    I'm excited! At first I was a little nervous, because it wasn't categorized into "abs, legs and butt, upper body, etc" but now i'm really excited!

    April 1

    1. Did OK
    2. Felt very sloppy
    3. The first half was fine, but once the hip raises started I had a hard time. Did much better on that first move than I thought I would!
    4. Ha! My body would NOT lift. Couldn't do it.
    5. I was getting tired and only did the first couple of moves.
    6. Did pretty good. I had to rest a couple of times but was able to do the whole thing with good form.

    Lol! I actually really liked the first video. I did better on the hip raises than I expected, but I think my form was a bit sloppy. I really impressed myself with the rocking exercise... didn't think i'd even be able to do one! Did almost all of them! And i really burst through the pain of those oblique "praying" things.. And I did really well on the thigh workout! Granted, not every single thing and I had to rest a few seconds, but still! nice work everyone!

    Doing day 2 tonight! I'm not sure if I'm going to try the corset video.. I don't own a corset! I might substitute it for something similar. Maybe I'll just do it without it!

    Ahhh, this is awesome!! SO happy you guys had a great first day cause so did I! Those rocking boats are sooo difficult for me, but I tried to push through them. Day 2 here we come!! Whoo hoo!

    Also, Jen800 you don't need a corset, the video is meant to focus on that corset-looking-thin-waist! Awesome, right?! Give it a try!

    Keep up the great work you guys are doing
    (:

    1. I really liked this one, especially since I was doing it at 5:30 and the rest of the family was asleep. :)
    2. LOVED this...especially the cobra pushups.

    That was all I had time to do. I am in the office today and leave the house at 6:45. Normally I could do it after work but I have an appointment tonight and will not be getting home until 10 at the earliest. But I am happy. I was considering just taking today off, but didn't want to do that on day two, so just to keep with the new habit I got up earlier and got some of it done.

    Hey guys!

    I was INSANELY sore from Day 1, which is weird because nothing makes me sore and I hadn't been taking a break! My obliques... oh my obliques... I almost considered skipping today, but then I thought about telling the forum I didn't and got right back up and did it!


    April 2:

    Today went pretty well. Struggled a bit on those balancing arm-leg raises, as well as a few of the plank-y things (me and gravity have this.. hatred for eachother :P) but other than that I did quite well! I even did the corset workout :)

    7.5-8/10


    Good work everyone! keep it up!

    I'm going to do today as soon as I get the kids in bed. Today's videos look fun, but I am nervous about more abs today because they're still feeling Monday!!

    Sadly, I was cramming for exams today. I was also TOO sore to work out! I never took my break last week, so I took it today. I'll catch up on sunday :)


    Excellent work and great job to all of you who did day 3! keep going!

    Bodypop HIIT -- I loved this one!! The earthquake at the end was intense, but I love ab exercises so it was a good burn.
    Live While We're Young - I didn't have a chair so I just did inner thigh leg lifts
    Want You Back Arms - I love these, but 4 minutes straight? Wow.
    Butt Blaster & Slimmer Inner Thighs- My butt and legs are WARM right now!!!

    I missed day 8 & 9 cause I have a cold & I'm too sick to workout. It's so frustrating! Catching up is going to be brutal!!

    Hows everyone doing so far? the last 2 days were killer for my arms, and today my thighs are DYING from the third video.

    I'm a day behind, because I was forced to take a rest day today... but the Bikini Booty workout KILLED me. My fiance did it with me, and he was dying too. I had to lose my 5 pound weight partway through.

    So APRIL calendar is my first Blogilates calendar challenge!!
    I.am.LOVING IT!! :D
    Sooooo many planks that the heels of my hands can't handle so I have to keep breaking on those......but still, awesome!!
    I don't have much space and hiit cardio makes suuuuch a racket when you're jumping upstairs in the house and it echoes.....
    I've missed three random days due to all sorts of weird going ons but I love that its kicked me straight back on track the day after, each time! :D

    Aaaand....Food Baby HIIT first thing in the morning just about killed me in the best way possible!
    I've only just started up mfp properly so it's great to see Popsters on here!!! :D

    I'm really loving it, she's SO motivational!
    Being an ex ballerina, I love Pilates and yoga since its so close to it and I'm trying to gain back that body I had!

    I just did Cassey's sweat sexy treadmill print out a oh.my.life.....it killed me!! I had to modify it slightly but I didn't give up and woop woop I feel so good about it! :D
    So far, I feel MUCH fitter than I did at the beginning of the month! Just an over all slightly more fit and well feeling! :)

    How long have you been doing the workouts? And what are you results? :o

    That's really cool! Yeah, she's a perfect fit for you (; I've been doing her workouts for about 6 months and I have lost about 30 pounds. Crazy. I can now fit into a size 8 jeans coming from a steady 14 occasional 16. She has changed my life and has taught me how to properly eat and take care of myself.

    Oh, and the treadmill print out...I KNOW. So killer.

    Whoo! September's almost here. Can't wait!!! Hopefully by the end of the month I'll be almost at my GW(:
