The Killer Guppies Dragon Boat Team

Alright Guppies, this week’s challenge is jump roping. We’re shooting for a team goal of 2000 minutes. Same deal, if more Guppies contribute, the less you would have to jump, hypothetically. But that doesn’t mean it should stop you form doing more! Remember jump roping requires more than just legs, it can strengthen your mind by training it to stay focus. That focus is important when it comes to racing. Also it will definitely get your heart pumping which is what a good cardiovascular exercise should do.

Here are the guide lines. Any kind of jump roping activity is acceptible, just so long as it is continuous. Or as long as it adds up to a solid minute. If you don’t have a jump rope, jumping jacks can work in place of jump roping. And don’t forget to report your time to Rebecca!! So do your part and jump a little!

Alright Guppies, this week’s Work Out challenge is the plank. No, not working the plank, but doing a solid plank. Our target goal is 600 minutes TOTAL!

So how do you go about doing a solid plank? Check out this link here: http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/abdominalcorestrength1/qt/plank.htm

Just think, if 40 members do 3 minutes, 7 days a week… well then we’ve well exceeded our goal. Plus it’s the road to tighter abs! So do your part today!

Call all Guppies!! Have we got a challenge for you!!

As some of you heard, as an effort for us to be the fittest we can be, our fitness staff has concocted a challenge for us to achieve each week. Last week, our goal was to hit 2000 minutes of cardio exercise as a team. This week our goal is 1000 floors!! Think about it, if 25 people manage to walk 40 floors this week, then we’ll hit our max. That’s only 25 people. Say 40 people particpated, then that’s only 25 floors.

But think how easy it is to walk up a flight of steps instead of taking the elevator. Not to mention working out your gluts and thighs! So come on Guppies, let’s show the fitness staff that we mean business!!
