    From 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 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. I hope that helps!

    Sounds simple!

    Whoa - those daily exercises look killer, espeically considering I know I've got some killer exercises lined up as my daily exercises those same days. This should be interesting. Now to decide if I want to be pygmy or bushmen. The competitor in me is thinking advanced as a huge challenge, but I also don't want to injure myself. Does our team get more points if I do the advanced since it's so much harder?

    For Julie:


    Here is a question from one of my Anju Warriors....

    Does our team get more points if I do the advanced since it's so much harder?


    Thanks


    Answer

    Nope, both are the same... you get to choose which one you do on a daily basis. Both get the 1 point for every team member that complete's the daily challenge, and 5 bonus if all team members complete all 6 daily challenges

    Phew ladies! I think I'll have to read through all of this again tonight. But I'm excited. Was stoked when I got the PM from Jorden that you had an open spot!!

    Quick 'about me' : I'm Reese, Live in PA with DH (6 years married, 11 together! :heart: ), 2 kiddos (2 & 4 year old boys!:heart::heart: ), and 2 dogs. I work in the Mental Health Field. And since college have went from athletically fit playing volleyball @ school to gaining the 'happily together' weight of living with DH, to the 'just married' weight, to the 'havin' some babies!!' weight...I've been at this for a bit and have lost about 20lbs since I started MFP. But I need to lose about 10 more lbs to feel more comfortable with where I'm at!

    I'm looking forward to participating in the challenges. I do strength training mixed with some cardio most days but I love a good challenge and am glad to be a part!!
