  • I am almost done with my 4 week walking challenge which has been part of my weekly goal. Does anyone have a cardio type challenge that they have liked?

    You can do alternate videos to anything to modify
  • Im talking about written plans or challenges online. I found one in a blog article on myfitnesspal for 4 week walking challenge and its one of my goals to follow the plan but im almost done and I want something different.

    Awesome! Congrats, girl!

    Y'all I finally folded and went out and bought myself a few new workout outfits. I was trying not to because I didn't want to spend a fortune on clothes that I have no intention of wearing for very long but my workout clothes have gotten very baggy and I look ridiculous in them. So I went shopping and found a few bargains. Even after a year, its still stunning to me to wear 'normal' sized clothes. I don't know how long it will take me to recognize myself in the mirror. Every time I walk by and catch my reflection, it's like a small pleasant surprise. I'm certain I walk around with a little satisfied smile on my face for a good portion of the day, lol. Anyway, *warning, girl moment* I love my new workout pants! I'm excited to get to the gym this morning and break them in!

    As everyone probably knows, there wasn't a new Fear the Walking Dead last night. They went back in time and showed us the first two episodes. So, our challenge this week is to go back in time to Fall of 2014 and enjoy the memory of Carol destroying Terminus.

    Pick a Walking Dead character and do their challenge video, stay within your goals, report next Saturday, as per usual.

    Went ahead and did the Daryl kickboxing video since it's my day off due to the holiday. Holy crap was that hard, but I've definitely learned that I enjoy kickboxing. Hope everyone has a good week.

    I love kickboxing. It's great when you're stressed too. :smiley:

    I'm finding cardio in general is good for me when I'm stressed. I have a stationary bike here at home, so I put music on and just bike my stress away. I always doubted the people that enjoyed exercising when they told me that worked... Not anymore.
  • Im excited about this challenge! I love the idea of getting to pick a character!

    I'm proud of myself today. Had absolutely no motivation to do any exercises today, but I pushed through 30 minutes on my stationary bike. It was a grueling 30 minutes, but I got through it.

    Gah, I think days like that should count double, lol. Good on you for knocking it out though, it's far too easy to talk yourself out of it. #beastmode

    Challenge met, I did the Tara challenge and a HIIT workout at home sans any equipment :p

    I had pretty much given up on the challenge this week because I am staying with a friend and have no time or space to do workout videos and we have been going walking on the beach every evening so I haven't been to the gym. But today I felt sad at the thought of being kicked out of our awesome team so I did the lunge video (can't remember who it was for!) and I went for a run. The next two days I have to make myself do some strength training to reach my personal goals but I am ok for calories so I should make it for another week!
    My only issue might be lack of internet on Saturday to check in but I will do my best!

    Hi, how's everyone doing? I chose the Bob character video and did it tonight. It was just challenging enough for my fitness level. I love these challenges because they get me out of my comfort zone and motivate me to try new things. I've also met all my goals this week despite the holiday. It sounds like our teams in pretty good shape for this week!

    It's looking pretty scary for me. My water intake has been crap the last few days from having a trainee at my desk most of the day and in meetings the rest of the time...which has to be the reason my weight is UP. Like, a lot (almost 2 lbs!). Seriously not looking good for weigh in tomorrow :( I've met everything else and no issues with my diet :/

    This week, once again, the First Responders came up as the strongest team.

    First Responders still have a total of 10 healthy members. 3 others are Missing and Presumed Eaten. 1 Turned.

    Teachers have 5 healthy members remaining. 1 Missing. 2 Turned.

    Teens were hit the hardest with only 1 survivor that we know of. Other 3 Missing and Presumed Eaten.

    Zombies are missing 4: Presumed Rotted Away, but gained 3 Fresh strong ones. As always, let me know if you got missed on the list or if you see any other errors.

    Really? That would be awesome if I was still in. My internet was mostly non existent all weekend because I was visiting my brother who lives in the middle of nowhere so I couldn't check in or log my food. But I know I was under for the week because I had loads of wiggle room from earlier in the week.

    But if not checking in officially means that I have to join the zombies then I understand. I will just go off with my tail between my legs and eat some brains. :disappointed:
