    *Modification for Burpees - get down on the floor on your hands and knees (four on the floor) and then quickly go to standing position and raise your hands above your head and then immediately return to the 4 on the floor position and repeat.

    OK ladies, I've completed everything but went over my cals on Tuesday. I'm feeling a little disheartened though. I've gained 1.6 lbs. :sad: I am on my period and feeling bloated this morning. Not sure if that's an excuse of if we really gain weight when on our periods. We'll see next week I suppose.:laugh:

    The interview was FLAWLESS! My best interview to date so I'll be REALLY upset if I dont get the job. I'll find out Tuesday or Thursday, but if they have a few "favorite applicants" they may ask for a second interview - holding my breathe until then! :indifferent:

    Keeping my fingers crossed for you ajessie.

    Not sure if anyone wants it, but here how you get the wappo warrior banner. Thanks to another tribesman from another team.

    copy this into your signature: idMVA.jpg
    then change both the "IMG" to "img", be sure to keep the brackets and slash mark

    Good luck this week ladies. For some reason it doesn't appear(on screen) as bad as last week except for the 5 mile run everyday. (I'm doing the bushmen series) but I guess we'll see. :tongue:

    Just wondering what you guys are doing when we have our weight days. I've been doing 3 rounds of each set of exercises? Are you doing the same or are you doing your sets one after the other?

    So this is what i do.. when i pick heavy weights i give a 30 sec rest between the sets of 1 workout and i give 1-2 minutes rest between each workout because unlike cardio we dont have to keep our heart rate up when we do Weight training.. and the muscles need some time to recover too.. in order to get ready for the next workout.... and i drink Milk after my workouts immediatly coz it helps in the recovery of muscles ..

    Hence u get lees sore the next day :wink:

    woohooo..
