- it felt difficult, as usual, with all the workouts we do for the first time
- watching the video and doing the moves, i noticed i do less reps because I'm slower, ill be working on that
- i also took it very easy with the jumping, and modified it for the sake of my knees
- a very manageable/doable video - i'll be looking forward to building my strength with it
- my triceps are going to hurt tomorrow !

    Sounds great! I expect I will also be slower than the people on the video like I am with the week 4 workout because they are so fit - as long as we do the best we can do and it doesn't have to be the best that Omar or Anita or Natalie, etc. can do.

    I think it's going to be good to have my rest day instead of cardio on day 3 by the sounds of it.

    Difficult as usual. I felt ok until the last set of crabs. Then I was thinking "What? How? Ow!"

    My Week 5 Day 1 will begin tomorrow. My work schedule changed as of today, so Monday's are now 8 AM to 7:30 PM. I can't fit a workout into that day - it's too long! I have no such excuses the rest of the week. I'm glad to have a rest day before starting Week 5 since yesterday was my last Week 4 cardio. Sounds like I'm going to need it.

    Well, now... that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was scared when I previewed the disk! LOL! I really thought I wouldn't have the strength to hold myself on one arm in those pushups in circuit 1.

    They go way too fast for me on the one-legged squats. I'm flopping all over the place off balance. I think I need to try them at my own slower pace next time and just focus on my form.

    Holy triceps!!! Anyone else feel like their triceps are going to explode when doing the crabs??? My arms are so sore!

    I can't do too many of those... yet! Maybe by the fourth time we do this disk.

    Oh my God! What have I done to deserve circuit 3?! My chest, shoulders and triceps were already finished before the cardio interval! I could only do series of three of those cable punches! And the last set of crabs... :astonished:

    And the next day I went shopping - I could barely hold the hangers up, to have a better look at clothes! :) Then I thought I didn't really need anything!

    Ow. Ow. Ow. My triceps are going to be sore tomorrow. The Yoga in the beginning.. Thank god it was just a warmup. Chatarungas -- not a fan!

    Oh, I hate that too! Too uncomfortable for my wrists. I try to do that using push up handles and they feel a bit better. The wrists, obviously, because the arms are still in agony!

    I hadn't thought about push up handles. I should get some of those. I have an Iron Gym workout bar I bought for chin ups that could be for push ups, but it wouldn't really work for me doing this.

    Oh, they are good! I used them for the push ups with side planks, crabs, everything that involves supporting my bodyweight on my palms! Apart from the lying tricep extension which I do on my fist.
    Without the wrist discomfort I can perform the exercises much better.
