!

    Look at me posting early, lol. I have minutes to share as well. Let me know if you need them. I'll post to the scoreboard after the kids go to bed- I haven't done the burpees yet. As a matter of fact, I've never done a single burpee in my life. So this should be comical. Thankfully my husband is headed out tonight so he won't be here to laugh at me.

    Oh I suppose it would be helpful if I said how many extra minutes I have: 85 extra cardio and 20 extra strength.

    Thanks @ julebg79, can I have 4 of your strength minutes? I'll include it in my post.

    I barely got the minimums in - my 2nd grandbaby arrived yesterday and we've been up at the hospital.

    Really enjoyed getting to know all of you and reading about your journeys! Such inspiring stories! I am really looking forward to the next round and hope everyone will come back when we start again in early February. Merry Christmas!

    Thank you, Cindy, for organizing and running this challenge. It was exactly what I needed to get back on track, and I learned a lot. I really, really appreciate all your hard work and look forward to doing it again in February. Have a great holiday season!

    Oh, and thanks to whomever first suggested Bring Sally Up. Just so I can stay in shape until the next challenge, I'll sacrifice and keep doing that workout. You know, so I don't let my teammates down. ;-)

    This has been a lot of fun! We even had a few team wins and some good scores! Did I see someone one week get 500+ minutes of cardio??!! Go you!

    Not a huge deal, but I'm not sure if the MVPs for this week are correct or transposed with last week. We didn't get a lot of people who posted on the scoreboard this week, but if one of them is the mvp, they may want to have the fun resurrection power for next part of the season :)

    Also wanted to say that I've learned a lot from this challenge. I was all cardio before starting here. I now dedicate at least 15 minutes a day to strength training. I was tempted to drop it this morning at the gym because the challenge was over, but I did it anyway. My plan is to hit all minutes for mid-challenge (week 4 or 5) going forward. I may skip the punishments though, lol.
