    If it's just one arm side planks are fantastic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUGifXahES4

    The reach under thing he does toward the end is a very solid core workout, which at the end of the day is the main thing that planks, even high low, promote.

    Ooh that's a good idea, I didn't even think of that. I'm definitely new at this...so all help is appreciated!!

    Moonnstarz83-could you do side planks on the non-injured side??

    I should be able to do those. Sorry I haven't been on for a few days, its been a mess around here. Next 2 weekends are going to be nuts with a Amature radio convention this weekend and my brother's wedding next weekend.

    Anyone up for a sub-challenge this evening? I haven't done any of my planks yet, but anyone want to try to break 75 by tomorrow morning? I will be shooting for that, and a little competitiveness never hurt anyone =)

    I've already done 15 so I have a bit of a headstart...but you're on!!!! :drinker:

    Nice job!

    I was a slacker yesterday and didn't go to the gym until the evening. And then cause I pigged out at lunch meeting a college buddy, I had to spend the whole time doing cardio to burn the calories off. I managed to get in 50 planks this am before cardio, and I'll try to do the remaining 50 tonight when I get home.

    Hey, teammates!! Hope this week is going well for you! I'm having a hard time staying within my calories this week, but I'm owning the exercises and water parts of the challenge. I typically do at least the pygmy exercises, but add in most of the bushmen exercises as well.

    So far:
    Day one: 10 globe jumps, 50 crunches, 50 toe touches, 25 squat kicks, 25 windshield, 2 mile walk
    Day two: 3x15 swimmers presses, 3 x 21s, 3 x 15 chest flys, 3 x 15 tricep kickbacks, 3 x 15 lawnmowers, 3 x 15 woodchops, 50 crunches
    Day three: 10 globe jumps, 50 crunches, 50 toe touches, 25 squat kicks, 25 windshield, 2 mile walk
    Day four: 3x15 swimmers presses, 3 x 21s, 3 x 15 chest flys, 3 x 15 tricep kickbacks, 3 x 15 lawnmowers, 3 x 15 woodchops, 150 crunches

    Calories: 2/4 (ugh)
    Water: 4/4
    Weekly challenge: 300/500

    Somehow I misread the weekly challenge and thought I only had 300 crunches to do. Whoops! So I'm a little behind on crunches but I'm determined to get it done!! I'm going to try my best to do the high-low planks for the mini-challenge by Sunday, but I have a shoulder injury that might prevent it from happening. Hope y'all are nailing it this week!!

Huzzah! I don't have another comp till the first weekend of October, so I'll not have long absences again.

    Michele asked me to post them for this week as she can't do it from her phone and she's at a conference... But I don't think they've been posted to Gary's blog site yet. Here's the site: http://mfpchallenges.blogspot.com/ and I'll check it every hour before I go to bed tonight and if he's put it up, I'll repost it here. If someone else catches it before me, just copy and past the two challenges here. :smile:

    Thanks!

    Ok team, I didn't do to well this week.

    Weight 208.8 (same as last week)

    I exercised 4/6 days (very busy weekend)
    I only did 50 crunches and 0 hi lows.

    I think this is all the info you need...

    Weekly challenge 4/6 days.

    I figure I didn't gain weight this week so it shouldn't be that bad right?

    Due to basement flooding and trying to get it cleaned up before I go out of town this weekend I haven't been very good with the exercises. I did Mondays. Water is not a problem and neither is calories. I am sorry for this, but I have to get the basement done. We are both highly allergic to mold...any advise or ideas? I am shop vacing the carpets over and over again and we have fans down there...

    I'm behind but I plan on catching up tonight...I'll post my progress later!

    Moonnstarz83-just take care of you, we wouldn't want you getting sick. Seems like you are on the right track with the vacuuming and fans. I'm not sure how much a dehumidifier is but maybe they have them for rent somewhere???
