    I'm working on a banner for us now :)

    Also I have a note from Gary to forward to you all..

    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.

    This will be our team forum for the Sept Challenge.
    Always check this for...
    -Weekly Challenge List
    -Team updates
    -Team info

    What I need from you guys..

    -Current Weight

    -Email me every evening when you are finished with all your logging to let me know how you done for the day. This will be the only way I can keep up with your totals for your points. I don't get that info off the forum.

    -Full commitment & participation .. I understand that life gets in the way but please always try to touch base with me because this is a team challenge and others are depending on you for team point challenges.

    -Please look over the weekly challenge list at the begining of the week so you can let me know if you are gonna need an alternant exercise for medical reasons. If you do please contact me asap so I have time to find something else to replace it.

    SEPT CHALLENGE FOLKS THAT ARE USING THE BUSHMEN SERIES EXERCISES! I forgot to add that you need to being each day with a tabata 4 minute start. I am using this young woman's series. Its great but you have to stay in time with her. 20 seconds hard core 10 seconds rest for minutes. It will push you hard and will shape and tone large muscle group areas. Make sure everyday starts with a tabata no matter what the challenge is! The video is here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkCnNrxHwFE&feature=youtube_gdata_player http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DfuU3TSsFM&feature=youtube_gdata_player here is another one she does she has several!

    Repost from Gary6030- O.K. Let's start this week off right! Since we are short this week I'm offering a mini-challenge. Remember Gym Class? Do you remember doing the bear walk? As a side mini-challenge you don't have to ever do the mini-challenges. But if you'd like to earn your team an extra point bearwalk for 3 minutes. Seems easy but it has to be a constant bear walk constantly moving for 3 minutes. You might be surprised! If you do the bear walk at the end of the week ask them to add one point to your team score! if you choose not too or cannot perform the mini-challenge its all good! This is just something to get our challenge up and running! So there it is FIRST MINI-CHALLENGE a Constant 3 minute Bearwalk.

    Hey, guys. With the bear walk, what would we log that as in exercise if we did it? I was about to do it, but I want to be able to log it, too.

    So...I 'tried' to do the Bear Walk...I made it for a minute!! I will try again in a few days, see if I can beat that time!! Anyone know how to log this?

    I just read that you burn 10 calories per minute with the bear crawl so just add the exercise under your cadio that way
