TEAM ONE!!! There is a 5 day exercise challenge this week!!! Five out of Seven Days. Make sure you start it early!! We got this!5

Good morning team! Excellent job in a very tight race. Only 20 points different, and wow - all the people getting 1000 minutes or more. Hope you are icing your muscles and ready to get your sumo squats on.
Beautiful pictures of Kyoto. Looks amazing in the fall. OK, gotta get the ducks in a row for this week with two challenges requiring 5 days out of 7, and the third will need to be over multiple days too. I'm really interested in the Rajio Taiso. The squatting is a bit tougher. The calorie goal is good for me this week, I've been getting a little sloppy.
Have a good week everyone.

Wow, those pictures are something! Good job team on an awesome effort last week. This weeks challenges come at a good time for me. I don't want to go to the gym yet since I'm still hacking up a a lung so I'm gonna take Bailey on some long walks and do the stretches and squats at home. My logging has been really poor too so this is good. I must admit I got nervous that we weren't supposed to have any candy and I knew THAT wasn't going to happen!
Off to watch some videos and get my stretching on!3 -
Did weights this morning and will be counting my active minutes with my trick or treaters tonight!
Off with my coffee to read this week challenge2 -
A well fought battle Team One!
Awesome teamwork!
Yes, Poo museums are common in Japan! They take their hygiene very seriously.
I get to meet my new boss today on 3 hours of sleep! I better do my Radio Taiso to get my brain going!
With the extra mileage this week, I think this leg will be won or lost by the challenge points. Must practice resistance of tempting foods.
Bowing out of the room now.

Happy Halloween! And Konichiwa! (no idea whether I spelled that right, I think I learned it from Dora the Explorer.)
Great challenges this week - exactly what I need - logging, stretching/moving daily, and squats!
This is going to get me in a raft of @#$%, but I'm going to tell a tale on myself. I still smoke, and have no desire to quit, so I take myself outside to indulge my habit, even at home. It is boring standing on the back porch staring at dead plants, so while I'm having a smoke I usually do some kind of stretches, or lunges, or something like that. Guess this week it will be sumo squats.
I'm not sure I can commit to 1000 minutes, but 750 doesn't sound unreasonable. The strenth training I'm doing is about 45 minutes four times this week, and walking in between - plus the squats and the calisthenics - and a 10k on Sunday. I think can make it! I give my humble appreciation to whoever invented ibuprofen.2 -
Hard fought battle Team 1, but know you folks will come back with a vengeance this week since you all are a bunch of winners! And yes, know that you folks continue to be the winners in the challenge points department! Have a great week! Team 5 is enjoying the competition! See y'all in Japan!

Vidoes watched, 50 sumo squats done, two radio videos done. Off to walk the dog then log the minutes once the spreadsheet opens!
Tip: since we can do the squats with body weight (thank you!) do a quick 5 (while maintaining proper form of course!) while brushing your teeth, waiting for the coffee to perk, listening to voice mails, on commercials. They will add up quickly and it won't be so "OMG! That's a lot of squats!"5 -
OOPS! Somebody (hawkins410), forgot to post that the spreadsheet was back up last night...it's back up!1

@cardbucfan great idea!0

Hey there, Team 1! I'm from Team 5 and I just want to extend a friendly hand shake (or, rather, in honor of this week -- a bow) to our worthy competitors. Our teams may be neck and neck, but really, ALL the teams are accomplishing so much! We could light a city with all the energy being expended! Hope you all have a great week! 5

So I decided to do a few squats on my break... 1..2.RIP that would be the seam of my pants I think I will stick to do these at home from now on!!!2

Ain't that the truth T?!?0

-80 squats done, probably do another 20 before bed. I typically do my sumo squats with an 85-90lb dumbbell, but no way am I going to do 140 with that much weight. So I'll do a bunch of bodyweight sumos, and then do my weighted ones later in the week.
-2 videos done
-well under calorie count for the day so that should be fine
I did a mile in the pool this afternoon, and then decided to test out my ankle. It was feeling pretty good at work. I went for a really easy 1.5ish mile run, and learned I'm definitely not run-ready yet
. It felt soooo good to run, until it hurt. Not horrible pain, but enough that I know I shouldn't be running on it yet. Maybe will try again at the end of the week. 2 -
@MissionEnforcer 2 videos done and 40 squats done. Its harder than it looks. I did some squats between answering the door for the trick or treaters. and I also watched the video. Very beautiful @hawkins410. I really can't believe how awake my upper body is after doing the first two videos.
Hope everyone had a goulish night for those of you that celebrate Halloween.2 -
1000 minutes is really tough to do.
After my 2nd 3 hour workout this weekend.. I still have 53 minutes left to hit 1000.
I'll do a 20 minute walk with the dogs... but that still leaves 33 mins and I am bagged.
Hmmmm ....
Does a hot bath count?
How about a steam shower?
I'm sure my wife will have a chore or two for me if I open that door just a Crack.
you are doing awesome, I am glad to getting as much exercise as I can, but 1000 minutes is out of reach right now for me. I bet your wife will help you with some chores though.1 -
I have questions...When I get home from working out and I do laundry, cook dinner and clean up should I add those minutes as well or just my exercise minutes as I have been doing? Also I stretched today during the day at work 2x rather than before work I used it as a break from sitting all day at my computer, does that 7 minutes count from those videos or just the challenge points?0
-
I loved the beautiful videos, I watched them both. @celtikgirl as long as we all give it our best in minutes for the team, I think that is all anyone can do. The smoking is up to you, when you are ready to quit you will. I say that with knowledge because I went through it myself 16 years ago.1

Hey team. I did the rajio taiso stretching this morning and I enjoyed it. I really like swinging my arms around like that - fun and feels good. I did a walk with Stella this morning and then a run after I got home. I almost bagged out on the run because it was already almost dark and the trick or treaters were already out. But I decided to go for it and put on my headlamp and reflective gear, and Stella's light up pink collar. And we ran! She set a good pace tonight and we did 2.2 miles.
Bad day for food though. I desperately need to plan meals and grocery shop, and I have almost no food at home. But no time today and I had a reception at work so I ate a few hors d'oeuvres there and then came home and ate leftover pizza. My estimate is probably off, but in any case - OVER! Now I'll be under the gun to stay on track to get my 5/7 days.
No sumo squats yet, so I'll have to get that going too. My legs are a little sore today after yesterday's long hike.
Hope you all had a good Halloween run or walk or swim or whatever!

Good morning!
Day 2 of Radio tasio done!
I only got about 45 squats yesterday. I will do more tonight.
That radio thing does energize it's nice to do first thing in the morning!
Have a great day!1 -
@mamaelf2008: Thank you for posting that comparison board! While looking at those bowls full of candy last night, I just wanted to leap right in. But the thought of 0NE-HUNDRED PUSH-UPS for that little bag of Skittles made me limit myself to just two mini-chocolates and I stayed under my calorie count!
@aenglehardt347: The exercise minutes that are supposed to be used for the challenge are those that are above and beyond your normal daily activity. So, if it is normal for you to come home and do laundry, clean up, etc., I would NOT count them. I think there are a couple of players in this game (NOT on Team One) that are counting almost every minute they are awake. @MissionEnforcer is trying to address that issue with those individuals. I think you should carry on with the way you have been doing it!
I'm not sure what you meant about the stretching at your desk. Were you doing it with the Rajio Taiso videos? Definitely count the seven minutes toward your exercise time (good idea to stretch at your desk, I should do it more often!). If you are doing it w/ the videos, then that would count as 2 out of the 10 required times. Although we prefer that everyone starts their day with the Rajio Taiso, it is not a mandatory MORNING routine, only a mandatory 5 out of 7 day challenge.
@celtikgirl: Another 10K? I am super impressed! @cardbucfan, @wolvinnetje, @katharmonic: sounds like you are off to a great start to the week! @ka97: that's frustrating about missing the upcoming run, but sooo much better to completely heal now and have a better running future!
@TamiJo1004: Sorry to hear about your pants! But hey, you took one for the Team!
Glad everyone is enjoying the videos! Kyoto in the Fall has sure made my bucket list!
I stayed within my calorie count, did 25 squats and 2 Rajio Taiso videos, so I am on track so far this week!
