Mandy - is she the blonde who says skipping makes her feel like a kid in Junior High (I'm assuming thats young!), or the dark haired one who always wears a baseball cap?

YES that feeling rocks! I think I'll have a week off and then start right back in again from Week 1, rather than doing cardio recovery for a week like in the middle of Month 1 and 2. If I have a weekend or an evening that I have 20 minutes, I have 4.5kg hand weights (I know theyre small!) that I can start working on my stoopid arm and shoulder strength. I'm going to start the threads again from Week 1, I think, see if there's anyone else it helps. It keeps me accountable and it might be good for others to lurk and read.

And invest in a new sports bra.

Thank goodness you said that, I find them so heavy and everyone here said noooo you'll need to increase soon. I wonder how I'll find them after 60 days of walking presses and planks?!

Yay for cheerleaders, I'll be there for any Shredders too. It's not about doing the exact same activity on the same day, we didnt do that during insanity, it's about supporting, and dayam have we got a good support structure

Impressed with your name recall! Funny how you home in on people who inspire you..and who annoy you!

Oh yes, good idea! I might actually watch 30DS and write down the weights and moves she used for arms so I know what to do and how many and for how long. I really like V flies...I used to do them with resistance bands because I have 'butterfly shoulders' which is not a pretty tattoo, but I had hardly any muscle between my shouder blades and terribly achey shoulders as a result. This has helped soooo much!

Jimmy I'm not a fan of, but I think it's him who's panting and says he's a coach and he needs to lead by example and almost redeems himself.

"dont let your feet get too wide.

...
..Joooosh! Dont let your feet get too wide!

....
..okay I'm coming to you!" Aaaaaah Josh run!

YES!! I was in hysterics when he corrected it to killing Akeel! I cringed when he mentioned sports bras, I would have been so miffed!

I wondered if people are almost told when to take their shirt off, when to take a break, to sort of show the things needed and show you CAN take a break if you need to? I suspect that they just get used to being told to take a break by Sean when their form aint good anymore, and used to taking off layers when they need to. I cant take any more off so I open the back door!

It's about 27 minutes when I did 30DS, when I logged it, and she does a lot of talking in between so you sometimes go over , if you keep going whilst she talks.

I did Max Cardio this morning - what session are you on today? (thursday). Might have slotted back together! I was still tired, my lovely Mr gave me an awesome head massage last night because I couldnt get to sleep - you know when you think about how you need to sleep need to sleep go to sleep why cant I sleep you have to be up in 6 hours and do Insanity so go to sleep go to sleep please come on sleep.

Head massage worked, fell asleep about 3 minutes after he stopped And this morning went well, better than I thought it would on 6.5 hours sleep!

Yay back in sync! cool struggling with Max Interval today - my asthma is terrible at the moment with the hayfever and I hear myself breathing laboriously. Slowly breathing today!

Mmmmm core cardio conditioning, less than 40 minutes long...lovely! Chest got tight and I couldnt breathe whilst doing the high jumps so I just did slow careful ones, got my breathing back to carry on. ALMOST able to stay in plie during those shoulder burners...no where near as low as they do but being able to stay down makes a change from having to stand and kick out my thighs at the beginning!

It's also 5.30pm, and I normally do this at 5.45am, so 'tis likely something there that made today a bit more fun. Now, back to our mission - codenamed 'let's clean the s**t out of our bedroom'. I'm about to hop in the shower...and then scrub! Hope you're having fun weekends too :P
