OK Red Team......are you ready for a Red Team Challenge????? Now don't forget that this is in addition to the General BL Challenge of drinking water!!!!!

The challenge for this week is to do 100 crunches per day!!! It may soun like a lot for some of us but if you break it down you can do 50 in the am 50 in the pm. Or get all 100 out of the way. If you can not do crunches (back issues) do squats or leg raises. But make your number 100 per day!!!! We can do this!!! let me know on here how you are doing!!!

ALSO.......AS SUGGESTED BY ONE OF OUR TEAM MATES, LET'S TAKE BEFORE PICS!!! tHIS WILL BE A GREAT WAY TO REMEMBER WHAT WE USED TO LOOK LIKE....BECAUSE THAT WILL ONLY BE A MEMORY!!!! IT WILL BE FUN TO SEE THE TRANSFORMATIONS AT THE END!!!!!!

Good Luck RED Team!!!!!!!!:smokin:

    well, i already had Abs on my workout plan for today, but was thinking more like 25...so I will have to kick it up! BTW great article in Jan issue of Oxygen mag, explaining loud & clear what eating sugar does to your body and your goals. I'm copying the photo and putting on my mirror!

    YES! Come on people! A 100 is NOTHING. There's a variety of different ways of doing crunches/set ups. For those of you just starting I suggest simple crunches, for those of you who gym often (I am talking about myself here as well) I say 100 crunches but alternate them in terms of difficulty, legs up, or even change them to set ups. Break em down. I don't do any crunches on my day to day routine so this is going to be a fantabulous challenge!!

    GO TEAM RED!

    Abs work out? I like all the work out except abs. It's the hardest for me and probably I need it the most.
    But.. I have choice but to do it!

    Drank my whole 8 glasses of water....did all of my 100 sit-ups and even did my new Zumba for the Wii. It is the first time I have actually worked out in about 4 months. It felt amazing. I have to say.....I wouldn't have done the sit-ups without the challenge. Thanks for pushing me!

    I am in the same boat... I am taking before, during and after pictures all with the same outfit on, but I am going to reserve posting them until I have something to brag about...lol

    ok, so I am one of the "dumb people", (which is one of the reasons pam posted a link on how to do crunches), so my crunches I dont think were done right today but tomorrow I will do them the way they show in the video. I will try to do some before bed tonight, but otherwise I will do 25 in the morning when I wake up, 25 before going to the gym, 25 while my daughter naps, and 25 before I go to bed tomorrow night. That should equal 100.

    I really need to do this because I am unhappy:( with my belly. I lose weight but never the belly.

    I did my 100 crunches for the day. Do we need to post every day saying whether or not we've completed the challenge for that day? I haven't been posting about the water, though I have been doing 8 glasses/day.

    TGIF Red Team!!!!!!!!!!! I am sooo happy to hear that everyone is doing the challenges.....and feeling good about it!!!! just to answer a few questions. With regards to the BEFORE pictures, this is for your own personal keepsake! If at any point you want to share it with the group u are more than welcomed. Abou the challenges, you do not have to post on here if you have completed them on a daily basis.....BUT I find it makes u more accountable if you do and it also encourages the rest of us to do it!!!! Let's support each other!!!!!! You guys are all doing so great!!!!!!!! - 4 days to weigh in!!!!!!!!! Are we going to keep the momentum going throughout the weekend???? I hope so!!!!!!! I am here for any moral support!!!!!!!

    Pam:)
