TNT Crew, It's about time to get into warrior mode.
We're TNT... Tenacious & Tough.
This forum is where we will post daily challenges completed, as well as calories/water goals met. (There is still some discussion about what Exercise Day we'll begin with since we're officially starting on a Thursday and Sundays are typically rest days... more to come on that.)
Exercises are broken down into two series: (1) Bushmen Series - Advanced & (2) Pygmy Series - Basic.
---->>> A note from me (your team captain), warm up before exercising in order to prevent injuries, if you feel pain... STOP, if you choose to attempt advanced exercises and find you are not physically ready for them, please switch to a basic exercise. If there is an exercise you have not ever tried and you are unsure about pushing your body, please consult with your physician or a trainer for further instructions. I want for you all to meet your goals the safe & healthy way. <<<

Hi everyone,
*** PLEASE REMEMBER I'LL NEED YOUR WEIGHT ON AUG 31 OR SEP 1 ***
If you don't want to post your weight in the forum, you may send me a private message here on MFP.
During my August challenge, we were encouraged to do a before & after pic. If anyone is interested in doing so, you may want to start thinking about getting your pic on 8/31 or 9/1.
Something I wish I had done was to take my measurements before starting the Aug challenge. It's encouraging to have my clothing fitting so much looser, but sometimes it's nice to see the actual numbers on the tape measure.0 -
Almost time.0
-
woop wooooooop! can't wait to get this started!!0
-
Question - where are the video's? I'm not familiar with some of the exercises and am interested in watching the video mentioned below the advanced exercises. Thanks - can't wait to start!!!!0
-
I think Gary mentioned something about posting links to videos, but I know he's super busy. If you have time, google search the exercises of interest. I cannot access YouTube via my work computer so I've had to rely on written instructions sometimes. If you find good info & want to pass along, please do. I'll also be doing some research as soon as I can. I'm on taxi-mom duty tonight after work and then go the gym to do my final challenge for August ... a 5K... woo hoo!0
-
WOW! I just googled some of the advanced exercises and this is going to be fun. Now I'm even more excited to start!0
-
YAY! So excited to get started!0

Thanks - I'll google them!!!!0

Ok, I'm the question girl today as I have another question. Do I need to log these exercises on MFP or do I just let you know when I've done them each day?0
-
You're not alone with your question...I tried to find them on MFP but the 2 I looked for did not come up. I feel like we should be logging them but not sure how to find them.0

We will all post our daily challenges & calories/water info here in the forum.
An example of what Day 1 would look like if you did the basic exercises is like this:
30 squat kicks - done
50 jumping jacks - done
calories - under
water - met goal or over
Remember the exercises are in addition to your regular workout routine which will create the fitness challenge.0 -
Notes:
-- Logging exercises:
For the challenge, we log in our daily exercises completed in the forum so I can keep up with them on the spreadsheet. You may also add them to your exercise diary to count them as calories burned.
Feel free to switch up the days, i.e., if you want to do Day 1 on Day 3, etc. Just make sure by the end of the week that you've completed all of the challenges assigned for the week.
-- Rest days:
Sunday is the typical rest day, but you may choose a different day. On your rest day, you do not have to make a report on exercises, calories burned or water intake.
-- Water:
Water is good for you in so many ways, but I recently read how our bodies actually use water to help burn more calories. It's just another benefit of the wonderful calorie-free beverage. I do use sugar-free flavorings sometimes when I want something besides just plain water. During the August challenge I read somewhere to do whatever you need to do to get your 8 cups of water daily. :-)
-- Calories:
Since you've all probably been logging for some time, I'll leave this one up to you. You know what foods work for you and you know what you can or can't eat to help your body to reach an optimal level of fitness.
-- Fitness Safety:
I can't stress enough to take care of your body. Always warm up & stretch. Two very important things I learned during the August challege: (1) warm up your body before doing crunches or sit-ups in order to avoid a pulled ab muscle -- they really hurt! (2) stretch your calves really good to help avoid shin splints (which also hurt). :-)
*** I'll do my best to help you all in any way I can. I'm loving my results from the August Challenge and I'm ready to push myself even further. Tonight I walked/jogged a 5K which was totally unheard of on August 1st!!! ((( HUGS )))0 -
You're not alone with your question...I tried to find them on MFP but the 2 I looked for did not come up. I feel like we should be logging them but not sure how to find them.
I'm going to do some web searching for videos or guidance on the exercises in the Advance Series.
Yes, we will log all of our exercises here in this forum so I can enter them on the spreadsheet.

Hello team,
My starting weight for this challenge is 161.0.
I have a regular work day ahead of me and will be facing Day 1 challenges this evening.
Since I have completed one challenge, I will be doing the Advanced Series exercises along with my regular workouts. Regardless which set of exercises you choose to conquer, remember to do your best.
*** Please post or message me your starting weight ***

Good morning,
Day 1 started bright and early today at 4:45am. My challenge is done for the day and my starting weight is 176.8. I will post tonight once my water is in but I'm halfway there. This is my first challenge and I will be a Pygmy for this one but may drift a little toward being a Bushman.
Thanks for having me in this FAB challenge!!

I'll enter this weight for you. If you have a different number to report after you weigh today, just let me know.0 -
Good Morning. My day also started at 4:45 am for my regular workout. I will complete the exercises and the challenge tonight and post on here when completed. My starting weight is 167 and I have already completed my water goal for the day (not bad for 9:37am). As an FYI, I generally will do these exercises and challenges at night as my mornings are full with my regular workout. Hope everyone has a great day) 0
