Workout Wednesday – Catching Up Edition

A big thank you to everyone for patiently waiting for two week’s worth of Awesome minutes.  Please forgive the delay.

Without further adieu, the AWESOMEST of last week:

In fifth place was Heather with 375 minutes

With five more minutes our fourth place person, KM (380)

Coming in third was Lindsey with 430 – her personal best!  Yay Lindsey!

Our runner up – if the winner can no longer maintain the virtues of awesomeness, the title will go to OPH with her 605 minutes

The March Week 3 leader was Suzanne with a whopping 2280 minutes or 38 hours!  That’s more than the rest of our top 5 combined!

And now, the AWESOMEST of this week:

Fifth place goes to Elise with 280 minutes.

Coming in fourth, we have another top five performance from Lindsey with 290.  You didn’t need us for motivation!

In third is Kirsten with 350 minutes.

Heather moves up to second place from last week’s fifth place showing with 530 minutes.

Suzanne is our repeat first place winner.  This time with 635 minutes.  While it’s less than last week’s total it’s still extremely awesome!

Keep it up everyone!

Work Out…Thursday?

Hey guys!  It’s The Bug, here.  Seems as though the collective we did not keep up our duties this week by providing a clever, inspiring post to keep you all on your minute counting horses…

 Well?  This is NOT that clever post, but may be inspiring?  Get BUSY!  It is March 20 and swimsuit season is already upon those of you in the south.  Swimsuits are going to be creeping their way up north (does anyone else think that sounds just…wrong?) VERY soon and besides that, we all need to keep active to be healthy!

So, on that note, keep counting those minutes, using your spreadsheet, and we’ll have a SUPER awesome, 2 weeks worth of booty moving minutes to report next Wednesday…K?
