    Fe, Gary's posting the video links to the advanced sometime today. If you go into you-tube and type in the name, you'll be able to pick them up too!

    I think it's a good idea to try out the pygmy's first and build up/try them out at your leisure :wink:

    I just wanted to share with you.......

    I have just finished the very last challenge of August!! It has been a rollercoaster month to say the least. There have been days where I've had the energy of Tigger and there's been days were I had no energy at all!! These were the days that I took support from my team - I didn't want to be the one who let the team down!

    I am proud to say that I completed every task - even the extras thrown in by Gary - drank my water and came in under calories EVERY day of the month!!!

    I've lost weight, lost inches and am fitter than a month ago!!!

    Will YOU be saying this at the end of September???????

    I really hope so :wink:

    Sharing Jules' sentiment exactly....we were on the same August Challenge team and, yes, there were frustrations...mainly from those who were not really "participating" and didn't seem to care!! Jules and I care VERY much about you all...this is going to be HARD, but so worth it! It's for you, your health, and your team!! Peer pressure can be a great thing sometimes if "used" correctly!! Let's cheer each other on and get this challenge GOING!!!

    Who would have thought that I could be under cals, over water, and doing these exercises outside of my normal workout routine EVERY day (except one)....if I can do that...you all can too!!

    I'm psyched........ok.....as they say in the football huddle breakdown..... "GO TEAM JUNGLE JEWELS!!!!"

    Please read this via Gary:

    HOW DOES THE SEPT CHALLENGE WORK? its very simple. You choose which exercise path you want to do for the day or week. Pygmy or BUSHMEN.

    Pygmy is more basic and low impact where BUSHMEN is the opposite. I would suggest trying something new! You do the exercises for the day.

    If there is a weekly goal meet that goal. Once a day you update your team captain (via this forum) saying I did all the dailies or I did 5 of them whatever is the case.

    Then send them your weight on Sunday.

    That's it. We compute the % of weight loss and your points for each day's exercise and add it together for a total team score. If all of your team completes the daily and weekly challenges you earn bonus points for the team.

    That's all there is to it really. I hope that helps!
