I finally had a chance to read through these....WOW! Like, seriously, WOW! I'm hoping to become a bushman!0
-
I am weighing in for this challenge at 133.8 :drinker: and I just looked at my ticker and I only have 4 pounds to go to my initial goal weight!!! That really blows my mind, my ultimate goal is 125 but I never thought I would even make it close to 130! We shall see my friends!
If you have not already please post your starting weight here or personal message me. Enjoy your last day of rest ladies!!!!0 -
Is the only difference between the Bushman and the Pygmy that one is advanced?
Yes that is the only difference. Points will be the same no matter which one you choose, you can mix and match between the 2 if you want. I encourage all of you to at least start with the Bushmen challenges everyday and if it proves to be too much then supplement with the Pygmy challenges. As Gary says you are all stronger than what you think!0 -
Thanks for clearing up the dates. I now assume you want us to report to you each Sunday. Do you want daily goals met or just a weekly report summary?0
-
im going to go ahead and say my starting weight is what it is today 191.8...its lower than monday's weight and maybe it will give me the motivation i need to make it through a weekend vacation visiting with my family without blowing it totally! looking forward to starting the sept daily challenges tom!0

I feel that we should continue to try to post on the forum daily about our challenges and what not. On Sundays it would be fine to do something like "all challenges met, current weight blah blah blah." Something to that effect. It could be posted on this thread and/or messaged to me. I believe Gary is trying to get the spreadsheet (point tracker) on Google Docs and that way everyone can just update their own stuff through my gmail account. Don't know how it is going to work as I have never had gmail nor used google docs.I will keep ya posted.0 -

Is your challenge done yet?0 -
I'll keep my starting weight at 136 even though there was an extra half lb on the scale this morning. I'm in that bloated time of the month.0
-
My starting weight is 143.7lbs(yesterday). I had to wake up at the crack of dawn this morning for my examination, so I did not weigh today. I hope we all see lots of progress!!! :happy:0

From Gary:
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!
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.0 -
Pygmy Series DONE with the 4 minute Tabata workout to boot! I thought it wouldn't be so bad until I DID IT! Man, am I out of shape! Can't wait to see how I feel at the end of this month! LOL
I also walked 3 miles!
Starting weight on September 1, 2011: 169 pounds
May the the fat burning BEGIN!0 -
Didn't see the Tabata part until I was done with my workout today. Burned more calories than I ever have in one day and I'm wipe out! Will do it starting tomorrow. Did the Bushman and those globe jumps just about killed me even with the adjustment I'm doing because I can't jump.0

So, I am left a little bit confused... I still have not seen a post of the exercises for the Bushman series. Did I miss when that was posted? If so, could someone please re-post the link for me?:flowerforyou:
Specifically,
50 Wood Chops ? Globe Jumps(is it the same as Insanity)? Dumbbell Chest Fly’s? Sets of 15 Lawnmowers? Tricep Kickbacks? Shoulder Shrugs (weighted)-i think i can actually figure this one out
The rest of the exercises such as crunches, jumping jacks - I can figure out and I saw the videos included for the pygmy series too.
I guess if I don't see anything else, I'll be doing my best effort to do the exercises with my best guess of how they are intended to be done. I'm gonna do this right after work before I have a chance to chicken out
Congrats to everyone who's already completed the daily challenge.0 -
Challenges done! Except for the tabata....I didn't see that until later. Can you provide some explanation for the bear walk? I'm not sure what that is. Thanks!0
-
From Gary:
What's a bearwalk? SMH, LOL! stand up put your feet on the floor hunched over and walk with feet and legs on the floor? Like a bear walks? Walk at a constant pace for 3 minutes no stopping!0 -

I hope these help! Whenever you are unsure of something feel free to post here or check out youtube.com I forget that not everyone did the August Challenge. When I come across something that does not have a video but should I will post here. Gary did say that next week he will post the videos for the Bushmen series for week 2.0 -

This should show you how to bear walk.
Tabata, Bushman exercises, water and calorie goals met for Day 10 -
I will be away from my computer until at least the 10th of September. My husband and I are going camping for a week plus. I will log in via phone. I will try to use the internet features on my phone to record my challenge progress here. If that fails, please just check my diary; everything should be recorded. Don't think I have forgotten you; I wish you the best.0
-
@mkaluzny: thanks for posting that bear walk!
I will also be camping but just for the weekend. I am hoping to get reception from my phone to be able to log in but we are camping near a huge gorge so it may be shifty.
However I will only be camping tomorrow night through Sunday morning so if worst comes to worst you will only be without me for 1 day.
I completed Day 1 for the Bushmen series and came in under calories and over water.
what did everyone think of their first day?0
