Okay, I haven't checked in in a few days ~ had to lay off the sit ups for a couple of days, I think I might have been doing them wrong - but the soreness definately got the best of me. I'm starting again tomorrow on Week 2 Day 1 - I googled proper sit up form and I'm hoping I do it right this time.

Don't go thinkin' I've just been sitting on my bum though - I've been doing weights, jump rope, resistance bands, and walking - and tomorrow, I'll be crunching again.:bigsmile: See ya then.

Yeh Lulu!!! Press on woman! (sweat)

Today I completed week 4 day 2. I am really feeling the muscles by the end!:ohwell: I love the break between sets.

The push ups are a different story. Working on week 2. Couldn't finish today. I may go down one level to keep doing the program.

eriny

j_g4ever
