I think I'm going to workout 6 days then break for 1!! I'm still gonna complete each for 10 days I personally can't workout 7 days a week!!! Do what you think your body needs!!!0

If you feel you need a rest day take it. Don't get injured doing this or any exercise! Good luck!0

I wasn't going to take a break but since I got hustled in to working a 21 hour weekend I think I'll be skipping today. But I'll be non stop till the 31!!! (Hopefully)0

It's better to take a break for a day than to end up with an injury. But maybe you could do some light stretching to loosen things up a bit...it helps me as long as I am careful.0

Listen to your body! If you think you need a rest day, definitely take one. Much better than risking injury, IMO

If you are just sore, push through it. It gets better about day 4. My thighs and calves were killing me too but Day 4 was better and today was day 6.0

I took a rest day today because I slept in and didn't have time to workout for the rest of the day
I'll be going flat out until the 31st though hopefully.
I say, if you need a day then take it. Your body is getting used to a new workout though so it's bound to be a little sore. If you can, try and push through but if it's too painful then take a day to recover. You don't want to push too hard and injure yourself and be unable to finish the challenge. Listen to your body.0 -
I can't believe how sore I was after day 1! Everything hurt! I didn't think I'd be able to do day 2, but it was actually easier than day 1. It's mostly abs and glutes for me. I like the feeling that I am working these muscles. Hopefully I'm not more sore tomorrow. 0

I told my daughter she had to keep me on track. I don't want to take a day off. I am afraid if I take one day it will lead to two and so on. I want to go the straight 30 days and see what happens. It is only 20 minutes after all. I know I can do 20 minutes a day if I don't let myself slack off.0
