Hi Team Beth!

Have you done the first weeks workout video? I did 2/3rds of it this morning (had to stop and get ready for work!) MAN, that 2/3rds WAS a workout! I must be out of shape or something, because I was sweating, and grunting, and barely breathing, haha! I have only been doing walks/jogs with my dog for the last few months - haven't done a workout video for awhile, so maybe I just need to get back into a more intense workout (than walking the dog.)

I'll be doing the other 1/3rd of the video probably on Saturday morning.

Keep going strong, team! We can do this!! I'm here for you if you need me! (Add me, if you haven't already!) ;)

    Yes - it was a butt-kicker (or should I say *kitten* kicker in honor of lil' Judith?) Can't wait to see Beth's appearance, hopefully she'll be in the next episode.

    Not yet! That's my plan for this evening b/c it is pouring rain here for the next two days. I'm a little worried b/c I watched the first few minutes and there seems to be a lot of burpees, planking, etc. and I have an arm/wrist/hand issue that precludes me putting weight on it, so I am going to have to modify a bunch of things on the fly :/

    And @ashleybreanna13, don't feel bad--we're all out of shape! :wink:

    My theory is that we won't see Beth until mid-season break. I think they are going to reveal her right before holiday break and we won't get solid answers on where she's been until Spring.

    Which is actually kind of motivating for us, I think--we have to stick it out just like Beth is! (Wherever she is...)

    I miss her, I don't want to wait that long! I want to jump into the screen and go save her :p

    This workout would be tough on someone who can't put weight on their wrist/hands, as there is one point where you put weight on your hands the whole exercise and it's tough even for someone who doesn't have sore hands/wrists. If you need help, ask! We can cheer you on ;)

    @jamielynnmobile - there's 3 exercises in that workout that puts body weight on hands/wrists, Burpees, Twisted Mountain Climber w/ Leg Lift & Crossover Toe Tap w/ Leg Lift. Maybe you could do 5 exercies for 50 seconds each 5 x (to get roughly the same time as the 8 for 3 rounds??). Here' the five - Ski Squat w/ Windmill Step, Boxer Squat with Flutter Kicks, Bridge Kicks, Double Jack w/a Squat, Reverse Lunge w/ a Skip.

    I didn't feel like I was doing the Bridge Kicks right - maybe I was....who knows, my body was numb by that point!

    Okay, did it! WHEW! That was *not* easy. I recruited hubby to do it too, so I didn't suffer alone ;p. I managed by dragging over our fluffy ottoman and resting my forearms on it for the burpees, mountain climbers and toe taps. @maphammonds Surprisingly, I didn't feel much from the Bridge Kicks either... (?) Man am I out of shape...

    Is anyone else a little daunted by the workload this week? I had to make a schedule to try to fit everything in before Friday...I hope the minutes don't keep increasing every week... :astonished:

    So let me see if I have this right...

    For Beginners:
    80 minutes cardio
    45 minutes strength
    21 minute boot camp video
    5 minute punishment
    Stay under calorie goal

    Are those the correct goals for this week? Am I missing anything? (I know the videos can count towards the cardio or strength)

    Good luck this week everyone! Cross your fingers that Beth comes back and we get a cool celebration dance video!
