I guess Im a day ahead of everyone as Im in Australia, different time zone and all.

I woke up on Day 2 with sore thighs, I ran on the spot for 5 mins to loosen them up before starting.
I felt the stretching in my thighs when I was working out.

I still got all sweaty and red faced, but I mentally found it easier as I could concentrate on what I was doing as I knew what the exercises were going to be.

I took a couple of 5 second breaks, so my intial goal is to get through it without any small rests.

I wonder how sore I will be tomorrow morning LOL

    I started a day early, so I just finished my day 2 workout. I also found today to be easier, just because I knew what to expect. The only thing I had tougher time with was the pushups and arm workouts, and I think it's because I'm using 5lb weights because they're the lightest I have. I think that each day is going to get easier now until level 2!!

    I was sore today but the exercises weren't harder to do b/c of that so that's a plus. Took my measurements this a.m. so I'm excited to see where I'll be in 28 days!

    Today was also my day 2. I was sore today but made myself work out. I found that about half of the way through the first rotation, my soreness faded quite a bit. The hardest exercise for me is the side lunges with the weights, for some reason, my arms just want to give up! I look forward to being able to keep with 'the girls' through all the reps of that one.

    hehe. in NZ so i'm ahead, also. i'm a bit sore, i admit.
    my fiance gave me a leg rub which made me feel much better afterward - i find that the stretches demonstrated aren't enough for me. i really need to take my time warming up and slowing back down - i want to be able to walk tomorrow!

    My legs are feelin fabulous (muscle build up from being a waitress for 5 years, probably :tongue: ) My shoulders, however, are another story lol. Even though I carry huge trays of food and buckets of ice at work, they are definitely not in the shape I thought they were...can't wait to see how strong they are in less than a month! :happy:

    I am two days ahead and finished day 4 last night. I started with 3 lbs weights and on day 3 did 3 lbs and 5 lbs. Day 4 I did all 5lbs weights. Amazing that in 4 days I could progress 2 lbs up. I will say day 4 was much easier than day 1 or 2. When you think you can't go on, just keep saying it's only 25 mins total beginning to end!

    Can't wait to see everyone's progress.

    After doing Day 2 yesterday, I actually woke up this morning feeling better than I did after Day 1. My arms and shoulders are really the only part that's a little sore. I CAN do this!!!

    I just finished day 2 and it's funny because I wasn't sore at all after day 1 but my legs were like jelly when I woke up this morning. A bunch of the soreness in my legs faded after the first circuit. Hope the days keep getting easier!
