    1/23 Monday - create your own tabata workout

    With this being the end of the month I hope you guys are ready for this task. We have done several different type of exercises in different routines. Today you need to create your own tabata style workout. This system is the 20 second exercise followed by 10 second rest. Your work out should have 4 different exercises and go for 8 minutes. Each rotation of the 4 exercises should take 2 minutes. That means 4 complete rotations.
    Ex....
    20 sec exercise 1 - 10 sec rest
    20 sec exercise 2 - 10 sec rest
    20 sec exercise 3 - 10 sec rest
    20 sec exercise 4 - 10 sec rest
    Repeat this 4 times - tell your team what 4 exercises you picked and post in the format above. Remember it is 20 seconds of one exercise with 10 secondary read followed by a different exercise. YOU DO NOT REPEAT THE SAME EXERCISE 4 TIMES AND THEN MOVE TO THE NEXT.

    INCLUDING EXERCISE CALORIES!

    I think multiple people are confused by this challenge. If you burn 1000 calorie from exercise you are not expected to eat an extra 1000 calories. However, you also shouldn't be super under on your calorie in take. So if you base calorie intake should be 1200 you shouldn't be eating only 1000 calories. You are allowed to eat between 1100-1300 calories per day UNLESS you eat extra to consume exercise calories. The reason why I include exercise calories is because some people eat more because of exercising. Does this make since?
    ---- So it should be 100 +/- your base calories unless you are eating back your exercise calories. If you eat back exercise calories do not go over more than 100 calories.
    Any other questions?

    1/24 Tuesday - abs
    Test your limits! Pick your favorite ab exercise (crunches, obliques, bicycle crunches etc). Complete as many of this one exercise as you can in 5 minutes. Pick a second exercise and do as many as you can in 5 minutes.

    Report back to your team what two exercises you picked and how many you completed of each exercise in your 10 minutes.

    Sorry for the delay with the post today. Yesterday I crashed super early and then this morning I have been dealing with a flair up in my leg.
    We only have 4 days of active days left in this challenge. That means it is time to start forming teams again. Look for the post later today on the new month.

    Hi! Thanks for posting both of these. Out of curiosity does swimming count? Just finding out for MonkeyLost :)

    Thanks! x

    Yes, swimming counts. Let me think about how many points per mile.

    Partial miles also count so if you do 1.35 miles report it like that to your captain.
