    Anyone have a good video for tabata workout. .the one ive got is a girl doing things at a pretty slow speed and from what I know about tabata its supposed to be very hard core and only done a few times a week, and he wants us to do it everyday?! Just need some clarification, is it supposed to be just a 4min warmup for us or are we actually supposed to be going full out like tabata is normally?

    Just a 4 minute warmup, not the full tabata workout.

    Question - How long does it take everyone to do the daily challenges. I find myself going slow when it comes to burpees (HATE 'EM!). Anyone else taking their time with certain exercises?
  • Charlie175
    Charlie175 Posts: 232 Member
    I think yesterday (including the 4 min tabata and 5 min bear crawl) took close to 1/2hr for me. .I don't do the burpees very quickly either (yet!). I'd say push yourself to whatever your limit is. . time yourself and try to beat it on the next one!

    Hey ladies. I've been out of touch the last few days because Ive been with family in Dallas. I did well on my water and I did the pygmy challenges for the last 2 days. Im going to do my best to catch up on logging my food...but Im pretty certain I went over these last 2 days.

    I'm sorry and I promise this is the only time I will let you guys (and myself) down during this challenge. I am ready to get going hardcore. Im going to get going on the bushman series tomorrow and I am going to attempt to do as many 5k's as possible.

    Please love me through my vacation failures this week

    I got my HRM in the mail today and LOVING it. It really pushed me to challenge myself to stay "In the Zone".

    I finished my challenge today and did 5k and feeling really good about getting back on track. If I meet my goal for the challenge this month I will be out of the obese zone...and I Really Want That!

    Sorry I've been so quiet this month guys. I'm not feeling like myself lately (which is normal for this time of year). Plus my God-forsaken scale sucks serious assage (is that even a word?) The scale hasn't budged in almost a month, and I have been w/in my calories and have been busting my *kitten* with Insanity and the challenges and I feel like it's all for nothing. This is when I begin to start falling off the wagon. Actually, feeling like I'm getting run over by the wagon is more like it. Grrrrr. Okay, vent over :wink:

    Even though I've been quite, you guys are still rockin' it out and I'm very proud of you. I think we seem quieter too because we aren't recaping daily.

    On the plus side...tomorrow's Friday!!! Yay!!!

    I am so sick of the scale at this point. I Have 50lbs more to lose and I cant get past this stupid 198! I want to get to 191 by the end of the month and Im feeling discouraged!

    Hang in there - you're doing so great! I hate my scale, too and have been completely discouraged this month as well (which of course leads to me not exercising like i should, which equals no loss, etc.). Was even thinking about getting a new scale but with my luck the new scale would tell me i was heavier - LOL!

    Anywho, you'll see 191 - just keep doing what you're doing and remember how far you've come. You are one of the most dedicated people I know. Rock on Sista!!! =)

    Sorry ladies, I've been missing the couple of days. I had 3 days off and my home computer is down, it was hard not being able to log in! I've been doing good with the exercises but I went over 2 days on calories, I've been helping my boyfriend and his roommate move to 2 different places and just gave into fast food because of time and also the fridge was the first thing we moved so we kinda got stuck eating out. But I will do better the last three days!! I hope you ladies have a wonderful weekend!! I will if it ever stops raining!!
