TEAM RANGED: CHALLENGE OF THE LIVING DEAD PART 2 - CLOSED

All right week 2 (of part 2!)

Let's talk PERSONAL WEAPONS!

..................Uhhhhhhh.

Ha. uhhhh. Oh ok here's mine!
MyFitnessPal is a great site that I use to track the food I eat and participate in fun challenges with other people who are trying to get fit!

(Haha, I got it first so none of you can use it now!!!)

*cough*

Uh in case that doesn't count -- I live in California where any restaurant with more than 20 locations MUST post calories on their menus. And this is totally making my weight loss happen, if I had to try and cook healthy meals at home all the time or eat frozen meals or something I would probably not be doing as well.

(was that a better one?)

ok my personal challenge is to eat more fruit and veg - get yoghurt for my smoothie maker!
so i guess my weapon could be a big knife - for chopping all that fruit and veg!

i don't have a stepper but do have stairs, just wondering how i count it, there are 14, is it 7 each time up?

{This was in the main thread, but I didn't see it here. Hope no one minds . . .}



WEEK 8 (8/29-9/4)
CHALLENGE POSTED BELOW....

*****************
STORYLINE
*****************
It’s been a grueling haul. You’re in desperate need of basic supplies and you’re exhausted after facing all the zombies lurking on the cliffs. You do, however, feel a glimmer of relief knowing you made it to the 25 mile mark. This place is barren and deserted, with the exception of the undead laying all over. You can tell there’s been no sign of life for a while. Off in the distance you see a small hill that seems to be out of place.

The team heads over the pitted terrain, being careful to kill the undead that are awakening at the smell of human life again. Once you arrive to the bunker, you search for something to get the door open. Shouts from your teammates are heard…“I’ve got my crowbar”…”You can use my grenade”…”I’ve got a machete”…All of you have been carrying various survival items in your pack. LANTERN823 takes a pickaxe to the door and breaks the lock. Anticipation builds as you join together in attempts to bust the door open. It’s heavy, you cannot do it alone, several of your teammates help you and the door finally swings open.

With your adrenaline still racing…you peer into the bunker only to find...empty darkness! BABYDULL lights a flare and tosses it down. It seems to go for eternity…but it finally hits the bottom. It’s difficult to see with the nothing but the light of the flare, but you refuse to waste your supplies. BRENTGETSFIT & MELISSARAETERRY volunteer to go first. As they begin to make their way, they realize some of the steps are missing…they warn the teams that they’ll have to lower themselves down over the missing steps to ensure everyone makes it down safely.

You and your team can only imagine what awaits you down there. Would there be other survivors…Bountiful supplies…More ammunition…Radio communication? You won’t know until you make quick work of those stairs…and be careful on those missing steps!

***************************
CHALLENGE SUMMARY
***************************
To Make 100% Of This Week’s Challenge…You’ll Need To Complete:

*Choose A Personal Weapon & Share It With Your Team (To Help You Along The Way)
*2500 Stairs (To See What Awaits You Inside)
*60 Tricep Dips (Lowering Yourself Over The Missing Steps)

*************************
CLARIFICATION / BACKGROUND
*************************

*Choose A Personal Weapon: This is an item you carry in your survival pack and would not be able to make it without. You must share a tip with your team…something that keeps you going on your weight loss/fitness journey (your key to survival). Share your weapon with your team.

*Only GOING UP THE STAIRS counts. Even though the bunker is underground…this challenge is to go UP 2500 stairs. You can use actual stairs in your home or a building…or a stair climber type machine.

*Aerobic steps or Wii steps do count, however, a four-count (up, up, down, down) is considered 1 Step.

*This is a re-visit of our very first challenge in July. We had to get out of the building by climbing stairs. Let’s see how far you’ve come…and for those who just joined us…make great work of those stairs…we may see them again.

*Tricep Dips can be as low or high intensity as you choose (here are some examples)
Bent Leg: http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/exercises.asp?exercise=124
Straight Leg: http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/exercises.asp?exercise=125

As always, challenge yourself to do the highest percentage you can...If you have any questions or need modifications...let your captain know.

Have A Fabulous Week!
Get To It

Took place on the football field, six sets of 10 dips, jog across the field sprint up the hill run down jog back across the field then run up the 30 steps! Not to mention every bathroom break a walk up and down 3 flts of stairs twice (60 total) I'm going to make this challenge my B**** !!!! haha
