Any thoughts on a team name???
In these weekly team posts, everyone should be posting their WEEKLY GOALS. You don't have to post an exercise schedule if you don't want to, you just have to get your cardio and water requirements in throughout the week. You do have to post goals for the week, though. In the week two team post, everyone will post their RESULTS [I'll have a template for that] plus their goals for the following week.
These weekly chats will also be our team's forum to cheer each other on, talk about our progress and plans, etc. I hope it will be motivational!
Does anyone have questions? |

| Checking in! Glad to be on your team A-Rod! :) I'm really looking forward to this challenge (I kinda disapointed myself in the last challenge and did not make as good as I thought I'd make). Oh well, I'll certainly try to make this one better!! :D |

Hi all
I can't wait to get started...but I have to say that I'm glad I'm not in a challenge this week...I have a cold and it's kicking my !!@@. I don't care if I eat or what I eat, and I can't work out without running out of breath or feeling like I'm going to pass out. Don't worry team, it'll be gone by Monday! |

YAY TEAM!!!
i am proud that we have the most checked-in participants. 8) where are raynjen and LadyVenom?! then we are all accounted for.
so what is everyone's workout plan going to consist of? i just started a training program in prep for the hood to coast relay in august ... i'm an alternate for the team at my office and apparently they always need last minute runners. even if i don't get to run, it's great training.
i'm doing 1-2 mile runs plus 30-45 mins of crosstraining twice a week ...
3-4 mile runs twice a week ...
and a big ugly run every saturday, starting with 3 miles and increasing by one mile every two weeks!
i am still in disbelief about being able to run 8 miles in just 12 weeks, but apparently it can be done. for crosstraining, i go to spinning classes, use the elliptical machines at the gym, hike when i can, and have just started doing geeky water aerobics type things in the pool at my apartment. they're good for resistance.
i have been seeing really slow to nonexistent weight loss [like a pound or two a MONTH] for a long time, so i'm hoping this training program will really help. i recently cut out wheat products, so we'll see if that helps. otherwise, just trying to eat clean and eat a little more, as i fear i've been undereating slightly.
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE! this is going to be so fun. |

Hi A-Rod
I'm doing phase 3-4 of Power 90 which consists of 3 Sweat routines per week (including stretch, power yoga, low and high impact aerobics and kickboxing) and 3 Circuit routines (lots of push-ups, lunges, squats, biceps, triceps, quads, calves, butt, back, shoulder and ab exercises.) I'm still trying to figure out what I'll do for the extra cardio workout, maybe a 30 minutes interval workout on my elliptical? I also do the AB Ripper 200 every day (takes about 15 minutes, all ab exercises). This workout routine actually ends for me at the end of this challenge, so it works out great!
After the challenge, I haven't decided if I'm going to do the Slim in Six workouts, Project You, or Turbo Jam. I have them all, just not sure which one I'll transition to.
BTW, I know it's corny, but for a name ....JUMPIN JUNEBUGS |

that sounds like a good program, ftanya .. lots of variety. you can switch up your exercise week to week for the challenge - just wanted to make sure you knew that. you can do whatever works for ya!
i figure i'll post my three goals for next week:
1. stick to training program SEVEN OUT OF SEVEN DAYS and do NOT slack off on miles!
2. eat clean, with two small treats and one non-overboard treat meal for the week
3. do core exercises on off days for back strength |

I've picked back up with Week 3 of the Couch-to-5k program and want to continue with that. I would like to get in at least two days of 30-45 minute walking sessions in on the off-running days.
I have been using my resistance band for bicep, tricep, lateral raises. I'd like to work more muscle groups with the bands and that just means doing a little research. I'd like to work my core with my ball too, but again, it's just a matter of getting a plan. Looks like I'll need to formulate on of those in the next couple of days! Suggestions would be welcome.
My three goals:
1) Eat cleanly with the exception of one meal and two small treats.
2) Eat enough. That tends to be one of my constant issues.
3) Exercise five of seven days. |
