    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:

    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:

    On 9/1, should we all post our weight, regardless of if we weigh on certain days?
