    Good Morning!

    What a fabulous first day!! You are SUPERSTARS!!!
    Jill and I were impressed with your dedication towards the tasks and a HUGE thank you to those of you who embraced the 3-min bear walk! If you still haven't done it, no worries you have till Sunday!!
    I had a huge smile logging all your successes into the spreadsheet this morning :bigsmile:

    One small moan though - 2 people haven't reported into the forum as yet!! You HAVE to report in otherwise your exercises/challenges wil not count for that day - and the whole team will fail :cry: I hope to see those 2 posts asap please.

    Ok, so moving on to Day 2 -

    Today's Exercise Challenges are -

    PYGMY SERIES - 2 sets of 15 Swimmer’s Presses + 1 Extra Mile jog, walk or run (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYwzaUXK6gs) * You may use cans of soup, tomato juice or bottles of water if u don’t have weights

    OR

    BUSHMEN SERIES (Advanced) – 4 min Tabata, 2 sets of 15 Swimmer’s Presses, 2 sets of 21’s, 2 sets of 15 Dumbbell Chest Fly’s, 2 Sets of 15 Lawnmowers, 2 sets of Tricep Kickbacks, 2 sets of 15 Shoulder Shrugs (weighted).

    You ALSO need to drink at least 64oz (8 glasses of water), stay under calories AND report it in the team's forum!!


    Todays music - Heather Small's - What Have You Done Today..... (my all time favourite motivational sone & I have this playing when I cross the finishing line to all my runs!!)

    Today's motivartional tip - "Know your limits .... but never stop trying to exceed them!"

    Good luck team – let's dazzle!!

    HI everyone,

    I am on Pacific Time Zone so I am just getting ready to head to Derby Practice. intense 2 hr workout... but I have already done 50 squat kicks and 50 pushups,

    oops I meant 50 jumping jacks... 50 pushups would totally kill me hahahaha...

    Anyways I finished today's challenge doing the Bushman Series!!! I loved it all! My sons ages 6 &almost 8 did them with me and held candles as weights, it was so awesome. I am really enjoying this so far, but it is only day two lets see if this enthusiasm sticks!!! I understand the value in group motivation and look forward to pushing eachother to get through!

    4 min Tabata
    (Team Derby Life Challenge: 4 back strengthening exercises)
    2 sets of 15 Swimmer’s Presses
    2 sets of 21’s 7 low, 7 high, 7 full
    2 sets of 15 Dumbbell Chest Fly’s
    2 Sets of 15 Lawnmowers,
    2 sets of Tricep Kickbacks,
    2 sets of 15 Shoulder Shrugs

    I fully intend to stay under calories and water, just so you know incase I dont write again on this post today. If for some reason I goof on that I will be sure to post.

    Excellent, Randi!!! You did great!! How about if, tomorrow, you take ONE exercise from Bushmen and replace it in the Pygmie workout?? Just try??? If you do Zumba, you can handle it...I have faith in THAT!!! Good girl...great day!

    Go, go, go, Renu!! This is GREAT!! I'm going to suggest the same thing I did for Randi....can you take ONE of the Bushmen exercises and replace a pygmie exercise with it? Take the easiest one if you have to, but that will just take you up a notch..and guess what THAT means....more calories gone!! Yessssssssssssssssss!!! Thanks for another successful day!!!

    Ok Stunning Jewels - if you want to have a look at next weeks challenges -

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/334044-team-jungle-jewels-tribal-sept-week-2-closed-group?page=1#posts-4482745

    You will notice that we move up another gear with the daily challenges AND we have a team challenge too!! Again, this is in ADDITION to our normal workouts!!

    SUNDAY is our rest day from exercise challenges :wink: HOWEVER, this is the day that I need you to post your 'current weight' in the forum - the team will get 1 point for every pound lost this week!! (I appreciate that this week has been short - the challenge had been broken down over 5 weeks - W1 = 4days, W2-4 = full weeks and W5 = 3 days. The challenge ends on the 30th!)
