I guess Im a day ahead of everyone as Im in Australia, different time zone and all.

I woke up on Day 2 with sore thighs, I ran on the spot for 5 mins to loosen them up before starting.
I felt the stretching in my thighs when I was working out.

I still got all sweaty and red faced, but I mentally found it easier as I could concentrate on what I was doing as I knew what the exercises were going to be.

I took a couple of 5 second breaks, so my intial goal is to get through it without any small rests.

I wonder how sore I will be tomorrow morning LOL

  • I started a day early, so I just finished my day 2 workout. I also found today to be easier, just because I knew what to expect. The only thing I had tougher time with was the pushups and arm workouts, and I think it's because I'm using 5lb weights because they're the lightest I have. I think that each day is going to get easier now until level 2!!

    I was sore today but the exercises weren't harder to do b/c of that so that's a plus. Took my measurements this a.m. so I'm excited to see where I'll be in 28 days!

    Today was also my day 2. I was sore today but made myself work out. I found that about half of the way through the first rotation, my soreness faded quite a bit. The hardest exercise for me is the side lunges with the weights, for some reason, my arms just want to give up! I look forward to being able to keep with 'the girls' through all the reps of that one.

    hehe. in NZ so i'm ahead, also. i'm a bit sore, i admit.
    my fiance gave me a leg rub which made me feel much better afterward - i find that the stretches demonstrated aren't enough for me. i really need to take my time warming up and slowing back down - i want to be able to walk tomorrow!

    My legs are feelin fabulous (muscle build up from being a waitress for 5 years, probably :tongue: ) My shoulders, however, are another story lol. Even though I carry huge trays of food and buckets of ice at work, they are definitely not in the shape I thought they were...can't wait to see how strong they are in less than a month! :happy:

    I am two days ahead and finished day 4 last night. I started with 3 lbs weights and on day 3 did 3 lbs and 5 lbs. Day 4 I did all 5lbs weights. Amazing that in 4 days I could progress 2 lbs up. I will say day 4 was much easier than day 1 or 2. When you think you can't go on, just keep saying it's only 25 mins total beginning to end!

    Can't wait to see everyone's progress.
  • After doing Day 2 yesterday, I actually woke up this morning feeling better than I did after Day 1. My arms and shoulders are really the only part that's a little sore. I CAN do this!!!
  • My legs hurt for sure! I feel like I might fall down the steps when I walk down them :) But I'm glad to be sore and can't wait to see how I feel tomorrow after doing day 2! Keep up the good work ladies!!!!

    I just finished day 2 and it's funny because I wasn't sore at all after day 1 but my legs were like jelly when I woke up this morning. A bunch of the soreness in my legs faded after the first circuit. Hope the days keep getting easier!

    Day 2: ouchy!! survived. I hate that you can't pause... I wanted a sip of water missed some jumping jacks tried to go back and ended up having to do part 1 a second time. ugh! At least I get an extra 7 mins of calorie burn!!

    Done! And with no pausing...woot woot! Feeling more sore than I did before the workout but I take that as a good sign :happy: 28 days to go!!

    Day 2 is DONE....28 more to go!!! I was able to hang in there pretty well today. The only thing that almost killed me were push-ups, I felt like my arms were to snap off! Instead of using my little old soup cans for weights today, I used a couple of 1 liter water bottles and i could definitely tell a difference, the chest flys felt so much more useful today.

    Keep it up everyone, day 30 will be here before we know it!

    finished day 2. i was debating whether to do today or not, my muscles were incredibly sore. but i told myself, if you dont do your workout today you will always have that same excuse to not do it the next day and the next day. so i sucked it up and did my workout. it was painful, but i didnt get nearly as hot as last time and it felt good to work those sore muscles. now hopefully tomoro my legs are better. :)
  • Just finished Day 3. Im building endurance!

    Day 2 is done. Thanks ladies...you guys are definitely keeping me motivated. I can't wait to see the end results for all of us!
  • Just finished level 1 day 2, but barely! So glad it's over with for today! It was a struggle to get myself motivated to do it, but I always feel better once I'm done.

    My thighs are not happy. Stairs make them sad, sitting down and standing up makes them sad, and I have a feeling that the 45 minutes I plan to spend on the elliptical tomorrow morning will do nothing to improve their mood. :grumble:

    In terms of the workout, I guess today went a little better. I wasn't terribly motivated, but I did it anyway. The cardio isn't too bad for me, but I have a lot of trouble with the different crunches. I think there's still a bit too much of me to bend that way.

    Keep up the good work, everyone! :)

    Can we say SORE?! All day today steps were my enemy and my thighs reminded me quite clear they were still unhappy about those squats and lunges :) I did my 1 mile walk first to loosen up my muscles, then grinned and beared it. Now I just want to jump up and down and sing "I will survive" Looking forward to tomorrow!
