Every Week on our Facebook Page we invite everyone to take part with us!
Are you up to the challenge?
Week 1 was not audience participation - but you're welcome to try it. One week without fizzy drinks. I dares ya!
Week 2: RUN (throught the) FORREST RUN
Audience participation required!!
Want to be challenged?
Want to decide what kind of ritual humiliation you can put us through?
Read on! :)
After making a carefully planned (ha) routine to improve overall fitness and endurance of all team members, we decided to add a competitive element to our regime....
We have CHALLENGED each other.
So, this is how it works:
There have so far been NO forfeits.
Week 1: No fizzy drinks for the duration of the challenge.
Week 2: Complete (at least) 10 minutes of running every day of the challenge.

Members can choose to take the ultimate challenge and run challenges together....!
Want to take part? Want to accept our challenges? For everyone who takes a challenge and completes a RENEWED week (so two weeks of a challenge) Snailstalkers will donate 50p to our charity (for a maximum of 5 weeks renewal). Maybe you could make it about your own donations to charity and match our donation?
You'll also get mentioned in the blog (of course!!).
Want to think of the forfeits we do? For suitable forfeits submitted (and approved) we will film ourselves doing them and put them on the website. Please though, nothing that will endanger health or anything that is outrageously inappropriate!
We will also consider any challenges put our way (we generally try to keep them health oriented! The more devilish the better!! :D)
Comment in the comment boxes or send me a mail if you'd like to take part!! :)

After making a carefully planned (ha) routine to improve overall fitness and endurance of all team members, we decided to add a competitive element to our regime....
We have CHALLENGED each other.
So, this is how it works:
- each week a challenge is set, if we accept the challenge we have two options:
complete the challenege or forfeit. - If the individiual forfeits they have to complete a task set to them that is some form
of ritual humiliation (we're so nice to each other). - If the challenge is completed the team members can either choose to renew the challenge (that is, do another week of the same challenge) or they can drop the challenge and take up a new one.
- For every ADDITIONAL week that we complete a set challenge we will donate £1 to our charity!
There have so far been NO forfeits.
Week 1: No fizzy drinks for the duration of the challenge.
Week 2: Complete (at least) 10 minutes of running every day of the challenge.

A challenge has been submitted!!
Thanks to Kenny Millington for his challenge: Eat (at least) 1gP[rotein] for every 1gC[arbohydrate].
This sounds like a pretty hard one to me! As some of you will know over the past 2 years I have gone from being a size 16-18, weighing in at a little over 14st to being a much more moderate size 8-10 to being a little over 10st. It's been a really long, arduous journey that has cost me a lot of time and effort, but boy-o-boy the payoff has been brilliant! I've been using an excellent app called myfitnesspal to monitor my exercise and caloric intake for the past 2 and a bit years! Lately my focus has turned to body re-composition and fat removal -The protein/carbohydrate ratio in my diet is my last Everest! (hence the mad rant about protein last post...).
To those of you who measure your macros....how on earth do you keep up your protein levels?! Being vegetarian has always been my "excuse", but actually, I know that in reality it shouldn't stop me from balancing out nicely!
All vegetarian recipes that are yummy should be submitted via the comments box *grin*.

Week 3: Try Something New - you might actually like it!
This week's challenge: discover something new - you might just love it!! 05/29/2014
This week's challenge:
Starting tomorrow (Friday 30th May) we challenge you to try at least ONE new thing related to exercise for one week.
That could be a new exercise class (Tash and Amber are currently toying with coming to Pole for their new thing!!), it could be a new strength move, it could simply be a technique you've been dying to try - but what it MOSTLY is is an opportunity to have some fun!
Often we get caught into routines that maybe we don't actually enjoy anymore...so take this challenge and get yourself out there xD
The rules:
This week's forfeit:
You will be asked to go into a busy town centre and whilst you're walking along, suddenly stop and start dancing. Remember, you need to video your forfeit too for it to count. *grin*
If you need a recap on how it works, check out my blog from 23rd May!
If you've been playing along and would like to renew a previous challenge remember for every ADDITIONAL week that we complete a set challenge we will donate £1 to our charity!
There have so far been NO forfeits.
Previous challenges:
Week 1: No fizzy drinks for the duration of the challenge.
Week 2: Complete (at least) 10 minutes of running every day of the challenge.
Remember: You can either renew a challenge or pick this weeks challenge up. Members of the challenge can choose to take the ultimate challenge and run challenges together....!
(For every renewed week we will donate £1 to our fundraising - for a maximum of 5 weeks per challenge).

This week's challenge:
Starting tomorrow (Monday 9th June) (excuse the shift in start days - we got busy this week!!) we challenge you:
For one week, you will say "YES" to any opportunity asked of you.
Disclaimer: we're not expecting you to say yes to silly, dangerous or completely pointless stuff that people are making up just to see if you'll say yes
How often do you find yourself thinking about missed opportunity? Thinking you wish you were more adventurous?
The rules:
This week's forfeit: (as we had no one from last week forfeit!)
You will be asked to go into a busy town centre and whilst you're walking along, suddenly stop and start dancing. Remember, you need to video your forfeit too for it to count. *grin*

The day after the day after legs day - it hurts so good! 06/15/2014
The challenge
last weeks challenge was felt, by all team members that it was too vague to really make anything of. Being a sucker for new things, like an oversized fitness magpie I have discussed (slightly debated and also quelled a small mutiny) this week's challenge.
I love this challenge, every day I'm reminded that life is there to be taken and lived and this gives me the excuse to do it!!
Try at least three new things this week.
They should be new to you but you can try variants of things you have already done.
Tash has set herself her own challenge: To not eat from the Kebab shop she works for for one week.
The rules:
This week's forfeit: (as we had no one from last week forfeit!)
You will be asked to go into a busy town centre and whilst you're walking along, suddenly stop and start dancing. Remember, you need to video your forfeit too for it to count. *grin*
