Well, I met my 3 personal goals. Got all my required cardio and strength workouts in, plus two bonus strength workouts. Drank my water every day. Got a Push-it bonus for doing weight-training after my long run. Did a 90 minute workout just now instead of the 30 minute workout I planned to do. So....my week 1 total = 70 points!
Week 2 goals:
1) Plan menu and workouts for the week
2) get at least 8 hours of sleep each night
3) get at least one outdoor workout |

I had an awesome day yesterday. The first thing I did when I got up was do my elliptical and strength workout. My sister and her husband were coming over at noon. Her husband was coming over to help my husband on a project and my sister and I were going hiking. I took her on my usual path but veered off to show her the vertical ascent we used to do when we were in shape. Well, she wanted to try it so........we did! It was an absolute killer but I did it--and without stopping once. It took me quite awhile to catch my breath but I was so proud of myself. Then I didn't realize that that particular route brought you up to another tough ascent so we did that one too. It was quite a workout. We finished that whole circuit and then decided to do a another one but a different route. When we finally hiked home, we were pooped but exhilerated. It was really great. And bonus points!!!!
Gotta head to work and I'll work on the scoring when I get home later this afternoon. Hope everyone had a great week. Get those tallies posted as soon as you can! |

2. Create the most amazing, energizing, motivating playlist ever for my workouts.
3. Start a paper fitness journal. It doesn't matter if it's in the perfect format, just do it! |

I've got a question:
A-Rod wrote Quote: 1. You get 5 points for each additional 30+ minute cardio workout you do. You can work out 5-7 days a week for an added 5-15 points, or double up on a particular day [e.g. get up and go running for 45 mins in the morning, and then go for a 30 minute walk in the evening].
IMHO this means you get 5 points for every cardio workout that exceeds the minimum of 4/week and that lasts longer than 30min. This however does not mean you get 5 extra points for every 30 minutes you add to a 30min workout.
e.g. a workout of 120min would get me 5 basic points for workout and 5 extra for being longer than 90min = 10 points
Or would it work like this: 5 basic points + 3x5 points (for 3x 30min extra) + 5 extra points for being longer than 90min =25 points?
It seems to me that some people count it the one and some the other way.
Thanks,
jabbah |

| I was counting it per session. Meaning that I only gave myself 5 bonus points for a 60 minute bonus session. |

Well, I'm sorry I'm coming in as the weak link this week. I've been debating about whether or not to drop out. I am getting ready to go on a big work trip in 3 weeks where I'll be recording an album and I am so busy typsetting/composing music and contacting all my singers plus trying to wrap up our homeschool year and get the house cleaned up before we go. It's really not a great time for me to have another commitment that takes so much time. There is no way I could devote a couple hours a day to exercising -- but I have discovered I can do some of the music editing with my headphones as I walk.
At any rate, I will hang in one more week and see if I can manage to crank up the exercise a couple of notches. If not, I'll let it go and keep cheering for you all! I am still new to SBD and am doing great on the weight loss. While I want to be motivated and build the habit of exercise, I also know that this month is not my prime time to be able to focus on that, and it just may not be realistic for me.
Anyway, congratulations to everyone! It looks like you all have done a fantastica job and are really taking advantage of this challenge! Go Shapeshifters! |

that is correct, jabbah ... you don't get 5 extra points every time you go over 30 minutes.
if your normal workout is 30 minutes, you can get 2 bonus points if you go longer AND IF that is a real push for you. i usually work out 45-60 minutes, so i'm not giving myself bonus points just for doing more than 30.
you get 5 bonus points for each ADDITIONAL 30+ minute cardio session, or you can give yourself 2-points "push it" bonuses if you're really working harder than usual and pushing yourself. be honest about them - don't be cheap!
having 100 points for a week seems high. 40 bonus points in a week seems high to me ... theoretically, if you worked out twice a day, you'd get 35 bonus points, so unless you're doing that ... |

Required strenght (2)--10 points
Water (7)--14 points
Goals met (3)--15 points
Bonuses:
extra cardio sessions (9)--45 points
extra strength sessions (5)--10 points
over 90 minutes (2)--10 points
pushing it (3)--6 points
upping incline on elliptical 10 degrees and leaving it there all week
adding 5 lbs of weight to chest press and tricep extension
climbing 2 killer hills, not stopping, and going an extra circuit
Total points--130 points
I was rewarded with a 4 1/2 pound weight loss this week--yahoo!
I have to go do a cardio and then I'll work on putting a week 2 thread and checking and tallying our points. |

| A-Rod, the way you explained the bonus cardio was that there was a possibility of doing 14 cardio sessions per week--two per day. Four are required--the rest are all bonuses. |

| Actually, if you worked out twice a day, that would be 14 workouts...20 base points and 50 bonus points. I did two-a-days on 5 days last week, plus one on each of the other two days. So 20 base points and 40 bonus points. |
