F5 MARCH BOOT CAMP CHALLENGE:
THIS WILL BE THE LAST BOOT CAMP FOR THE YEAR SO HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN IN FOR THE FITNESS AND FUN!!
(Please do not ask any questions until you have read through all of the info here)
Objective: Earn as many fitness points as possible individually and together as a team. Being on a team offers accountability, opportunity to make new friends, and have FUN together!
Official start/end date: March 8-28, 2021!
1. March 1-7 is "basic training" week! We want you to invite new friends to join this month. Use this week to connect w/ others and join a team (we will set up FB posts to assist in this). Start doing your favorite exercises and start getting warmed up.
2. You can carry over the same team from last month, or create/join a new team. Only rules that apply for this month is that each team must have at least one male and one female. Carry over teams can keep the same team captain, but must come up w/ a new team name!
3. Once you have formed a team, pick a TEAM CAPTAIN and come up w/ a TEAM NAME! (carry over teams will need a new team name as well)
4. It is up to you to choose which division that you would like to be in.
Marines (easy/entry, shooting for 500-1000 points/day)
Rangers (moderate, shooting for 1000-2000 points/day)
Seals (difficult, shooting for 2000-3000 points/day)
(we encourage you to choose the right division and team members with similar fitness goals)
5. How do you accumulate points? Points are given out for different fitness exercises completed. Our spreadsheet makes it super easy and will accommodate almost every kind of fitness activity. Once we share the spreadsheet, it can be accessed right from your phone. After an exercise is completed, you can easily enter in your points and the spreadsheet will keep track of your points for you!
See our point system below:
Cardio:
1 mile on foot (hiking, walking, running, XC skiing) = 300 points
1 mile on mountain bike/rollerblades = 200 points
1 mile on-road bike/ spinning = 100 points
100 yard swim = 100 points
1 point per step climbed (stairs or stair stepper machine)
1 point per jump (jump roping)
Group fitness classes (High Intensity...not stretching/yoga):
15 minutes = 400 points (crossfit, insanity, aerobics, HIIT, Orange Theory, etc)
Recreational/team sports (Moderate Intensity):
15 minutes = 200 points (climbing, tennis, volleyball, soccer, skiing, etc)
Strength focused workouts:
Butterfly/Bicycle crunches = 1/2 point
Crunches, squats, lunges, chair assisted dips = 1 point
Push-ups and sit-ups = 2 points
Pull-ups, chin-ups, burpees, and dips = 3 points
Weight lifting category:
High-intensity reps (if you can comfortably do more than 25 reps, equivalent to a crunch, squat, or light weights) = 1 point
Moderate intensity reps (if you can do more than 10 reps but not more than 25 reps max, equivalent to a pushup or moderate weight) = 2 points
Low reps (you can only do a max of 10 reps, equivalent to a pull-up, dip, or very heavy weights) = 3 points
We recommend using the google spreadsheet that we have created to help keep track of your points
We will be posting this shortly.
6. Weekly point cap: While you are free to accumulate as many daily points as you want to your INDIVIDUAL total, each team member has a weekly cap on how many points they can contribute to their weekly TEAM total. Here are the total points each member can contribute to their teams weekly point total w/ 1 one rest day built in.
Seals- 18,000 per week
Rangers- 12,000 per week
Marines- 6,000 per week
This averages to 3000 per day for Seals, 2000 per day for Rangers, and 1000 per day for Marines plus one rest day.
*This has been instituted to hone the benefits of friendly competition without incentivizing point accumulating addicts in overdoing it, creating a frenzy that pushes every team to become point addicts as well to keep up. However, there will still be awards given for individual point totals which have no weekly caps.
7. Teams must be registered by Sunday 6pm (March 7). Official point count starts Monday (March 8).
Team name, Division, Team Captain's name and email address. All team member's names and email addresses.
