Week 2, Day 5
LADIES, LADIES, LADIES!!!
What has happened to the level of enthusiasm from our team?? Where did everyone go? I'm a little disappointed to see everyone fizzle out so quickly. We're almost half way there!! We should be encouraging our teammates!!
I know I haven't been doing as much as I'd like, but I'm trying my best to be there for all of you!!
I hope you're keeping track of your "EXTRA" miles walked/jogged/ran/biked/ellipticalized, etc...
Everyone has done a great job keeping calories under goal and water consumption up!
Today's challenge:
50 Globe jumps + 100 Jumping Jacks + 100 Stair Climbs (jog or run)
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKKKNR5USXc )
We can do this! We're almost finished!!!

Week 2, Day 3
HOLY CRAZINESS! We are ALL in BEAST MODE now! It's Thursday so that means we are on the downside of the week!!! We are really kicking August's butt!!
We've kicked the squat kicks, handled the swimmer's press and extra mile, crunched the sit-ups and mountain climbers.
For today: we have 3 sets of 21 and 100 jumping jacks! I know how much we love the jacks so let's get it done, BEAST style!! The 21's are best done with a barbell, but if you don't have access, cans of soup or water bottles are a good substitute. If you aren't sure about the 21's, here's the video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xLcsg-5Dw8
You are all doing a great job and I'm looking forward to the results at the end of the week!!!
