Cori hurt her knee :(

Cori will be recuperating for the next few days. She pulled her knee running. I am at school tonight, so I won't be at the gym. I think Christine and Shannon are in at 5:15pm

WE ARE #1 !!!!!!!!

We are in first place. Wow! We have a great start! 263 points for our first week. The next highest team scored 145. Mark was our high team member with 48 points! Christine and Shannon were on his tail at 47 points each. I was next at 41 and Ravi and Priya came in at40 points each. That leaves Cori with 24 points. I think we all met our personal goals!
Let's keep it going. I think our high scores will inspire some of the other teams to pick-up their pace.
Go marvels!(I'm so excited:)

Spent two hours in the water with Mark and Mary this morning - we're all a little wrinkled. But we also earned our 8 points! Hooray for our team.

Cori

Good morning

Well, so far this week I have reached my goal to workout everyday! And you are all doing so great! It is a beautiful day, maybe a run on the outside track with Cori today? Water class this morning at 9:oo. Hope you have a good Friday.
mary

HI CHRISTINE!!

happy to see you here!

We are off to a strong start

Everyone is very active on our team! Mark, Cori, and I did water exercise this morning:) It was really fun! Mark is almost always available any night from about 7:30 -9:45 pm, on the north side of the fitness center if you want to squeeze in a few extra points and work toward your goals. Ravi, Priya, Christine, and Shannon all scored 8 points each on Mon. and Tues.! Anyone working out early afternoon tomorrow?
Mary

Tuesday AM workout

Well, didn't make it for 5:45 AM workout. But caught up with Ravi & Priya at 10:00 for their second workout of the day! Class tonight. Have a great day.

Tuesday AM workout

Cori,
I was thinking about working out with Ravi and Priya @ 5:45 am tomorrow(YIKES). Would you be available for an hour @ 6:45? Maybe a light strength circuit and a swim?
mary

Mark is available for anyone who wants double points.

Mark called and said he would be available to workout tonight from 7:30 to close.

What a team!

Wow Cori, this is great. We look like a team. Hopefully we will get Shannon and Christine's photos soon. See you all at the Y tomorrow.

Introducing . . .

Christine and Shannon (mother and daughter) are regulars at our Y. They work out on the cardio machines most evenings during the week. Although they have busy schedules, they make exercise a priority and use their advantage of automatic double points for working out together.



Cori is happy to run, bike and swim most evenings; she would love to take advantage of the outdoor track as long as the weather cooperates. She also enjoys free weights and strength machines as energy boosters.



Mary, our fearless leader, teaches a great water class in the small pool on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings at 9 a.m. Join her for those extra points if you can. Mary also enjoys strength training on a regular basis.





Ravi and Priya (husband and wife) brave the early mornings to workout on the strength machines and raise their heart rates on the treadmill.



You will find Mark at the Y most evenings, either biking or working out on the strength machines. He considers the Y his second home, so if you need a partner, you can count on Mark to keep you company!

Organized and Ready to Move!

We met on Sunday at the Y to discuss our schedules and get the rules straight. Our goal is to workout together as much as possible; this way, we'll earn the most points in the least amount of time.
We also set personal goals for fitness and weight. And took pictures of our group to capture each of us at the beginning of our 10-week journey. Check out Mary's Marvels below!
