    the first time I tried the burpees thought I was gonna collapse. They are great and I have grown to appreciate them.

    I have received several friend request that wants to know if they can still join the challenge. That is fine. Please post your beginning check-in asap. You will still need to check-in on Friday for the 1st week check in & you won't be able to receive the extra point for completing all of the daily challenges but make you post your total exercise minutes from Friday to Thursday to receive points for your exercise. Also, if you complete the bonus challenge you will recieve an extra point.

    Good luck,

    Tina

    Also,

    Remember that if aren't able to complete the challenges/exercises please substitute them with something that you are capable of doing. Youtube has some really good videos showing the exercises. Also, drink plenty of water(8 glasses of 8 ounces of water) and stay under your target daily calories. (your target calories is what you set--for example my is atleast 1200 calories a day and I never eat back all of my exercise calories)

    Yea...ok...a bit soar right now, but not too too bad--thank goodness. Honesty moment: Not really looking forward to the 100 jumping jacks, but hey, it's better than those friggin Power Jumps from Insanity. :noway:

    Got all challanges up to date so far, and tomorrow's walk in already. Will be scuba diving tomorrow and don't have a lot of energy afterwards to do much, but the tricep curls I can do before I leave. Have managed to get in about 25 burpees in so far. Slow with them, but at least I'm getting better.

    LOL, Glad to see everyone loves the burpees as much as I do. I dislike the BEAR WALK even more but we want those results and they work. I want my thighs smaller and my buns firm & tight. LOL

    I didn’t do the challenges, but I did do: M-20 Mins HIIT on elliptical, T-Cathe Slow and Heavy Triceps & Biceps, Loads of housework, W-20 mins HIIT elliptical, Th-Cathe, slow and heavy chest back and abs, F-cathe stretch max with stability ball. Feels awesome! I’m achy everywhere and my appetite is in check after detox from the crap.
    I also managed 3+liters of water each day and kept under my calorie limit!
