Ok guys, I really need to know that "Bump" meens... French is my 1rst language and I'm not that good in english :blushing: ... Help :laugh:
@cath - it's just a way of posting something short to the thread which then saves it under the "My Topics" section of your Community Tab. Sometimes people will just say "bump" when they don't have time to right something lengthy (so that they can find it easily later when they have more time). I hope that helps!!
Ohhhh I see. Thanks

@carrriebear - for the members from August that are going on to the September Challenge - I will just use your final weigh in for August (today's) as your starting weight for September.
For the newbie's - I need you to give me your starting weight either today or tomorrow here on this thread.
Let me know if you have any questions.....0 -
Good luck guys, I will be watching and cheering you on!!
Joyful in the Journey,

Okay, I have a small complaint... I don't like to be a complainer, but those globe jumps are really hard. I can't do more than 5 in a row before I have to take a break, and getting through each set of 5 gets harder and harder. You all know I push myself pretty hard, asking for 50 globe jumps all at once, especially after doing all those other exercises, is setting me up for failure.
Am I the only person who feels as though asking for 50 globe jumps 3 times this week is a little much??? It can't be only me who has such a difficult time with these!0 -

I kind of agree with Sarah. 50 it's alot! BUT, if every time we jumps it counts for 1, that's a bit more possible for me. BUT if you have to jump 4 time to do the square and that's only one, well, I guess I would replace the globe jump for an other exercice...
@Amazing Grace, can you ask Gary about how we count the globe jump? And, if you can replace it by an other one?
P.S. I usualy not a complainer either

Also - Do we still have one space available on this team? One of my friends wants on, if we do!!
@cath - I've been counting four jumps (the whole box) as one globe jump. I thought one of the threads specified that, but I could be wrong. If it's each individual jump counts as 1, then 50 would still be hard but might be doable, at least! That would only be 12.5 times around!0 -
Yes, you guys... I'm having a hard time with them too.... so I'm glad to know it's not just me. I started out doing the 4 jumps around to equal "one", but I agree with you - it makes more sense to count each one.... I'll check with Gary and make sure. I'll post it here tomorrow as soon as I know.
Also, yes, we have one more opening on our team!! Have your friend come and introduce herself and "friend" us all!!! Yippee!!0 -

Yay! I'll let her know!!0 -
Hello all!!! I am SarahRuth's friend who wanted to join, and I am so excited that there was one spot open!!! Is there something special I need to to to be accepted into the group, other than friending everyone?? There isn't any hazing involved right? LOL
Anywho....I do have a quick question....there are 4 days planned out in the work out descriptions, with day 4 as a rest day...then on the 5th day, does it start back at day 1 exercises?? That's the only thing I'm not 100% clear on.
I look forward to 'meeting' all of you, and getting my motivation back!!!

Yay!! You're here!!!
There is new thread posted each week with new daily challenges, and they get progressively harder throughout the month. I believe there are only four right now because the week starts on Monday and we just finished up August today. So a new thread should go up Sunday for the next weeks challenges! Exercises 6 days with Sunday being a rest day. But if something legitimately gets in your way and you can't do the workout, you can make it up on another day and move your rest day to another day. As long as you post to let amazing_grace know what you did so she can check it off. 0 -
