    Finished this one for the third time today. I bumped up the weights to 5s and 8s and did quite well. I also adjusted the pushups to do them in regular position on an incline instead of the "girlie" ones because I think that will get me to real pushups faster. I did much better on the bicycles, although I did have to stop and do upper only for a few seconds.

    I'm finding that I am able to go much lower on the squats than I thought I could and I just need to suck it up and push myself to do more than I think I can if I want to get results. Since I have this mud run coming up, I have GOT to get stronger and I can already feel it starting to happen. Yay!

    Brilliant progress in all areas! You will be seeing some amazzzing changes soon, i'm sure!!
    ps i use similar weights to you - 8.8lbs (4kgs) and 5.5lbs (2.5kgs) - and i find that they really "make" the workout.

    Dawn, you are such an awesome cheerleader! It is much appreciated. :)

    This one's in the books for me. I had to take an unexpected off day so I'm planning to do workout 2 later today so I can start fresh with the next round on Monday.

    Phase 1, Workout 1, Day one done (plus cardio) back to back because I am not a full human being in the morning, so I can only do it after workout 1. The weight training part seem to be reasonable (and by reasonable I mean challenging but somehow doable). The cardio... there were parts I was like, "are you nuts?" i.e. running man or the last one in which she trips and falls... but I am glad I did it :) 1 down, 89 to go ;)
