Everyone did awesome today!!
Jumping Jacks challenge is over and the OWL leaders are Jenn_W and lhurtubise!
Crunches are this week's exercise challenge! One OWL per set of 25!
We'll keep water for our NEWTs, but I'm going to calculate it a little differently this time.
How's one NEWT for every cup of water sound? Awarding one NEWT per day of meeting the water goal is resulting in a lot of people with the same number of NEWTs.0 -
ok final total 10 sets of 20 jumping jacks and 20 cups of water so i filled my 32oz water bottle up 5 times. how do you guys track the jumping jacks on exercise tracker? I just start my phone's stop watch then stop it when i need a breather and repeat till i'm done then just add the total minutes to my exercise tracker
That seems like a good way to do it!0 -
So, I weighed in and I'm 168, so I'm down seven pounds.
As far as jumping jacks... yeah, I've not done them...
But I vote for crunches.
I despise push-ups.
Also, this is my fifth day in a row!

lost 1lb in my first week! well proud! :happy:0

Gained 2lbs since yesterday so today I am in an awful mood! Very disappointed
Feeling a lot better today though so I'm going to work on losing the extra weight. We're now onto our crunches challenge aren't we?
Well done to everyone who did the jumping jacks challenge, you all did amazingly!0 -
cw: 193.2
jumping jacks - 3 sets of 20
hope everyone is having a great weekend!0 -
Ok, so I'm not hugely into crunches, but that's the point of doing this right, mix things up a bit. Guess that means I'll get some extra ab work in this week. And just to throw the idea out there, whenever I do my sets, I plan on doing one set of regular crunches and one set of reverse crunches or oblique crunches so that I work my whole core throughout the week.
Good luck everyone!!0 -
Good Morning Everyone. I'm just heading out to spend another day with my visiting daughters ... today it's out for breakfast, pedicures, afternoon tea, more shopping, and the casino. It's fun but truly exhausting ... and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Anyway, hoping to hop back on later in the day to see how we're all doing. Have a great day.

Good morning all! Hey Hufflepuffin-do you want us to share our crunches/water each day or just at the end of the week? I was a little late joining in the group so I missed last week's challenge but am starting today:-)0
-
what a great idea i will be mixing it up with my crunches have already done 100 (4 sets today) of the standard crunches but will defo do the reverse and oblique so my target today is 100 of both of those and see where i go from there as i have some calories i need to burn off from my sunday roast0

So, I've got some questions.
What's NSV?
And reverse crunches?0 -

I like the idea of getting counted for each cup of water. Yay for crunches! I'm going to get started.0

I managed 2 sets of crunches today, plus 10 cups of water 0

You can do whatever feels right to you. If you'd rather keep a running total for yourself and report it all at once, that's fine.
I check the Common Room multiple times a day, though.. so if you do post daily I'm unlikely to miss it.0 -
NSV- I have been very sick and the dr told me I could eat only ice cream ... I said no thank you and took the italian ice which is 40 calories and the ice cream was over 450. Yay me! Even though I feel like I am on my death bed I still remembered my calories! I have been drinking nothing but water so I definitely made that daily goals. I'll get on my crunches when I get out of the hospital. Hopefully I can do this challenge but if I have an emergency tonsillectomy then I probably won't be able to get this one done. :mad:0

No worries about the challenge! Your health is more important. Feel better soon!0 -
Sort of an NSV for me.
I only ate one plate at the Chinese Buffet. Oh how I adore Chinese food...0 -
6 sets of crunches and 8 cups of water 0

Today's NSV for me? I learned I can do crunches without hurting myself by using a yoga ball!! Still tough since I have very little core strength but it didn't hurt my back or my neck. Woo Hoo!! I'll report my number of sets a little later when I've finished my day.

Okay ... so I did 75 crunches (3 sets) and I drank 10 glasses of water today. I'm off to bed now. Sweet Dreams my MFP Badgers.0

OMG!! You are a Genius!! I totally forgot about my Exercise Ball!! I googled different ways to do crunches!! Yay!! Fun!!
I will edit when I finish how many sets I get in!!
**I did 8 sets of 25 crunchies (50 Thanks to 30 Day Shred!)
At least 15 glasses (8oz) of water... I work out a ton, thus drink a ton more... Maybe we should have a max number that count a day?0 -
