Well I am excited...Day 1. It didn't take as much time as I thought it would but it was more work than I thought it would be. I am not new to lifting, I am not even new to lifting heavy but I am new to the "total body" concept. I used to lift chest and tris, back and bis, then legs and shoulders so this is different. I have to say I was really sweating this morning. I normally don't really sweat while lifting (even running, it takes me about a mile before I start to sweat). Today it was pouring down my back...very exciting, gross but exciting. Let's see how I feel tomorrow morning :-) I just wanted to say "Yay!" I am on the road to buff :-)

Sure!!
Are you sore today? I am not! I wanted too. I have also been doing weights for almost a year now. At the beginning I was sore after each session, but not recently.
I guess I have no excuses and I´ll go jogging today.0 -
I have been lifting pretty steady since January...so I am not sore. I can tell I did a little somethin' - somethin' but I am not crawling down the hallway and taking advil or anything :-). I ran this morning...you are good for your jog. Looking forward to tomorrow, deadlifts- it has been a minute since I have done those.0

I started Stage 1 at least 4 times (and didn't finish the stage until this last try). I don't really know why, I guess I just wasn't committed. Well fast forward a few months, and today was my first Stage 3B workout! The beginning of a new stage is always a little challenging, but I have to say, I enjoy the workout and I enjoy what working out has done for my body.
The hardest part for me, was getting over the intimidation factor at the gym. But now I'm a regular, who shares the machines with all the crazy weight lifting guys, and I'm just a 51 year old mom trying to get fit.
I wish you all the best of luck. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised to see how strong you really are!!0 -
I'm starting my first workout today. I'm pumped!0

Jealous of you all - i still have to buy equipment!!0

Okay I have officially started as of today. I'm feeling pretty good.
How are the other people who started Stage 1 recently doing? I fell like I saw a bunch of people start last week so wondering how is week 2 of stage 1 going? Any lessons learned so far?0 -
Week 2 Stage 1...workout B2...not too shabby...I was a little sore last week...well not sore-sore, more like I could tell I had been working. It has been a while since I have done dead lifts...I noticed that in my hamstrings and my bum :-) All is well...pressing on to A3 on Wednesday....0

Keep working that jackknife...I found that doing it in front of a mirror (facing the mirror) squared it away for me...

I did my day 1 yesterday and am feeling it in my abs. And my neck is a little sore, more from the pressure of the bar.
Although, I did not do as many push ups as I was suppose to, but I did as many as a could.0 -

Good job!
I'm about two weeks into stage 1. I am really starting to feel it.
I have had some help from one of the trainers at the gym to help with my form. Nevertheless my back is a little twingy today after my morning work out, so I am going to have to be careful.0
