Füsters,

This week is the official half way point of Sömmer Kamp (Wednesday, August 7th to be specific). And no, there’s no “Cheat Day” during Sömmer Kamp so just keep on truckin’. But it is a good time to reflect on where you’re at with your game and if you’re performing to your own expectations. After Wedensday, we’ve only got three and a half more weeks to go and the time to put your flank meat under severe duress is dwindling. So pick it up (or keep it going) and make sure you don’t fade into the back half of the game!

Alright, let’s get to updating:

First, GG notes not a lot of people took advantage of the mini-golf sponsored day off from exercise. Which is either a really good thing (you’re super dedicated to Schmerzenfùste) or a not so good thing (you’re not working out enough for a day off to be enticing). Either way, you’ll get two more Summer fun days like this in the coming weeks so maybe GG will find an activity that you enjoy (who doesn’t enjoy mini-golf? 🤦🏻‍♂️).
Weekly bonuses continue to increase in difficulty with the Stroll going to 7.5 miles and Stairs going to 70, plus a couple other bonuses too. Go HERE for details.
This week’s Fastentag is particularly challenging. Perhaps you noted that the number of announced Fastentags was +1 to the number of Mondays in the game? Well that’s because this week’s Fastentag is officially an über event: the fast begins tomorrow at sun-up but doesn’t end at sundown . . . it keeps going for another 24 hours!! This is a throw back to the days when the legacy Füsters would suffer a 2 and 3 day fast! But don’t get crazy, this is only 36 hours so it’s nothing too extreme. To summarize, your clear liquid only fast begins tomorrow morning at dawn and goes to 6pm on Tuesday! If that doesn’t get you hangry, nothing will! And don’t skip this one cause fasting has an incredibly positive impact on your waist line (and an incredibly negative impact on your flank meat) AND you can’t earn the +10p Fastentag completion bonus without surviving the 36 hour fast! So good luck and may your family forgive your hanger!
As Week 4 crosses the midway point of the game, it’s time for your “Mid Term” to check and see if you’ve been doing your Daily 50 homework. Mid Terms are completed next weekend (doesn’t matter which day) and reported on Monday, August 12th. How do you complete this test? Pretty simple. Set you phone at a good vantage point, set it to “Time Lapse” video and film yourself doing an entire Daily 50 workout. If you haven’t been doing certain exercises because of injury or some other issue, just do what you’ve been doing instead. Text GG a copy of the video when done as proof of completion and then you can score your bonus point on Monday. Again, good luck!
Please remember to read the rules for all bonus and/or exercise activities. If there’s specific instructions for an activity, you must follow those instructions in order to earn your point, e.g. you cannot use a stair stepper to complete your Too Many Stairs bonus (you have to actually go up a staircase otherwise the mental anguish of this event is lessened and so is the challenge!). Also make sure you understand the distances associated with Singelt and Doppelt game play and any other associated details (go HERE to refresh on the exercise requirements). Thank you for your attention to detail!

That’s it for now, Füsters. GG hopes you had a great weekend and wishes you a successful Week 4!
