    Our final poem - unless someone wants to add to it/

    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.

    Drop it 'Cause we're hot
    We've exercised a lot.
    Our former challenges were met,
    And exciting new goals have been set
    So, give those tired muscles a shake,
    A give your best for the team's sake.

    Drop it ‘Cause we’re hot
    We give it our best shot.
    Being fit is not a hobby,
    Give a shout to RickyBobby.
    In Week One he lead the charge,
    For taking us to small from large.

    Drop it ‘Cause we’re hot.
    RickyBobby’s lost a lot
    BethanyCee and Jadery
    Account for places two and three.
    So get tough; it’s time to sweat.
    Let’s see how fit we all can get.

    Drop it ‘Cause we’re hot.
    We know we’ve lost a lot.
    But think of what we gained,
    Friendships to be maintained.
    So I ask that you keep at it,
    Let’s make fitness a new habit.

    Whoa! I don't know about you guys but the challenge today has made my legs hurt so I did not run today but I did walk. Because my regular workout today was pretty cardio intense I will do jumping jacks and crunches tomorrow. I am pretty whipped.

    From Gary:

    So some of you keep whining about needing another WEEKLY MINI CHALLENGE! SO here it is. I"ve done this and its a killer but oh......in such a good way! So you think your ready to go tribal and take on the bushmen way of life.....(Note: This is high intensity interval training if you have heart issues please consult a physician. These exercises are geared to top our your heart rate in 4 minutes flat.) I give you the tabata series..............It's only 4 minutes. LET ME SEE YOU DO THEM WIT YOR GIRLIE MUSCLES AN YOUR CHEERLEADER THIGHS! YA HANS AND FRANZ ARE HERE TO PUMP YOU UP! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DfuU3TSsFM&playnext=1&list=PLA2E34CD9004F5FD9 1 point for each team member that does it for every day they do it. WARNING Do this prior to your workout as a warm up. Don't sit down after this its bad for your heart. Keep moving and if you need to rest do a 2 minute cool down.

    If you need something easier for tabata training.....mwahahahah try this video....its easier.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ku-eOGXScOQ&feature=list_related&playnext=1&list=PLABE48DF21D853B59 Both of these are only 4 minutes!



    I don't know about you guys but I am all over this. If you are going to follow the 2nd video please be careful, there are a lot of people on there using terrible form. Trust me if your knees are going past your ankles (can't see your laces) then you are going to hurt yourself. It sounds dumb but stick your butt out like you are squatting outside to poop. I know, tmi, but your knees will thank you.

    Met all challenges, over on water, under on calories everyday so far. Today wasn't healthy as it could be, but fried chicken is my favorite food and need to indulge once in a while. Then there's the ice cream that has been screaming my name.

    Day 3: 20 Split Squat Jumps, 3 sets of 20 Wood Chops
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MhElJ779AU


    I don't know about anybody else but my body could sure use a good rubdown. Think I'm gonna book a message with a hot beefy man aka my other half. Probably got better luck going out and paying for one :laugh:

    Good luck to you all today. I will be doing the daily challenge, the mini tabata challenge plus the extra jumping jacks, crunches and maybe some mileage. Today is my rest day for my normal workout, thank god!

    A wake- up moment for me. I realized that more than 1/2 of you are the same age as my kids. I treat you all like peers; I should probably start treating them the same way.

    On an aside, I will be gone for the next two days. Son #1 got a job in Milwaukee and we are going apartment hunting.
    I will log in, but will probably not add to the thread until I return.

    Can everyone do the "tuck jumps?" I have a hard time doing them. Any alternatives to the required challenge exercise?
  • zukekitty
    zukekitty Posts: 185
    Something from yesterday strained my lower back. I did some modification to the globe jump, but still almost fell once. I wonder if that's what did it. I should have just let myself fall. Hoping it will get better throughout the day, but may have to take the day off and make it up.

    I have been dreaming of a massage as well. My gym membership includes 2 massages every month and am trying to save my last one for next Wednesday to reward myself for getting through the month.

    If you do any of the team challenges (mileage, crunches, jj) you can message me and I will add them in for you if you want.

    well, kind of an icky day as far as food goes...under calories, but high in carbs and low in protein :( well over my water for the day and completed the woodchop exercise challenge and modified the split jump squats to just 20 lunges on each leg since those jumps still dont make my legs happy :) i also added some jumping jacks and crunches to the team.

    Well, of course I didn't listen to the doctor; thought my back was fine. I was wrong; managed to irritate it again so no more challenges. I am sooo over this pain - I just want it gone. :mad: :grumble: I did manage to accomplish 50 crunches and added another mile to the mileage challenge. Calories are under and water is exceeded.

    Sorry team. No working out today, sore back, so I went over my calories too :( I drank plenty of water though. Hoping tomorrow is a better day.
  • Sorry for the late update, water intake has been met so far for the week, also challenges have been met & under calories. Go Team !!

    Hey team, this week has been an all around great one for me. I finally hit under 200 pounds (yesterday I was at 199.2) I've done great with food and water and excercising as well. I finally added my 3 miles from Tuesday night, and last night I added 50 crunches and 200 jumping jacks to our challenge. Where does everyone else stand? Come on guys, this is the last week. We can totally do this and meet the weekly challenges.

    Hey everybody! Sorry I've been out the past 6 days. Boot camp was killer! The equestrian team had to be at the barn at 7 every morning, and we usually didn't get back to campus til 8 or so! I'm ready to hop back on the wagon after a long week!

    God, I totally crashed last night. Got all of my challenges in ate dinner and passed out for the whole night. I didn't close my diary, I know I was way over calories, i was sooooooo hungry all day yesterday and held it off until dinner and just couldn't get the hunger to go away. I did do some jj, crunches and mileage so I will add to the list in a little bit. I share an office with my boss so I must be sneaky :wink:

    Please everyone, take care of your body. Fuel it and rest properly, I felt horrible last night. I think my body just gave up! Good luck to you all today.


    Day 4: 40 ZigZag Hops, 3 sets of 21’s, 2 sets of 15 Swimmer’s Press

    Still out of commission today. Send some good vibes my way that I'm up and about tomorrow. I realize I have the exercise addiction now because it's driving me crazy right now that I can't. No more jumping for me. I learned my lesson. Except maybe jumping jacks. I was OK with those.

    I'm in the same boat - It drove me crazy to not do anything so I turned to walking. I hope you feel better soon!

    I have a little to add from the last two days; so sorry I have been busy. I hope those of you with bad backs, joints and other body parts stay smart. Exercise is to help us, not cause pain and distress. Take the time you need to heal. I care about you all. Be careful.

    im sorry i didnt check in last night....after my workout i went home, took a shower and ate some peanut butter and went to bed :)
    i added 3 more miles for the team challenge. it took me 45 mins to get over 3 miles in on the treadmill and let me tell you, 45 mins is harder than it sounds when you choose the hill workout! :) i enjoyed it though! im slowly getting back into the beign able to enjoy running :) also figured out how to get a higher calorie burn from my p90x....do the p90x routine AFTER my hill workout! i burned 200 more calories doing my kenpo than i ever have before because my heart rate was already way up there from the hills. after kenpo managed to get 2 of my three challenges in for yesterday - zigzag hops and swimmers presses. needless to say, under caloires and way over water :)

    i will be adding jumping jacks and crunches today and tomorrow and definitly mileage sunday (maybe tomorrow too)

    hope everyone else had a good day yesterday and a good one today!
