    I've never done one of these before & I have the feeling I will be relying on youtube for instructions for quite a few of these (what the heck is a mermaid lol) but I wanted to give it a go... I have even made myself a excel spread sheet with each days exercises & check boxes... I do have 1 question though... are the bonus ones per day or per week? Like to get the week 1 bonus do I just do 100 extra burpees throughout the week or each day?

    Here are my starting stats...
    Weight:231.4
    Height: 5'7
    natural waist:42
    belly button Waist:49 (my belly button is really low in comparison to the widest area of my hips...so I'm not sure if I should use it or my natural waist)
    Hips:50
    Wrist:7.25
    Forearm:12.5

    I'm very nervous about this, but better now than never!

    You will do fine and find it's a lot of fun :) The bonus challenge is to be completed in the week. So you can do a little bit each day or if you want you can get them all done in one day. Totally up to you :happy:

    Well I did'nt manage to get in any exercise on the 1st, had a busy day and a New Years Day party at MIL's (which also meant I did not stay under calories) but I have made up for it today. Up at 6am, this is a huge deal for me as I am definately not a morning person :yawn: and out for a 5km run/walk then did the daily exercises and 25 Burpees. All before 7am, which is probably lucky because the temperature is going to be 41 (105??) here today!!!

    Goodness it is amazing how fast you lose your fitness, I have not done any real exercise pretty much for a whole month and boy did I feel every step of my run today, had to take quite a few walking breaks!! Going to start 30 Day Shred as well today and I think that may just kill me :laugh:

    I hope everyones New Year has started well :happy:
