    jakesgirl, thanks for the encouragement! I'm catching up to you :laugh: -- I just completed Day 2 Level 1 and I am thrilled to be DONE (with the "shred" for today) ... now I have another 5,000 steps to walk to meet my Fitbit exercise goal for the day. WOO HOO, I'm NOT giving up this time:bigsmile:

    Week one, day one complete! I am so much stronger than the last time I attempted to do this. I followed it up with Day 4 of 5 from the daily hiit beginner challenge. :)

    I am worried though, because at the end of the month, I am hosting people for a week and a half. How do you squeeze in these workouts in a tiny apartment full of guests?

    I'm using two pound weights. I figure at this level I'm going to give myself resistance but I don't want to kill it. That will come later u hope lol!

    Ohtender, congrats on your first day!! When your guests are visiting, you can either invite them to work out with you OR give them the opportunity to explore on their own. It can be a lot of fun to do an exercise video with friends:drinker:

    jakesgirl, I should have started with 2lb weights instead of the 5lbs but I know that if I use the lighter weights, I tend to wobble like a weeble when I'm doing the lunge/bicep curl combo :bigsmile:

    Merrylass4ever,
    Lol! Wow! That is awesome! 5 lbs would do me in haha! My arms get really tired doing the workout. My lower body seems on though. Day five here I come!

    WOO HOO!! Day 3, Level 1 is DONE!! Yippee ... sad that I would be so excited to complete the day's exercise but it was a toughie today. I'm also walking 10,000 steps per day (love my Fitbit) and usually it's not too bad BUT with all the rain today, I wasn't able to walk until right before doing the 30-day shred ... I survived but barely :noway:

    Hope everyone else is doing well!! We CAN DO THIS!!!

    That is great! It is so wonderful that you are motivated and hanging in there! I finished my 30DS as well! Yay! Its a challenge, but I keep coming back and doing it! Can't get out to gym or walk, hubby getting home late so gotta stay home with kiddos. I'll make up for it tomorrow though!!! Great job Merrylass! You're awesome!

    I dont have weights, but I have been using wine bottles. I worked at a winery, so I have a lot of wine, and I know that they are 3 pounds each. haha! :drinker: :laugh:

    I was thinking about inviting them to do it too! Either that, or me doing cardio and cursing being their alarm clock. :tongue:

    YIPPEE, SKIPPY!! Day 4, Level 1 done!! In some ways it was less painful than yesterday but I still hate jumping jacks the most ... even with a really good sports bra, the "bounce" is not comfortable :embarassed:

    I hope everyone is doing well!

    Missy, welcome to the challenge! :flowerforyou:

    Jakesgirl, way to go -- I'm still working to catch up to you! :laugh:

    ohtender, your guests will have a hoot -- whether they join you in the workout or curse at you for waking them up in such a novel way:bigsmile:

    Hey everyone!

    Sorry, I'm lagging a bit behind! I'm only doing it Monday - Friday, but couldn't manage on Wednesday as I gave blood!

    Day 5 for me tonight.

    Keep up the good work everyone!
