Week 2:

Introduction/ and why joined challenge & read: 'The Keys to Conquering Cholesterol-Do's and Don'ts For a Healthy Heart": only if joining as a newbie this week.

Weight in today for your point!!!!

Checking in/ e-mailing will not change.

Nutrition will not change.

Cardio/ST/ rest day the points will not change (only the exercises)

Strength Training:
Push-ups are one of the best all over exercises for strengthening and toning the chest/upper back/arms….so they stay for week 2.
The challenge is to increase the level of push-ups. If you are doing:
WALL PUSH-UPS = LOWER REPS TO 1X10 ‘GIRLY’ PUSH-UPS
‘GIRLY’ PUSH-UPS = LOWER REPS TO 1X10 PUSH-UPS
PUSH-UPS = INCREASE TO 3X12

But will replace the others with:
Dumbbell Lateral Raises
Dumbbell Triceps Extension
Day 1 = 1x10 / day 2 = 2x10/ day 3 = 3x10


Q: HOW MANY POINTS DO I COUNT IF I DID NOT DO ALL?
A: Nutrition has 6 things in it
1)water
2)fruits & veggies
3)fat
4)cal
5)carbs
6)cholesterol
YOU GET 2 POINTS FOR EACH IN RANGE...ALL 6 GETS YOU THE 15 POINTS.

10 points everyday for emailing team
5 points for checking in on this thread daily
