    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I saw her response "walk or jog around the house for 18 minutes or use a treadmill".

    How did you burn that much doing our challenge? I'm jealous :huh: . I did a 45 min workout (Turbo Fire) and then did the challenge exercises and only burned about 390.

    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.
