Hello!!!! For today: Bushmen and tabata: done Calories: Under Water: Over 5k run: done Have a good night!!! Merri

Hi Cheryl, Tabata and bushmen are done for today. Calories: under Water: over When I go to the gym I usually burn over 1,000 calories in one workout so I'll keep you posted when I do that. I'm very good at the treadmill at working with speed and incline intervals - I can burn lots of calories. I'm off this week so no gym.…

Hi Cheryl, I completed the pygmy exercises today. I am over on water and under on calories. I also ran 4 miles which should give our team an extra point as today was not my normal running day. I am truly exhausted. Definitely going to bed early tonight. Hope everyone has a nice evening!! Thanks, Merri

Today's challenges are completed. I'm over on water and under on calories. Congrats Cheryl on the time for the walk/jog - that is AWESOME!!!! I will run at least a 5k tomorrow (not my normal running day) with my brand new sneakers from the running store ( they were matched to my feet) - can't wait to try them out. Have a…

Hi Everyone. Just finished cleaning up from my family bbq to unofficially end summer. My kids go back to school tomorrow. I kind of wimped out today and did the pygmy challenges - 1 minute bear walk, 100 Jumping Jacks, 50 Crunches, 25 Split Squats and a 1.5 mile walk. I am over on my water for today and under for my…

Hi. Forgot to log on last night to confirm that I was under calories yesterday. Today is a rest day for me HOWEVER, I achieved one of my goals today that I set for myself in January when I began my quest to get fit and healthy. Today, for the first time ever I ran 5 straight miles without stopping. Yup, today I ran the…

Happy Saturday everyone. After walking 3 miles this morning I decided to run 2 miles and then I walked another mile. After 6 miles and a lot of water I completed day 3 of the Bushmen series and Tabata - man am I tired :)) So far I have had 12 cups of water. I am going out this evening. Anyone watch Jersey Shore? I'm…

Hey There Everyone!!!!! TGIF cause I'm exhausted. Day 2 done of Bushman done. I stopped counting at 12 cups of water and was way under my calories for today. Here's to a long weekend :))

Ok - I'm done for the day. I completed the following: 50 squat kicks, 50 jumping jacks, 50 crunches, 50 mountain climbers, 50 wood chops, 50 globe jumps and I also completed the mini challenge - the bear walk. I walked like a bear for 3 minutes and 4 seconds and it was incredibly hard - not to mention that I now feel sick…

Good Morning. My day also started at 4:45 am for my regular workout. I will complete the exercises and the challenge tonight and post on here when completed. My starting weight is 167 and I have already completed my water goal for the day (not bad for 9:37am). As an FYI, I generally will do these exercises and challenges…

Ok, I'm the question girl today as I have another question. Do I need to log these exercises on MFP or do I just let you know when I've done them each day?

Thanks - I'll google them!!!!

Question - where are the video's? I'm not familiar with some of the exercises and am interested in watching the video mentioned below the advanced exercises. Thanks - can't wait to start!!!!

I'm still in. I got a little sidetracked with Irene this weekend but the power is back on and we are getting back to normal. I'm very excited for September!!!

I'm in NJ and my office building shook for at least 30 seconds. It was truly frightening. Hang in there and I agree that wine is ok given today's events :))

Hi Team!!!! My name is Merri and I am also very excited to do this challenge with all of you! I'm a gym rat. I was a tomboy growing up. I played many sports but was the best at basketball. I was fortunate enough to play in college but I blew out my left knee. 7 knee operations and 3 kids later I was told no more athletics.…

I also love challenges and I'm a very avid walker. Last year I challenged myself to walk 30 miles a week x 52 weeks = 1560 miles. I started in April when the weather was very cooperative. I wasn't really thinking about what would happen in the winter months as I live in NJ. I joined my gym at work and was able to use the…

I have done both. When I first began exercising I tried the 30 DS and thought it was tough (January 2011). I got great results and continued to exercise in a gym with classes. Then in June I decided to try Ripped in 30. I found the exercises to be much more intense but I loved the workout. I have to say I was ripped in 30…

I have done both the 30 DS and Ripped in 30. Week 3 of Ripped in 30 was by the far the hardest of all the circuits. I definitely was ripped when I was done with Ripped in 30 - the muscle toning and definition for me was shocking. I found it comical that after I finished Ripped in 30 I started 30 DS the very next day and…
