    I've just completed the kickstart week. I did the a.m. and p.m. workouts back-to-back mid morning as I do not have time to split them as stated in the schedule. Cardio 1 does seem quite repetitive when being done every day but at least you get chance to perfect the moves and gain some stamina before the intensity increases in cardio 2.

    Did WO1, but too full for cardio now. I will do them back to back in the AM. What did you think of the food? I had the eggs, salad w/ chicken instead of tuna, and the turkey burgers. Don't think I will make it to the snack. STUFFED!

    I did turkey burgers last night. Loved them although I had to improvise use and make my own black bean and corn salsa to go in them as I had no idea where or if something like that is available on the uk lol

    The sprouts and carrots are so good when roasted in the oven. They become sweet. I have used Newman's Own salsa (Paul Newman charity foods) and Amy's organic, I think the first was better. I will be repeating for dinner tonight. I only ate one. I love how on MFP you can create you recipe and it figures out the calories per serving.

    Nice work JAB! I only did WO 2. Messed up and did the wrong ones yesterday. Looking forward to getting of the quickstart meals, though they are good.

    good luck on your back-to-back cardio!

    I found them very repetitive during kickstart week - was so glad to have a day off from it when i started WOs 3 & 4!!

    Just completed day 4 dying on the couch after my cardio workout! It's so much harder doing both workouts after being on my feet all day at work! I'm off for a soak in the bath! I am enjoying this kickstart week but I won't be upset when it's over :D

    You are doing brilliantly, double cardio is strenuous in itself, never mind being done after a hard day's work. BUT I'm sure all your efforts will be rewarded! Keep up the great work!

    Hi,
    I started the kick start on Monday: Workout 1 in the morning and Cardio 1 in the evening. Both workouts were fine although my shoulders are killing me today. I've done workout 2 this morning and fingers crossed I will do the cardio in the evening. I'm not doing the kick start diet though. Hope you are all doing well!

    well done for making a start! Hope the shoulder pain eases off quickly! I kinda like feeling sore after a workout, its confirmation I've been working hard!
