LIKE A BOLT FROM THE BLUE; WEEK THREE RESULTS HAVE ARRIVED!

Hello everybody! We are officially one quarter of the way through the competition. I have included updated results and charts for week 3. Additionally, I have added a new section on health trivia. Every week a question is included the first person (and only the first person) to answer correctly by posting a comment to the blog will get $1 off their entry fee to this fitness competition. Good luck and let's see who the "Health Knowledge Smarty Pants" are.

For Week 3 we averaged 5.8 points per person. That is down 9.6% compared to Week 2; however, that score is better than 2 of the last 3 competitions. Historically Weeks 4 and 5 have had pretty substantial drop offs as we near the mid-point of the competition. Let's see if we can stop the points slide and get our average back up to at least 6 points per person.
