I'm not doing this, so feel free to ignore me as a lazy cow.... but when we do them in BMF I'd say that in effort terms 1 'man' one is equivalent in effort to about 3 or 4 lady ones. So they make me do the lady ones so the rest of the class isn't held up waiting for me.

I can only do lady ones... so that's what I'm doing for the plan. Did week 2 day 1 yesterday and it was fine :)

I'm a bit scared of week 3 onwards though.

Jason, hope you're ok!

Hmm I dunno.

I would say a manly is about 1.5 - 2 laydees. I can do 50 manlies but doubt I could do 100 laydees - 200 would be out of the question (insert joke here ----->)

But you have to be at the point when you can do manlies at all - when I did some laydee ones on sat I always felt like I could do a few more but with the full on ones you enter a state of catastrophic collapse very quickly!

BTW our group is now 60 strong - if you haven't joined, please feel free!

I am sure we are the buffest group on FE by a long chalk (or will be, anyroad up):-)

Certainly not - its six week relative, not six week absolute (for all the Excel fans out there).

Welcome aboard!
