    When you say "10" globe jumps, does that mean every "jump" is 1? or does that mean, once I get all the way around (4 jumps), then that is 1?

    Also question, under the Pygmy exercises, it says "Week 2 weekly team challenge" and under Bushmen exercises, it says "Week 3 weekly team challenge"... Are we supposed to see if we can do both? Or was there a type-o somewhere?

    A globe jump is - right, back, left, forward = 1 jump!! So yes it's all the way round!!
    There's been a typo, sorry - pygmy challenge is the 500 sit ups/crunches for Week 3!

    WWOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Week 3!!! We're halfway done!! This has been an AWESOME month so far....let's step it up to the next notch and kick some more booty!! About this time last month, when I'd see the new week's challenge, I cringed....and whined to Jules via PM.....at first we commiserated, then she said "Read it again". So I would go back and re-read....huh, interesting......I can do that!!! So, the moral of the story is.....if you're feeling overwhelmed when you first read it, you're normal (well, as normal as *I* am, which doesn't say much!!).....re-read it and KNOW that you CAN kick butt on this!!! You CAN!! If you feel so inclined, just give it a shot and push up a level for an exercise or two....now's the time to try it...you're getting stronger and fitter! You might be surprised what you can actually accomplish!!

    Hugs to you all and here's to week 3!!! :drinker:
