A total 365.5cm has been lost overall by Team Lakelands, this is an awesome achievement with some very impressive before and after photos Team Lakelands worked together to take out this morning’s plank challenge, tug of war and 3200m rowing challenge.

It’s been a pleasure to train with the contestants over the past 8 weeks and watch them transform both mentally and physically as well as see the improvements in their health and fitness.

I look forward to seeing their progress in the future as they continue their journey towards achieving their goals

Even a shopping centre evacuation alarm could not stop the team on Monday morning. Fri, 17 Nov 2017 00:37:00 +0000 https://www.coastlive.com.au/blogs/kick-start-challenge-blog/post/week-6-team-lakeland/ 350-123-5a0e2f414e41b Kerry Uncategorised It was laps around the carpark until the fire brigade attended to give the all clear and then it was straight into a strength circuit with farmer carries and Matt stepped up to a huge challenge.

Steve took out the top spot in Wednesday’s stepper challenge with 11.18 – super effort!

Today’s weigh in saw a group loss of 11.3kg for the week and an overall loss of 62.9kg.

This gave the team the extra motivation to smash today’s group circuit and finish the session strong with timed laps around the carpark and a final sprint.

With only two weeks to go before the final weigh in, everyone is putting in an extra huge effort to finish strong!
