    There was a question about the challenges that are currently happening in the August challenge.

    Gary has a three pronged approach (and sometimes a four pronged approach!)

    "Prong 1": One point for doing all of the below. I think it's per member, an extra 5 points to the entire team if EVERYONE on the team meets all of the requirements of "Prong 1" EVERYDAY
    Meet but do not exceed your daily calorie goals, as determined by MFP.
    Drink 64 oz water
    Do your daily exercise....this is the exercise routine that is set by you. For example, if you decide to exercise M-W-F then you commit to keeping to that schedule. There is always the question of whether you eat back your exercise calories...it's up to you....but do not exceed your calorie goal.

    "Prong 2": Daily exercise Challenges. These are IN ADDITION to your regular exercise routine. The following list is this week's daily challenges from Gary current August challenge. If EVERYONE on the team does ALL of the DAILY challenges, then the entire team is awarded an extra 5 points at the end of the week.

    AUGUST CHALLENGE WEEK #3: RISE OF THE MACHINES!
    This is the week three team challenge. This should be done in addition to your normal workout
    routine. This is a challenge and is not a replacement! If you need a beginner workout please contact
    your team captain for ideas.
    Week Three Daily Exercise Challenge
    Daily Exercise = 1 point per member per day. If everyone does it you will be awarded a 5 point bonus for
    the team!

    "Prong 3": Additional Weekly Team Challenge. Gary raises the bar by throwing down an ADDITIONAL weekly challenge. This week's challenge is below, to provide an example.

    Week Three Weekly Team Challenge
    Team Challenge as a team to do at least 4000 ab crunches for the week. So a team of 20 would need
    each person to do 200 Crunches extra for the week. Let’s burn that belly fat away!
    *Feel free to do these exercises in sets if you are unable to do them all at one time. Please do your best
    as you are much stronger than you believe.
    Please note each week the exercises will increase in difficulty. This will push each team member.
    Modifications will be provided for those who unable to complete the exercise as intended.

    At first I thought the additional challenges were a bit intimidating, but I've found them to be completely doable...

    HTH!

    Hi Gang,
    We have completed DAY 1 of the September TRIBAL Challenge!!! We are fabulous!!! Victorious Vixens! Yeah!!!


    Just for clarification, the mini-challenge is ONE TIME only this week. So if you did it last night, then you're done with the mini-challenge! You just need to continue the daily exercise challenges in ADDITION to your individual exercise routine, sticking to your MFP calorie goal, and drinking your 64 oz of water.

    Gary has started a blog that will be a MUCH easier reference for the daily exercise challenges....and it includes a video link to each exercise. Here's the link to the blog: http://mfpchallenges.blogspot.com/2011/09/september-challenge-week-2-pygmy-series.html

    Keep up the GREAT work!!!

    Cheers!

    Hi Gang,
    A clarification...the exercises posted on Gary's blog are for NEXT WEEK. Week 2 of the September TRIBAL challenges starts on MONDAY. Sunday is a rest day for the challenge...if you normally do your own exercise routine on Sundays, then you should continue to do so.

    ALSO--please give me your weekly weigh-in's by MIDNIGHT on Sundays. You can either post them to the thread or PM them to me.

    Everyone is working their butts off!!! Yeah!! (Insert fist pump here).

    Go Team VV!!!

    Cheers,
    Kim
