    It must be contagious because I skipped yesterday too. :laugh: I also felt guilty so I just finished day 5 level one.

    Hey all my fellow skippers from yesterday! Did you do it today? I did! L1D3 is done! w00t! Jump rope was slightly easier today and my arms didn't hurt as much lifting the weights...but the bicycle crunches still got me! I have to stop and just do some regular crunches toward the end. Maybe tomorrow I can finish them all!

    Good luck, everyone! You can do it! I did! :happy:

    I didn't do my Shred today. I decided to take today off to let my muscles get some rest. I have been so sore. *BUT* Tomorrow.....Oh TOMORROW IT IS ON!!! I am ready :bigsmile:

    Edit: I am so terrible at push up's. I have no upper body strength. When will it get better? :-\

    I used to be the same way. In fact, the first time I attempted the 30DS I couldn't even do pushups on my knees. So I stood up and did them against the wall. Then I moved to my knees. Then one knee. Now I can bang out 20 BOY pushups. The first round anyway, I usally have to take a knee midway through the 2nd set. So - my point is - just do what you can do. It took me 4 months to be able to do a regular push up. If you keep doing it the enduranace and strength will come. Like Jillian says - "You strong". (Gawd I hate it when she says that).

    Great Job !! Isn't it nice when you can get it done and out of the way? Gives you more energy all day - boosts your metabolism. I keep telling myself this when i am lying in bed. Rarely works.

    Kudos to you for doing it!

    i reeally hate the side lunges with arm raises...those are the worse

    That's what I hate too! lol

    I'll be doing L1D4 tonight.. maybe it's my imagination but my tummy doesn't stick out as much as it did a few days ago :) That's motivation enough for me! Also could be because I did a 5-minute pilates ab youtube video that had my stomach burning like I've never felt before ugh lol

    L1D6 done here too. I was able to do all of the pushups, girl style. That is a first for me. :smile:

    Good job, everyone! Especially those doing the pushups and who are starting to see improvement. Awesome achievements! Today was pay day (woohoo!) so we were shopping all day after work and didn't get to eat until 7:30pm. I like to wait a couple of hours after eating to do my workout, otherwise I'll feel sick. So, I'll be doing my L1D4 around 9:30pm...1 hour, 50 minutes to go!

    And my personal belief is that their is nothing wrong with a rest day, as long as you continue with it in the days that follow. Sometimes muscles just need a break!

    I started 30DS on the 18th it's day two today but I also did BFBM yesterday! think maybe it was a bit ambitious to do both as I cannot walk today! :)
