Today felt easier once i started the workout, but my motivation to get on with it was non existent :-(....... this was a bad day for me working out on a Sunday morning. But i sucked it up and got on with it, feel better now though !!!!

    I've noticed some things are getting easier to do, but others are just as difficult if not more because I'm sore. I really suck at the push ups. I've been doing the girl ones on the knees, but still can't do them properly or finish the entire set.

    day 3 done! definitely felt better today (probably because I ran yesterday before doing it) still struggling to do the bicycle crunches at the end because my legs feel like they weigh a ton!

    Day 3 finished. I agree with other posts... some things seem easier while others seem just as hard or harder. Push ups are still the worst, and I am doing the girl version, too. I've been using the 3 pound weights; but tomorrow am going to try and use 5s for the chest flys and rows.

    One thing a trainer told me is to push up with your eal not your toes/ball of foot when doing lunges.

    I did Day 1, but the front of my legs were too sore to do Day 2, I absolutely no motivation to do Day 3, but after reading your post, I'm thinking that if she can do it, so can I, so off I go!

    I'm glad to see others mentioning today being easier because, dare I say, I found today to be the easiest. Maybe easy is the wrong word. Today felt like 20 minutes while Day 1 and 2 for me felt longer for some reason.

    Push ups are killer but yesterday I did all girl push-ups and knew if I pushed myself I could do regular push-ups. So today I did the first set of push-ups non-girl style. I did almost the whole set but I ended up feeling wobbly and doing about two girl style at the end.

    I'm patting myself on the back because today I got through both jumping jack sets (barely) in the cardio section but had to break on the second jump rope. That two minute cardio with no break is so hard!

    Way to go! I agree - for some reason that two minutes kicks my butt!

    I'm still struggling, especially with the cardio. I did more of each before switching to in place marching, though. I did one set of push ups girl-style and one set against the wall.

    The squats and presses are still hard for me. I did one set and then some with my two pound weights and finished it without weights.

    The bicycle abs are killing me--by the end of the workout my legs don't quite do what I tell them to. I did a few of the bicycle ones and the switched to regular crunches for a bit and then switched back.

    I'm lapping everyone on the couch, I tell myself, even if I can't even match Anita !

    Same here. I wish I could do push ups better but I find even the girlie ones HARD!! I have no upper body strength. I can't imagine I will be able yo do them by the end of the 30 days :(
