    Hi,
    I am new at this. I tried WW but got tired of it. I heard about the myfitnesspall website and it looks motivating.
    Is it too late to join in your challenge?

    The Wednesday workout was great, not quite as difficult for me, but still challenging!

    Just done Monday's it was okay but not that difficult for me as I am pretty fit already. However, I don't have dumbells or a medicine ball so maybe if I try it at the gym with the equipment it might be a bit more challenging. Great workout though still got my heart pumping :D

    How many reps did you do of each set? I did three like it said on the plan but thinking should I do more or work my way into it like the guy says in the video?

    I only did 3. Friday is a bit different. You only do 2 sets. So I also did the 10 minute tune up or tone up whatever. Ended up being about a 45 minute workout.

    Oh no :-(

    I hope you feel better soon and don’t do any exercise until you feel 100% fit because its not worth getting sick for. Just try and eat as clean and healthy as possible whilst you are out of action :-)

    Good luck with the presentation xx

    I started week 2 today and Sonya you are right its not as bad! x

    I'm almost done with week 2 and definitely feeling a difference. At first I felt maybe the muscle work was hindering my run, but I did some research and found that this workout is very similar to ones that are made for runners. Stronger legs and butt will make me a faster stronger runner, so I'm on track. I think I might actually get a loss this week, too! :)

    I am now feeling better.... not my best, but better.
    I will continue on the workouts and my runs.

    WI is tomorrow.... I am hoping for a loss, especially with the decreased appetite.... but no exercise may bring a gain as I am normally quite active. We will see.

    Don't give up ladies.
