oh my goodness -- i just finished my first Workout 4. Definately have to work on my balance - I am pretty wobbly with standing-on-one-leg-while-doing-deadlifts. And then the knee-down-stand-up routine is tough! i'll keep at it - I bet next week will be much better!

I am with you! The one legged really got me! I had to put and extra cusion down for the surrenders and lose the weights hurt my ankles way too bad!

Cardio 2 this morning. I missed my workout yesterday but I'm trying not to dwell on it.
I had a terrible workout today I usually love Cardio 2, even the burpees, but today my quads were killing me! And my left calf seized up for some reason - it was really bad during the fast feet and ski jumps It got really tight and achy. It's never happened to me before.
On the bright side, I powered through and substituted with butt kicks every time I felt my calf hurting so at least I didn't stop?
Sigh.

This morning was Cardio 2 for the first time. I really like Cardio 2! Much better than cardio 1. I even did the burpees at the end. I usually punk out of doing the burpees....! But not this morning, cardio 2 done, burpees and all!

High five Poeticmoe!

Thanks!

Workout 5 and 6 are kicking my butt! Started on sunday with 5 and 6 yesterday and I am back to being extremely sore. having trouble with form on some of the moves. I hoping that I get a little more flexibility back by morning to hit 5 again. Anyone doing any extra stretches that help with the hip flexor, butt and hams?

Tried to do Cardio 2 last night but my laptop kept freezing. I went to the gym at my complex and did elliptical instead. Definitely not as intense of a workout I did pilates before that and boy do my abs burn.

Cardio 2 day. The best part of this morning's workout is the fact that I get to REST tomorrow!!

I am going to stay on Workouts 7/8 for an extra week, I think. I did the same for 5/6 and I am definitely better equipped to tackle these harder exercises because of that.

I have just my last WO4 and one more Cardio1 and then its on to Phase 2. I did really well weight-loss-wise with Kickstart. Then TOM and I gained back some... and then the long weekend and three different birthday dinners. (Man, cake is GOOD! But I haven't missed a workout. Last week went to Cape Cod and went for a run on the beach and did my stretches on the sand. (I was one of THOSE people

I will weigh in and do my measurements before starting Phase II. I am hoping for big changes but happy regardless... I am in this for the long haul so working out every day is major. I am getting stronger and not panting as much!

Good job everyone!

Week 4 day 2 done! I like 4 way more then 3... one more round of them and I'm on to Phase 2... yikes!!

What weights do you ladies use? I've been using 5lbs... I know I could/should go up but they are the heaviest I have. I'll have to pick up a heavier set this weekend.

Sounds like everyone is doing well and sticking to it. For those that are ahead of me (most are) I'd love to see your results when you complete the program.

Have a great weekend!
