    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.

    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.

Please do your best as you are much stronger than you believe.

    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:tongue: 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:wink:

    Congrats to everyone who's already completed the daily challenge.

    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.

    @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?

    Hi,
    I did day 2 exercises today because I biked an extra 8KM and walked for an hour uphill (damn this living on a mountain :O )
    I drank lots and lots and lots of water and my calories were fine.

    hi all,
    Just finished today's challenge work out, I did the Bushmen's workout, but did modify it

    We are leaving for the long weekend and I'm not sure what my wifi signal will be so my planned calories are good and I am working on finishing my jug of water

    No bear crawls and likely won't since I won't be home
    I will do the bushman workout again tomorrow

    have a great long weekend everybody
    :ohwell:

    Tabata, Bushman challenges, Bearwalk, water and calorie goal met ( I assume I'll be under as I have 1300 calories to eat yet and only one meal).

    Completed exercise challenges (including Tabata), will at least meet water and will be under calories. Need to stay off my elbow for a couple more days so will try the bear walk on Sunday.

    I can't wait to not have to modify everything.
