You failed to mention that the new challenge is posted, but thanks to your post I took a look So all humans sign up in the spreadsheet

Mmmmmhhh, looks sooo delicious... ...Donauwelle?

Squats are should be no problem... I was holding back on them for my workout days, but I can sneak them in easily... well I guess for every 5 pushups I could do 15 squats. We still got some time until Sunday.

Good job Jothra! Oh man, I just can do set of 5 regular pushups, since that's hard enough for me Anyway, still I can up the frequency to match yours... And yes, they have several workout animals in the other teams

Oh my god, the dwarfs, hobbits and elves are beating the magma out of this Balrog. Attack humans, attack!

Summary week 1: Since I won't have time tomorrow to write an update, let me summarize this week already now: I started late into this challenge, but nonetheless kept my schedule: - On Wednesday and Friday I had my workouts for this week and now have a break until Monday. Thus I am on track for goal 1 and 3. - I was thorough with my food log, keeping track every day. Full points for goal 2. Also: Thanks to starsapart for asigning me quickly to the Human Assassin Group. I joined the Mini-Challenge 1 on Wednesday and since I have to walk quite a lot to and from work, I managed an average of about 4-5 km. Additionally I had a nice walk with my wife on Friday that got me another 3 km or so. Here are the detailed numbers: Wednesday: 4.78 km Thursday: 4.58 km Friday: 8.02 km Sum so far: 18,38 km I have a busy day today and tomorrow, but I am positive that I will do some more km. Go, Humans! [edit:] Saturday: 2.63 km Sum so far: 21.01 km [another edit] Sunday: 3.56 km Final total: 24.57 km

Hi everyone! I am a bit late to the party, but nevertheless exited to join this fellowship. Have to walk now, catch you later

Pheww, I'm a bit late, but still want to be part of this. Since I strayed from the road to awesomeness in my last challenge, then skipped the next challenge, I am back to basics: Main Quest: "There and back again..." Goal: Continue to follow the path to a healthy lifestyle following the advice of the ones who did this before Description: It is most important for me right now to get back to a regular workout schedule, to log my food again and get that 1 Pull-up done. This Quest is fulfilled if all three main missions have been successful (at least B rating ) . Reward: TBD Mission 1: "Let's hunt some Orc..." Goal: Continue with 2-3 scheduled workout per week (total 17) and reach Lv. 3 of the Bodyweight Brigade path Description: I think I found a good rhythm in my workout Schedule which means I train 2-3 times per week (this week 2, next week 3 times). Already I get used to the stress put on my body by the exercises, except for push-ups and inverted rows, where I have to choose easier variants. But the important thing is that I already see progress, which motivates me and makes me confident that I can reach Lv. 3. Ratings: A - Trained hard for 17 workouts, Reached Lv. 3 B - Trained hard for 15 workouts, Reached Lv. 2 C - Trained hard in 12 workouts, Reached Lv. 2 D - Trained for 8 workouts, Reached Lv. 1 Reward: TBD Attributes: +2 STR, +2 STA, +1 DEX mission 1 progress 35.3%35.3% Mission 2: "What about second breakfast?" Goal: Log your food, dude! Everyday, so 7 times 6 is .... ehhh.... 42, yes 42 times food logging! Description: See goal Ratings: A - Logged 42 times B - Logged 39 times C - Logged 35 times D - Logged 30 times Reward: TBD Attributes: +4 WIS, +1 CON mission 2 progress 100%100% Mission 3: "Toss me! Don't tell the elf..." Goal: 1 clean Pull-up Description: One clean Pull-Up! Because it's awesome! How: Follow Steve's training in this post Ratings: A - One Clean Pull-Up! B - Still stuck with the negative and assisted Pull-Ups/Chin-Ups , but at least trained hard for it in 17 workouts. C - Still stuck with the negative and assisted Pull-Ups/Chin-Ups , but at least trained for it in 13 workouts. D - Still stuck with the negative and assisted Pull-Ups/Chin-Ups , and just trained for it in 9 workouts. Reward: TBD Attributes: +4 STR, +1 STA mission 3 progress 17.6%17.6% Summaries: week 1 week 2 week 3 week 4 week 5 week 6 and challenge summary

Hi, I'm late to this challenge, so I sit this one out. Or to be precise, try to get into training mode again. Anyway, I wish you all a lot of fun!

Long time no see! Did you finish your challenge strong, Rabeck?

Mmmmmh, sooo, what happened here while I was away?

Ah, so I wasn't the only one that dropped the ball. Well, better luck to us next time.

Well, second challenge did not work out so well. While the next challenge already started without me I'll use the time to get back on the horse.

Since I hate to leave loose ends unattended, I finally sum up the weeks 3-6 and my challenge here. To make it short: I strayed from the path towards awesomeness and did nothing to reach my goals in the weeks 3-6. I accounted for my vacation, when planning them, but not for my efforts looking for a new job. I prioritized those efforts so I'm not completely bummed out. So here are the results: Goal 1: Handstand exercises 5/42, rating F: no points Goal 2: Workouts with focus on pullup 4/13, rating F: no points Goal 3: climbing class booked, no, rating F: no points Lifegoal: consecutive days on time 5 1/2 days (second best 3 days), rating F: no points So no attributes and although I participated in some Nerdwarts Duel and Quidditch, I deny myself the level-up. I will do better next time.

I am ok with burpees now, so I'll do them again. This weekend I should have even more time.

Good strategy with your boyfriend Vacation starts on 8th of July and of course you are right about the safety of climbing. It's just reasonsless worrying, that's all.

says the man who does a gazillion jumping jacks

Soooo, overall I can say that week 2 went well... at least better than week 1. Did 3 workouts where I did quite some pull-ups and handstand (related) exercises. Thanks to the duel mini challenge I tried hard with the pull ups, so, yay. Goal 1: handstand (related) exercises 3/7 Goal 2: pull-up focus 3/3 Still haven't booked the climbing class, since I wanted to sync with my wife and room mate to go together. Since we continuously had guests the last 1 1/2 weeks, I keep forgetting it. I'm also starting to worry that I break something before vacation and wonder at the same time when I started in general to worry so much. Goal 3: climbing class booked, no Regarding punctuality: I have a theory how it happened that I let my punctuality get worse the last year. I have to wait a lot for my friends. There's no way being punctual when e.g. waiting for a whole group of friends to get ready to go for dinner somewhere and then be in time for the reservation. So I won't count those occasions, where we are late as a group (as long as I got ready on time). Nonetheless I managed to be late at the gym yesterday. Bad, bad, bad... Lifegoal: consecutive days on time 5 1/2 days (second best 3 days) To end with a positive note: We (Slytherin) won our first Quiddich match! And I did burpees and don't hate them anymore. But mabe because I did a moderate amount of them distributed over a long period of time. Go, go, go for week 3

VICTORYYYYY!

Awesome match. Really got me motivated to do burpees. And even though I didn't have the insane rep numbers some people have it turned our that I don't hate burpees anymore I wouldn't say I love them now, but good enough
