    Love this! To be honest, most people DON'T reach 10 lbs, but it's a great motivational tool and a HUGE boost when some of them actually DO hit 10 lbs! Thanks for joining the challenge!

    So I've been doing some research on actual military basic training - be prepared for lots of push-ups, sit-ups, and some running... :devil:

    Don't forget burpees!

    All sound like fun. I'm sure my body will be hating me haha.

    You ready for this?!?!

    Rules:
    Weigh in every Friday (or whatever day you normally weigh in - and just post by Friday) on the spreadsheet
    If you don't log a starting weight by 10/7, you will be deleted from the spreadsheet
    If you don't log an updated weight for 2 weeks in a row, you will be deleted from the spreadsheet
    No negative comments

    Mini-Challenge for Week 1:
    >As always - 64oz water/day - just DO it!
    >360 push-ups...with a twist...this is only 60/day, but I want you to do it in 15 minutes...yes, that's all...60 push-ups in 15 minutes...4 per minute. I got this idea from a guy in spin class - he said they would do 1, 3, or 5 push-ups every minute for an hour and that it ended up being a KILLER ab workout. We might work up to that, but for now I just want you to do 4 per minute for 15 minutes. If you can't do a real push-up and need to be on your knees, that's fine, just do them somehow. (great for commercial breaks!!)
    >3 mile run - not necessarily all at once - divide it up however you like, but by the end of next Thursday, I want you to have ran 3 miles. If you can do it all in one shot - more power to you - if you have to walk it because you can't run - that's fine - just get in 3 miles on your feet.

    Not so bad, huh? Well - we still have 3 more weeks for me to add to it... :devil:

    Best of luck to everyone!!! :drinker:

    Push-ups... Do those already. Running... I love, but my foot doesn't. Better keep the ice pack and insurance card handy! LOL!!!

    Don't hurt yourself! You probably run more than 3 miles in a week chasing after all those kiddos, though!!

    Just FYI - mini-challenges are NOT required! If you already have a particular exercise schedule that's working for you and you don't think you can squeeze in the mini-challenges, don't. I would much rather have you participate and be successful than to try and get all of the mini-challenges completed and end up injuring yourself.

    The main goal is to do what you have to do for you!

    I'm excited! This is my first challenge, and being an Army wife, I am familiar with all the PT exercises my hubby does. I have my first 5K next weekend, so I will definitely get my 3 miles in! :)
