    This is the week one team challenge. This should be done in addition to your normal workout routine.
    This is a challenge and is not a replacement! If you need a beginner workout please contact your team
    captain for ideas.

    Week One Daily Exercise Challenge
    Each team member that completes their daily exercise challenge receives one point, if all team
    members complete each daily exercise for all 6 days the team is then awarded an additional 5 Bonus
    Points.
    Day 1 Exercise Challenge - 100 Jumping Jacks*(see below)
    Day 2 Exercise Challenge – Walk, Run or Jog 1 Mile (extra)
    Day 3 Exercise Challenge – 50 Situps or Ab Crunches*
    Day 4 Exercise Challenge – 40 UP and Downs *
    Day 5 Exercise Challenge – 25 Pushups *
    Day 6 Exercise Challenge – 25 Squat Lunges*
    Day 7 Rest! You deserve it!

    If you are uncertain on how to do an exercise get with your captains as they will have a weblink to each
    exercise.

    Week One Weekly Team Challenge

    Each team member in order to get the weekly team bonus points must all log every day and not go over
    their target calories and log at least 64 oz. of water each day. If each team member does this all 6 days

    *Feel free to do these exercises in sets if you are unable to do them all at one time. Please do your best
    as you are much stronger than you believe.

    Please note each week the exercises will increase in difficulty. This will push each team member.

    Any questions let me know. I hope I made the points system easy enough. Check your emails you should all have the forms, the excel sheet if you want to use it for team tracking and the point system. If not let me know. They were sent to your outside emails.

    Gary,

    Thanks for starting this!!!

    I know you posted this somewhere but... I can't find it.

    We are supposed to come up with challenges and get them to you but I can't remember how many of what kind we need to get to you.

    Thanks!

    With Friendship and Warmth from Missouri!

    You dont' have to do that if you don't want to. Bring me your suggestions and I'll compile them into the next 3 weeks challenges. I wanted to go easy the first week so folks wouldn't get discouraged. Week 2 we need to really step it up! BURN THOSE FAT CELLS.

    we have a team song thanks to mkaluzny!!

    Drop it ‘Cause we’re hot
    Let’s give it all we got.
    Healthly diet and exercise
    Will take us to the proper size.
    So, let’s tie on those running shoes,
    And spread the news of what we lose.
    Go team!

    Great ideas, songs, mottos and signatures. Still loving the Exercisits. I might award a special prize to that designer. That is still cracking me up. Who designed it?

    Week One Weekly Team Challenge

    Each team member in order to get the weekly team bonus points must all log every day and not go over
    their target calories and log at least 64 oz. of water each day. If each team member does this all 6 days
    your team will be awarded 5 Bonus Points.


    just to confirm, the point system for the team challenge is the same as the daily challenge where for each member that, stays under calories and logs 64ozs of water, will receive 1 point each day it's completed...and at the end of the week if ALL tm's logged it for the 6 days, we are awarded 5 points????

    Gary,

    Here are some questions we still need answers on I believe:

    1. Can we send the weights 1st thing monday am? or does this have to be sunday night?

    2. Does it matter which day team members do the exercises or in what order? Can someone take Monday off and start Day 1 on Tuesday for instance? Do the daily challenges have to be done in order or can they be mixed up?

    3. We do not report the points from weight loss until the end of the month correct? We will simply submit our weekly totals from daily and weekly challenges?

    Agree... Was wondering about the days too, does it have to be Mon-Sat and rest on Sunday, or could someone's week be Tues-Sun and rest Mon etc? as long as they get everything in before close of challenge Sunday night?

    Gary - also on the team challenges - what about those that can't log in on the weekend because they don't have access to a computer and use their work computer?

    Hi!

    I need some clarification on the points system... :huh:

    1 point per pound
    1 point per person PER DAY? for daily fitness challenge (Mon-Sat)? (21 * 6) = 126
    1 point per person PER DAY ? for logging under all week and 64+ water (Mon-Sat)? (21 * 6) = 126
    5 points per team if ALL do ALL daily fitness challenges(Mon-Sat)
    5 points per team if ALL do ALL logging under and drink water daily all week (Mon-Sat)?
    so the total for the week could be (if all done):

    total team pounds lost + 126 + 126 + 5 + 5 = X points

    (so if someone missed 1 day they would contribute 5 points instead of 6)

    Or is it:

    1 point per pound
    1 point per person PER WEEK? for doing ALL week daily fitness challenge(Mon-Sat)? (21 * 1) = 21
    1 point per person PER WEEK ? for doing ALL week logging under and 64+ water daily (Mon-Sat)? (21 * 1) = 21
    5 points per team if ALL do ALL daily fitness challenges all week (Mon-Sat)?
    5 points per team if ALL logging under and drink water all week (Mon-Sat)?
    so the total for the week could be (if all done):

    total team pounds lost + 21 + 21 + 5 + 5 = X points

    (so if someone missed 1 day they would contribute 0 points instead of 1)

    Was asked for clarification and got confused! lol

    (Hope I haven't confused it further!)

    Thanks!

    The way I understood it is

    1 point per lb loss

    1 point per person for each daily challenge (21 per day max 6 = 126) additional 5 point if the entire teams does each challenge every day = 131

    1 point per person for each "weekly challenge" per day (20 per day max *6=126) and an additional 5 points if everyone completes this goal for the week = 131

    So potential 262 points plus weight loss points. (which is option #1 right?)
