September-October 2009 teen and young adult challenge!

I wanted to start a fun, supportive, highly motivated challenge for 10-20 teens and young adults. Sharing recipes, exercises, intake, problems, motivation, and success is encouraged.

Goals of Challenge

Points will be awarded for goals reached: flexibility= 50 points, >420 min of Cardio a week= 50, 8 hours of sleep= 5, Goal Weight= 1000. Some sort of prize or acclaim will come to the person who earns the most points.

Name: Hannah  Age:17 (until Sunday)   SW: 125    GW: <100  Sleep: ~ 6 hours

I would like to be able to do the splits, hold my torso comfortably against my legs while standing, and touch my feet to my head by October 1st. By the end of the year I would like to be able to do a back bend, front flip, and put my legs behind my head.

Exercise Plan: Swim every day 60 laps until it gets too cold, then run or bike everyday for an hour. Wednesday is my rest/ weight training/ flexability day. Friday is gym for three hours. The odd exercise (hike, dance, sport) whenever there is time.

Weekly check Ins should look kinda like this(with hopefully different numbers):

CW: 125 

Water: 100oz

Exercise: 30min

Flexibility: stretched evernight

Sleep: 0 points (5 points awarded for every night you sleep for at least 8 hours)

Name: Stef

Age: 14

SW: 160

GW: 140

Hight: 5'7"

Sleep: 7-8 hours

Exercise: swimming 2k, running 2-3 miles, biking 6-7 miles (alternate days)

Awsome! Where do you swim/ how does two k translate in laps because that sounds like an excellent exercise.

I swim at my local swimming pool, which i usually end up cycling to, 2k is 60laps of a 33m pool or 40 laps of a 50m pool. Its actually quite fun!! I need to work on my running though as i can only run a mile!!
