    This message is from Gary!!!!


    Welcome everyone. This will be a main communication point for team captains to hash over ideas, questions and answers. Many of you are returning from the August Challenge. Please help those that are just beginning.



    I would also encourage you to encourage your folks to purchase a set of dumbbells. 3lb or 5lb to start out with. This will really help them build, tone and define muscle. They can be purchased for under $10 from walmart. If they are unable cans of soup, vegetable juice and water bottles can be used as substitutes.


    We will be utilizing (HIIT) High Impact Interval Training along with TABATA Training. A tabata timer will be provide for free in the future via mp3 file. This will be a free download and can help your teammates stay on the tabata cycle. Tabata training is a 20 second intense workout with a 10 second break over 4 exercises and then you repeat for a total of 4 minutes. It is designed to increase aerobic and anaerobic conditioning. You can google and read more about Tabata training.

    Another Bushmen series exercise program we will utilize is Wildman Training. This uses primarily bodyweight exercises to help tone, burn and shape our new bodies.

    The weekly team challenges will now be referred to as tribal challenges.

    I'm proud of each one of you for leading your team to victory. If you find team members are not working out please contact me and we can make moves sooner than later.

    THIS SEPTEMBER WE ARE GOING TRIBAL AND WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE OUR MFP COMMUNITY!

    HOW DOES THE SEPT CHALLENGE WORK?
    It's 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 whereas BUSHMEN is the advance or high impact. I would suggest trying something new! You do the exercises for the day. If there is a weekly goal meet that goal. Once a week you send your team captain an update 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.
