    Hi all!

    I just finished Day 1. I used 8 lb weights except for the Lateral Raises--I switched to 5s to those--and even that was really hard. It's funny how some are pretty easy--and others really are HARD.

    I am doing the Intermediate path--two sets of 12.

    Hope it was a great start for everyone today!

    I can't find my 5lb weights so for today I used 3lb weights.

    What a workout!

    It is a good workout. Between water aerobics and this I can say I had a good workout! I'm so glad you're in this with me:smile:

    I did day one yesterday using resistance bands, and I started at the beginner level. Today my arms are tingling, not hurting, but definitely talking to me. I am going to take my measurements later today, and then again after day 30.

    Since I just found out about this last night, I'm coming in late! Here is my Day 1:

    Biceps Curl 5x12/8x12
    Triceps Kickback 5x12/5x12
    Bench Press 5x12/8x12
    Kneeling One Arm Row 5x12/8x12
    Lateral Raise 3x12/3x12
    Dumbbell Side Bend 5x12/8x12

    I don't have a bench or an exercise ball. Doing the bench press didn't work out too well on the floor. I'm buying an exercise ball tomorrow. :-)

    I just completed Day 1 and recorded my sets and reps on MFP. I am confused and disappointed that there is no info on how many calories I burned. This is the first time I have done any strength training and would like to understand.

    Well, never mind. I just checked out the help section and found my answer. I ordered a Jawbone UP yesterday so I should be able to tell how many calories I burn once I start using it. I am just now learning how important it is to eat enough calories.
