    OK Team I'm a tech junkie!!! I have an iPod, iPhone and iPad LOL anyway while looking at this Tabata training video, I was thinking hmmmmm I may need a timer of some sort... I looked up some on my iPad and found a few free Timers that I thought I would share:

    1. Tabata Timer (free for a limited time only)
    2. Tabata Lite

    I've never done Tabata in my life and watching the videos had me super geeked!!! LOL

    YAAAAAYYYYYY I am so excited to do these challenges... but I am a little confused. Should I have already been studying up on some of the workout routines? I dont want to lag behind but I have not read on the tribal stuff and I never watched any of those reality tv shows, if this is where the tribal theme fits in...

    No, no studying involved!
    Each month Gary sets new challenges under a new heading - August was kick the c**p out of August - and Sept is 'tribal'. The title has no bearing on the exercisdes!!

    Have a look at the you-tube videos for any exercises that your unsure of.

    Good Morning Team!!

    Thanks Sarah for posting Week 1's challenges for me :smile:

    Exercises are broken down into two series: (1) Bushmen Series - Advanced & (2) Pygmy Series - Basic. It is your decision which exercises you follow each day - if you are new to these kind of exercises, you may wish to start with the Pygmy for this week and move up to the Bushmen in following weeks.

    Whichever series you choose MAKE SURE you warm up before exercising in order to prevent injuries, if you feel pain... STOP, if you choose to attempt advanced exercises and find you are not physically ready for them, please switch to a basic exercise. If there is an exercise you have not ever tried and you are unsure about pushing your body, please consult with your physician or a trainer for further instructions. I want for you all to meet your goals the safe & healthy way.

    Have a great day!!:bigsmile:
