Take these at your own level - some people run or spin, others walk or do yoga - it's up to you. Do what you enjoy.
Also written by Ms. A-Rod - first paragraph of the challenge rules, talking about cardio sessions! :lol: I'll PM her to get some clarification. I understand what you're saying about pilates (and maybe yoga?) not necessarily getting your heart rate up a lot, but (for me, anyway), neither do some other activities counted as cardio. Maybe it's a matter of degree? As I said, I'll get A's input.
Pretty good week, considering I wasn't even a part of this challenge until yesterday! Here are the stats:
REQUIREMENTS:
Cardio: 4 workouts @ 5 points each = 20 points
Strength: 2 workouts @ 5 points each = 10 points
Water: 6/7 days @ 2 points each = 12 points
Goals: Met 3/3 goals @ 5 points each = 15 points
TOTAL REQUIREMENT POINTS: 57 POINTS
BONUSES:
Did 2 additional cardio sessions: 10 points
Did 2 additional strength-training sessions: 4 points
90 min workout on Sunday: 5 points
(Push it) Did an insane amount of cleaning/house jobs Wednesday: 2 points
(Push it) Did 3 different workouts on Thursday morning: 2 points
(Push it) Upped my weight amounts on Friday's workout: 2 points
(Push it) First-ever 90 minute workout! : 2 points
TOTAL BONUS POINTS: 27 POINTS
TOTAL POINTS: 84
I, too, created a spreadsheet to track all this - whew! New goals for this week:
- No eating after 9pm
- Do at least one load of laundry daily, start to finish (wash, dry, fold, put away)
- Pack all lunches/food for the day the night before
Let's go team! I'll cut and paste this to the official reporting spot once it's up - just wanted to get it on here since I had it all figured out. Hope you all had a great week!

| in response to the question about yoga/pilates, it's really up to you to count it however you count it. different types of yoga may generate a different workout benefit [i think?] ... really, workouts are what you make of them. up to you guys. ;) |

I agree with fellow posters who point out anything can be
as exertible as we make it. I can do some aerobics and
barely make it into target range, yet some PowerYoga
and certain Pilates moves can be exerting.
After figuring and posting my points for last week, the
first chance I got I started in on this week...
Goals:
1. Keep fruits and veggies very accessible (eg peeled, thawed,
sliced in frige where I can get them instantly).
2. Whenever I think of it make sure I am maintaining a good
posture.
3. After a workout and cooling down I will continue with stretches
and add: a relaxation/deep breathing session if only for a
few minutes.
That posted:
I did a cardio for 30 mins.
Lower body wt. workout for 15 mins.
