I have made a place to record your points in the tracking chart, and I have changed the crunched to include any ab workout aslong as you complete 50 reps

This weeks challenge might help people that are a little behind in the points. you can earn points by working out. 50 push ups is worth a point for men 30 for girls. 50 crunches is worth a point, every mile you run is worth a point, every 3 miles you bike is worth a point, every 10 pull-ups is worth a point. that is really all the workouts that i can think of so if you have other workouts that you think should be on the list post a message or email me and i will put them on. you get to add what ever points you earn to your score, good luck everyone.

sorry for not putting a challenge up this week sunday and monday my computer wasn't working and then i was in salt lake hanging out with matt before he left there will be a challenge this week. i just haven't thought of it yet, if anyone has any ideas let me know.

The winners for week to are as follows: Justin with 12 point, Cortney with 10 points, and a tie for third between Tracy and Ben with 9 points each.

This weeks challenge is a little different than the first two. This week you need to find time to go on a date with your husband or wife, but not just any date. This date needs to be something active. You can go workout together, play some type of sport, rock climb, it really doesn't matter what your date is as long as you are getting some exercise. It is my hope that by completing this challenge you will be able to find something that both you and your significant other enjoy doing that will help keep you healthy. Everyone that does it will receive bonus points.

Oops! We forgot to post our photos.

week one winners

First Place - Ben 15 miles
Second Place - Bethany 13.08 miles
Third Place - Cortney 12.7 miles

Week 2 challenge

This week everyone will be trying to increase their time spent working out. Everyone is already trying to work out 30 min a day so for every additional 15 min that you spend working out you will get a point. The three people that have the most points will win the weekly challenge bouns points. I have made a place to record your points on the chart right under where your miles from last week are recorded

Week one Miles

Just so everyone is on the same page. Tracy and a few others had a good idea of making a row on the chart to list their miles for week one, so i went ahead and made a row for everyone. so sometime tomorrow post your miles in it and i will award the weekly challenge bonus points. first place will get 6 second 4 and third 2. i will also be adding a point to everyone that posted a picture on the blog.

just a reminder to get the pictures up the due date is tomorrow. also we need to deter the way we want to do points for the weekly challenge winner. My thought is to have a first second and third and they receive points. 1st would get 6 2nd 4 and 3rd 2.

Prophetic Support for the Challenge

In perusing the new Gospel Principles book, I discovered a quotation that I thought might be inspirational to all those participating in the challenge:

"A latter-day prophet has told us that we should keep our bodies healthy. He counseled, "Nutritious meals, regular exercise, and appropriate sleep are necessary for a strong body, just as consistent scripture study and prayer strengthen the mind and spirit." --President Monson (Gospel Principles, pg. 170)

Here's to keeping our bodies healthy and strengthening our minds and spirits! Two days down...

In order to win this week’s bonus points you will need to travel farther than anyone else. You can use anyone of the following methods, running/elliptical, biking, or swimming, you just need to keep track of the miles that you go. In an effort to make things a little more even every three miles on a bike equals a mile and every ten minutes spent swimming equals a mile.
