I challenge each of you and myself to do at least 30 minutes of cardio everyday until Thanksgiving Day!!

Maybe we can offset some calories we may intake the day of the Big Event! Maybe we can feel better for the Big Event! Maybe we can get a compliment on the Big Event!

I guess there really isn't a loser... win/win situation!

How about a challenge to read or watch one Sparkpeople article, blog, video a day for a week?

Different type of challenge!

Support each other!! At least 3 times this week, post on another team member's blog. Yes, that would mean you would need to blog!!

I generally don't do upper, lower, and core on the same day. I'll have to figure out a way to join in without cutting back on your workout too much. If I only do one body part a day I guess I'll have to do more sets or something to get a good workout in.

Thanks for posting the workouts.

I drink 8-10 glasses of water every day. I just bought the bootcamp dvd, so I'm trying it later today.

2 different workouts....depends on your fitness level! Upped the ante...

Easier of the 2:
3 sets of 12 wall pushups with 30 seconds of rest in between
3 sets of 12 sumo/plie squats with 30 seconds of rest in between
3 sets of 25 basic crunches with 30 seconds of rest in between

Adding: step ups on a low step 20 times between sets or march in place for 20 steps...depends on your fitness level.

Harder of the 2:
easy jog for 3-5 minutes
1 set of 15 counter top pushups
1 set of 15 lunges each side
1 set of 20 sumo or plie squats (same squat, just different name!)
1 set of 20 basic crunches
1 set of 20 reverse crunches
1 set of 20 double crunches
easy jog for 1 minutes between sets. Total of 4 sets!!!

Concept of the 2nd one is to get and keep your heart rate up.

I know this is under fitness challenge, but I would like to do a little fruit and veggies challenge!

5 fruits and veggies (total) each day this weekend.

The KC team is doing the same challenge. I'm thinking we should start do team vs team challenges. It might motivate some of us to "represent" our team and ourselves better!!

Good Luck and have a fabulous weekend!

That would be awesome, but the actual challenge is for the weekend. I thought we would start small and work our way up to the city wide team challenge!
