Alright guys. You're doing great so far! Tomorrow we will be earning bonus points in the form of calories burnt. That means 1 point or every 100 calories our team burns. So make sure you track how many calories you burn tomorrow & post it here!!!!
I don't know the exercises for tomorrow yet, so I will let you know asap.0 -

Workout for tomorrow was just posted! Here ya go:
Tuesday =leg day
100 jumping jacks
40 squat kicks (squat then kick right leg kick left leg squat)
1 mile run/walk on top of what you already had planned for the day. If 1 mile is easy make it a 5k
50 toe touches -- feet shoulder width with hands on hip. Bend as waist touch toes and back uo to hands on hips
60 calf raises --- can be done on flat ground. Add weight or a ledge to increase difficulty
10 one leg squats on each leg
Don't forget that your team is also earning bonus points for your TOTAL calorie burn for the day. This includes your full workout and not just what you burn doing this leg workout.0 -
Is there anyway we can substitute the running for something else and just do the other excercises too? I'm asking because today isn't a running day for me. And by the time I get home it's dark and I like to run outside. I usually run on Mon, Wed and Fri mornings and the rest of the week I do about a 60 min - 90 min workout from home. I just don't want to mess up what we have going on as a team.0

Yeah, i wasn't thrilled to see a 1 mile run thrown in the middle of all of these leg exercises either. By the time I get home and get to do these, going out for a 1 mile run/walk in the dark isn't going to happen. My "thought" was to do the 1 mile speed walk at lunch and just do the rest later in the day. I know that's not what you're supposed to do, but, I work full time and I need to modify my workouts to fit my life - that's part of learning how to be successful at being active.0

I think that as long as we're doing something and burning cals is the goal. I know that tonight I'm going home and doing some Insanity: The Asylum and then I'll do the other portion of our challenge.0

Welcome to all the new ladies :bigsmile:. Today is a super burn for me so I will make sure I report later.0
-
Hmmm. I just asked bmfrazie if we can substitute. I wonder if you guys could just do stairs or something. or do more of everything else.
I will let you know asap.0 -
I saw her response "walk or jog around the house for 18 minutes or use a treadmill".0

Kickboxing. I swear by it. You burn a lot of calories. Others on here do Zumba, you dont burn as much as kickboxing but you do burn a lot.0
