mondy the &th.s challenge
WATER DOES NOT COUNT FROM SATURDAY ON....THERE IS NO EXTRA POINTS FOR MONDAY FOR ANYTHING!!! I will annouce the DAILY challenge at random this week.
After having a rest day on Sunday we are going to have a hardCORE Monday.
50 crunches/sit ups
25 righ oblique crunches
25 left oblique crunches
30 bicycle crunches VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L8BIvIu5pU&feature=BFa&list=PL384172C6326E29EF&lf=rellist
35 bridge VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUNiGFvb0qY
30 plank intervals (by this I mean start with arms extended then lower one arm to rest on your forearm and then lower the other so you are in a lower plank. Hold for a few seconds and then raise back up one arm at a time). Each complete revolution counts as one. VIDEO: FIRST ONE SHE DOES!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwmSDIVpDuo
Just like week one you can break these up into a circut of your choice. However, do your best to keep this as one workout. The easiest way to break it up is into 5 sets but you are free to do it as you would like.
If you are wanting to take it up a notch then do this video BEFORE you start your workout.

Here is the workouts for the next week. I hope you guys like them.....
I am trying to listen to feedback and keep things ever changing. I am trying to keep each day different and focus on different areas. I will have some days that are filled with exercises that you are use to doing and other days will have new exercises to give you a wider knowledge of what is out there. I hope that you guys all appreciate that I am giving you a week worth of exercises in one day. It is def time consuming to think of workouts and then find videos to go with each exercise. I have also tried to increase difficulty as we are moving on. If these are too hard or you need a modification please message me and we will see what we can work out.

The last daily challenge for this week will be on THURSDAY! It is a miles challenge based on how many miles you walk/run. If they are biked then divide by 4 === bike 100 miles will equal 25 miles. Any other questions?
Next week we will have a week long challenge again. It will be 1 point for each day you stay UNDER or smack on your calorie goal. Each person can earn a max of 6 points for the team....30 extra points all together. This means you have to track ALL of your food intake.
Good luck everyone!
I know we have some runners in our group. Let's see how many miles we can put together for tomorrow! Come on ladies!!!0 -

Thank you so much for doing this! I run all the core conditioning for the track team in the spring and I'm getting all sorts of ideas on how to torture the middle schoolers!0
