    Steph, I can't believe i!! My husband actually commented on how good my legs look in my shorts. Not just a generic compliment either. He said that my legs look really toned and you can start to see definition. He says that all those zumba classes and personal training sessions are paying off! I was stoked!!
    Congrats on the wonderful compliment from your husband Leela!! That's gotta feel so good! Your hard work is paying off in wonderful ways! :drinker:

    OH! I did my 30's today! 5 real push ups (what happened?!?!) up to 15 knees, 15 squats, 15 knee push ups, 30 bicycle crunches. Zumba and the Shred are really working my arms. I'm taking tomorrow "off" from the Shred, and other workouts, but I'm still gonna do my 30!

    Thursday- Day 4: done!
    I actually did 40 squats instead of 30! I have to change my lunges to sit ups because the lunges and jump squats are too hard on my knees. Got in 30 push ups too. Trying to work my way up to "real" push ups instead of girlie ones. But the girlie ones are tough, esp the last 5 or 6. I'm trying to do all the movements at one time instead of breaking it up like 15 in the morning and 15 in the afternoon. I think it is more effective that way.
    It's been a little quiet around here lately. Everyone keeping up with their challenges?

    I hear ya with the last few push ups! :drinker: Feel the burn! I do them all at once too, even if I have to take a tiny break and do a different move for a few reps. I enjoy my little 20 calorie burn. :laugh:

    If you have to take a tiny break, make sure you take it in the "up" position, then it turns into a plank and who wants to stay in that position longer than necessary? lol

    It's very quiet! :grumble:

    I did 30 lunges, 30 squats and 30 hammer curls the day before yesterday:)
    Yesterday I did 30 squats, 30 lunges and 30 situps.
    Today I'm going to do 30 full sit ups, 30 oblique twists and 30 sumo squats!

    :drinker: to those that are sticking with it! We're almost half way there :bigsmile:

    sumo squats are killer. if you have been doing them for 13 days I'm sure you're really feeling it! Today is only my day 5, but I am going to do it for 30 days even if this thread finishes before me. It's just I want to finish what I started, even if its on my own!

    Sure is quiet! Just rocked my 30 second planks, 30 knee pushups (I did 10 toe pushups with 30DS) and 30 lunges. I basically did walking lunges around my living room. Not ideal but the weather is crap and my basement is a mess!

    Happy Friday- yay for the weekend!

    Good job Nikki! YAY!! I kind of want to keep doing something like this afterward. LOL! Like until I can do 30 push ups in a row! That would be amazing!

    Nice work BeckyJill!

    I did mine yesterday with 8 real push ups.

    hubby caught me doing girlie push ups today and made me do regular ones on my toes. I was only able to do them in 5 at a time. I did 4 consecutive sets. Along with the 10 girlie ones I had already done. Had to admit, it felt great!

    Awesome boost Leela!! Good thing you've got someone watching! :glasses: (<--- he's secretly watching you, undercover) I always feel like I COULD maybe pick it up again and try more, but then I think... Why? They won't count toward my total in a row? Horrible thinking, right? I'm terrible. Man... :laugh:

    steph, there is some twisted logic in there somewhere. I just finished my all my 30s exercises. The earlier I do them, the better!

    I like starting with push ups cause they make me warm (but not fuzzy). :laugh: I did mine yesterday and got 8 real push ups. Then, during the Shred, I thought about you Leela, and did about 3 more (all I could do after the first round) with the rest on knees (as usual). :bigsmile:

    Steph, I'm so glad that you pushed through and did 8 real push ups! I know what you mean about the Shred, Jillian is tough. But I'm so proud of you, it will get easier.

    Monday: Day 6
    Tuesday: Day 7
    Wednesday: Day 7
    I'm taking the day off today, it would have been by day 8. I'm just so sore from training yesterday and I have zumba tonight. I will try to get in the abs and the squats, but the push ups are definitely out of the question the way I'm feeling this morning.

    Great work! I can't go past 10 full ones...my arms start to cave then I get nervous! I think it's a mental thing. The weather is going to be yucky here all May long weekend!

    I only did a part of my 30's today (now that I'm back from the weekend). I did one push up and had to go to my knees. For some reason my wrist is hurting, even though it should be BETTER with so much time away from the computer. :grumble: Back to it tomorrow!
