    I'm a bit perplexed about the 100 stair climbs, is that like run/jog up a 100 stairs? or a flight of stairs a hundred times? I'm going to do the first ... I only have 3 steps in my house (we all live in bungalows in New Zealand), so if I run up and down those like 34 times??
    This is a good question... I have a deck that I have to step up once to get to. And, really no other stairs in town. (It's a very small town.) Maybe the treadmill at max incline can count for stairs, unless I think of anything else in the meantime.

    Just subsitute anything that can compare somewhat .. I don't have stairs either where I am right now so running up hill while counting as if they were stairs is what I'm doing

    and I'm perplexed by the globe jumps too ... is one set of four jumps one globe jump? i.e. are we doing '200 jumps' (50x4) or just 50 jumps round in a square ... I've done the latter and the thought of having to do that 3 more times is not a pleasant one!!

    The video wasn't very clear so I'm not sure either but i can email Gary to see & I'll post on here asap when he gets back to me!

    I still haven't heard from Gary but I done the (50x4). I didn't do them at once because they are killer! If it's the lesser I guess I burned extra calories.. What's everyone else doing?

    I looked on Garys Diary & he did 4 sets of 50 reps of the globe jumps

    I think to log globe jumps you'd have to create your own exercise?

    I'm very pleased to announce that it's weigh day here for me ... and I'm weighing in at 74.7kg, which is about 164.8lb a loss of 1.8lbs! Very happy with that!

    Hey there

    Here's my recipe. It doesn't have a name as it's something my husband 'invented'. It serves two and can be heated or eaten cold ( I prefer it hot )! 266 cals per portion,

    25g stuffing (Paxo sage and onion I use)
    1/3 cup of chopped chicken breast (cooked)
    1 cubic inch Feta cheese (chopped)
    1 tbsp Basil Pesto
    1 Medium tomato (chopped)
    1/2 Roasted red pepper (chopped) (You can buy these in jars if you don't want to roast it yourself, that's what I do)
    1 med spring onion (chopped)
    1 cup wholewheat pasta (cooked)

    Enjoy!

    What is the difference between the military presses we are doing on Tuesday and the shoulder presses we did this past week? They look the same to me, but I am new to all these exercises. Thanks!

    On crunches we are at 2610 .. I wish it were better! We are down 4 more players I haven't heard from them last week ot this week so I'm counting them out & redoing our sheet for next week. I hate to be that way but it'll make us look better. So we are now 14 from the 21 we started with :(
