    Good job! Keep up the awesome work!

    It's so nice when you realize that all that hard work your putting in is actually so totally worth it!

    Thanks @ladyreva78! I will definitely have to check those out. I would love to get a personal trainer for a bit just to get some assistance with this. Our gym is unattended so don't have that option. :(

    Eh. I'm lucky that the owner of the company I'm currently working for is a fitness fanatic. He sponsored an in-house gym with a PT who's present 2x a week. We're all allowed to sign up for an hour with him every 2 weeks. It's one of the few benefits that kept me there for as long as I was. I'm quitting end of May and I will seriously miss that guy! Starting college again in September, so I'll have a gym there, but also unattended, reason why I'm starting to looking into structured programs. I suck at improvising. :tongue:

    2 abs are doing rest days, I think I'll do my rest day tomorrow. So another day fixing to be down. Question? What is a bridge and a side bridge? Couldn't find a sample of it. Thanks

    @stella7x7

    This is a bridge (simple version):

    This is a side bridge (personally I call it a side plank, but I think it's the same thing):

    DOMS had me down for the count. Days 8, 9 & 10 done.

    Day 8
    Each & every one of you MFP friends motivate & inspire me daily. Thank you.

    Day 9
    One of my favorite quotes since I was a teenager:

    "The way to have an uncloudy day is to make a decision to see." -C. Tillery Banks

    Day 10
    I have a number of unhealthy habits but my two biggest are 1) not getting enough sleep and, the older I get 2) allowing life's ups & downs to completely derail me.

    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX



    Have a great weekend!

    @tdbernrd I love bridges too... sadly they do not love me much. I can do static planks like a pro. The bridges are still killing me. But give me time. I'll slay those buggers as well!

    @ladyreva78 I suck at planks. Pilates has helped me with them but I try to avoid them. The worst bridge I did was with my feet on weight bench. I could barely walk the next day. :'(

    Day 11 done. My sore thighs would not allow me to do the 15 second bridge, THE STRUGGLE IS REAL.

    I bought some new shower curtains & liners this week, perfect! Now to tackle the rest.

    If I could go anywhere, I'd go to one of the Poles. I'd love to see them before they're gone.

    Hahaha bless you! Amazing effort and dedication my dear. Scissors I can handle, crunches - my mortal enemy!

    Tomorrow looks like a bag of laughs too...
