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.0 -
Day 1-pygme done
Day 2-pygme done
Day 3 pygme done

I just found out about the sideways plank and I am going to try to get that done to.0 -
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:0 -

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.0 -
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!!0 -
so its the end of the week
How did everyone do?? Well I hope x0 -

Sorry I've been MIA the past few days - had another BBQ competition. Team did really well, took home 4 trophies. :happy: I also really watched my food and water intake and was down this week. Huzzah! I don't have another comp till the first weekend of October, so I'll not have long absences again.
Goodluck with the next week everyone! We're doing GREAT.0 -

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.
Thanks!0 -

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...0
-
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???0
