    if you want to send me your weigh ins 2mrw that is fine. I just want to make sure I have them in so I can keep our loss calculated currectly when its time to get those in.

    I give everybody until 2mrw to have your weigh-ins in.

    Thank you.

    UPS and DOWNS

    http://www.youtube.com/user/sixpackshortcuts?v=bkD9LwDBWW0&feature=pyv&ad=7237549087&kw=exercise

    The very first part of this exercise is the up and downs. They may be modified by simply starting on all 4's and then standing up quickly and returning to this position to all 4's. This is a cardio exercise! Don't be freaked out but all he is doing just do the first part and modify if needed.

    REMEMBER ITS THE VERY FIRST THING HE DOES ON THE FLOOR that's it! Unless you are a real rockstar then finish it out if you can. It's a crazy exercise. Be ready for great exercises you can do at home without anything!

    Heeeyy my lovely team. Just got this email in:

    Team,

    Encourage all of your folks to take a current full body pic before Monday. Have them send it to you. At the end of the challenge we will have them take another pic and send that to you. I'll compile all of the pics and we can do a before and after photo slide show. I'm going to do a prize for the winner of the biggest transformation. I'll narrow it down to the top 10 and let everyone vote! It'll be a blast!

    What do you think?

    I just want to make sure they are dated correctly and not something from 6 months ago. LOL


    So if you feel like you want to be apart of that competition then send me a picture. I will send my email to those who want it... or we can post them in our forum? WHat do you guys think!?
