We're on a journey to Mordor and good health. It's going to be crazy fun!
The Two Towers Fitness Challenge starts on Sunday, June 19th! No knowledge of Tolkien or the movies required.
Each week we will issue a new fitness challenge based on Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings ~ Two Towers (Extended) Movie and you and your teammates have a week to achieve 6 points. You earn a point for each goal you meet.
Each week there will be goals for 1) Cardio minutes, 2) Strength minutes, 3) Flexibility minutes, 4) Elevenses aka a food challenge 5) Discovery which varies a lot but generally covers exploring your long term health or yourself. 6) The Eye of Sauron goal which is issued by the winning team from the previous week's challenge and is usually exercise.
It's a lot of fun and you are on a team with other fun, funny, fitness orientated people! Anyone can participate and you choose the level of activity so it doesn't matter if you are super fit or 100% brand new to exercise.
While no knowledge of Tolkien or the Lord of the Rings movies are required we do try and make it Lord of the Rings-y for the LOTR's fans.
Interested? Awesome! The group is public now but will become private once we start. Use the link below to join the group and then read the announcement "Two Towers Rules for Living in Middle Earth READ THIS FIRST" to get started!

@shinycrazy There is an audit group in this challenge! They are Ents now. In addition to the audit group there are different activity levels to choose from based on your fitness level and time available.
Still time to join us to travel around Middle Earth! If you don't give a crap about Lord of the Rings you will still be able to participate because there is no trivia and we tell you what you need to know.0 -
