    Hm, so we get an additional point for every day we do an extra mile? I'm gonna consider getting my treadmill out and walking a mile every day. That would be 7 extra points, right? Or is it a one time thing?

    "For each day you do an extra mile your team will get an additional bonus point. 1 point per day per participant."

    Your right 7 extra... that would fit with your marathon training?

    Monday, Wed, Fri 2.5 miles for Pygmy.

    This is pretty crazy-wild :noway: adding all these exercises on top of our normal workout routine. I think I'll have to get up early to do this. HHhhmmmm....need a plan, need a plan.

    I'm sending really strong workout wishes to all of you ANJU Warriors!!!!:flowerforyou:

    I agree Tina... this is pretty wild crazy.

    I dont want to throw in the towel but I dont think I can keep at this tremendous pace.

    The bear crawl is ~way over~ my limit and its in Pygmy this week.

    Just being honest here.

    We want to be successful warriors able to move forward.. not injured ones.

    Any ideas?

    I'm personally scared of the bear walk... part of the reason I didn't do it, plus the way my house is laid out I don't have a great place to do it, especially for 5 Bushmen minutes. Best place, I believe is the upstairs hallway. I'll just have to vacuum everyday since I'd be going right past the closet with the litter boxes. Don't really want that on my hands. :noway:

    Also I'm technically not marathon training. I'm on the last week of couch to 5K so I'd be walking the extra mile instead of running. I figure I can do that while watching Days of our Lives on the DVR.

    I did the Bushmen arms today and my Shed 5 Fast video that I had scheduled. Tonight after I get the boys to bed I'm going to do an hour of Zumba.

    Question on the split squats.... for the pygmy is it 25 on each leg or all together?


    And has anyone else watched the video? Is it just me or does it look just like a lunge?

    I think it definitely looks like a lunge. My guess is 25 on each side. Otherwise you wouldn't be even.

    Reporting for week 1:

    Current weight- 168.0
    Daily exercises- yes all 3
    Weekly challenge- yes all 3 days
    Bonus 3 minute bear walk- no

    This challenge is getting serious! Just remember -- listen to your body. If something is too much for you, don't over do it. But, also remember that this is a challenge and there is no harm in pushing yourself! We are warriors!

    Thinking about this Julie it would be ONLY 6 extra points as the week runs Mon- Sat. Sunday is a rest day.

    Not sure here but I'd make it even on both sides weather you do 25 or 50.

    I'm gonna do 50.. its not gonna hurt.

    Split up today's challenge based on what I do at the gym (leg day, might as well get lunges out of the way right?!) and then I'll hit the rest after our labor day picnic. I'll need it by then.
    '
    Spent this morning cooking up some healthy goodness to keep me going at work today. Planning out this week with vengeneance. It might be TOM but it will not slow me down! Not with the support of my fellow ANJU warriors who are killin' it all week!!
