Since this is "extra" miles only and since I walk an average of 30 miles per week normally, I will pledge to walk and EXTRA 10 miles for a total of 40 miles next week. Now, if I end up walking more than 10, will that count for the team or does it need to be pledged in advance to count? I would think whatever you walk counts!
I will be on the west coast next week so I will be waking up before dawn so I might be able to walk more than 10 extra.
Go Team BOOTIE BUSTERS!! These excercizes are getting harder but please don't think you can't do them plus the water. I promisue you, YOU HAVE A FULL 24 HOURS to do every one of them! You can do this is you don't think about it - just do it!!0 -

You gotta be kidding me!!! If this is week 2 I'll be dead by week 4!!! Okay team, I made it (almost) through Week 1, but Week 2 looks impossible to me....remember I'm a lot OLDER than the rest of you and 60 lbs. overweight! I find this very distressful and I've been so proud of myself this week. Now I feel all doomy and gloomy
Should I remind you that you felt this same way last week... you didnt think you could do ... wasnt sure if you could keep up. How much butt did you kick this week... yep thats what I thought. Now ... dont worry about the end of the week... take it one day ata time ...do your best and forget the rest!
Yes, but that was when I mistakenly thought we had to do ALL the exercises every day; once I realized we didn't I was okay with it with the exception of the ups/downs.0 -

I'm going to need some modifications for the mountain climbers and the globe jumps please. I think I'll be okay with everything else. Also, stair climbs...there aren't any stairs around here to climb. Thanks.0 -

For the mountain climbers, you can modify them by doing this :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvMY-wklqr4
When I need to do stair climbers and don't have time to go to the gym and there are no stairs around, I just use the step stool I have in the kitchen. It has two steps and I find a place where I can steady myself (near a wall or furniture I can grab to stabilize) and do them that way...
You can do this! Good luck!0 -
I agree with other posters. There should be a beginners version of the exercises. Even Chalean provides a modified version of up&downs.
I'm working on a 2nd round of C25K. I will commit to an extra 12 miles over and above my C25K routine.0 -

Ok let me try to catch up here lol
1. The 100 miles needs to be done Monday - Saturday of next week. You dont need to pledge them, but everyday you book miles make sure you post it so we know where were standing.
2. Yaya - You are capable of a lot more than you give yourself credit for. Emma is right, you were just as nervous last week and then you got all crazy on us with your "CHALLENGE ME!! -- I Ain't Skeerd!" attitude lol. You can do this :-)
3. As a lot of you are interested in alternates, im going to suggest to Gary that he automatically add them to the weekly exercises. In the meantime, I will find alternates for you today or tomorrow at the latest.
We got this!!!!!
Also, please dont forget to post your current weight by tomorrow so I can calcuate % lost for the week. Thank you!0 -

You're right, I did get all "I can't do this" in the beginning of Week 1 but, like I said earlier, that was when I thought we had to do ALL the exercises EVERY DAY! Once I realized we didn't I was okay with everything, but did need some alternatives for the ups/downs, etc. There needs to be alternatives for beginners such as myself. I need something to replace the mountain climbers, the globe jumps, and the stair climbs (no stairs). Pls. don't get me wrong, I'm committed to doing my best, but some of these exercises are way beyond my capabilities at this point--I'm a beginner. I'll be more than happy to do whatever is within my capabilities and then some, but I can't be expected to run a marathon when I can't run 1 mile.0 -
