1st real workout done (after fit test yesterday) and all I can say is wow!!! I feel like I'm in better shape now than I've been in a really really long time but that was harder than I remember it! Feels good when you are done and dripping in sweat!!

Looking forward to seeing my improvements!

Eat well everyone!!

Mary

    Just finished plyo, didn't find it too bad, thought it was going to be worse - watch tomorrow's video as well, not looking forward to all the walking push ups :(

    Just keep moving and "stay in it". You may not do every rep this time, but you WILL. Just stay with it.

    Great job! I did plyo yesterday and it kicked my butt. I can't wait to see how we all progress in the next two months!

    Day 2 for me - plyo cardio circuit.

    I have done it before so I knew what to expect (never did the full program, just did some of the workouts a few times a week). It was tough but I got thru it. I really can't wait till day 60 - not to be done, but to see how far I've come.

    I completed plyometrics today. I feel good. I didn't stop as much as I did during the fit test. I am ready for tomorrow.

    Here's a question I have about this workout: On the second wednesday the schedule calls for cardio circuit. I can't find a disc called that. Is this the Plyometric Cardio circuit again? It calls for both on the schedule... so confusing. Does anyone have a disc called Cardio Circuit?

    Yes the "cardio circuit" is the same as plyo cardio circuit. I asked someone bc I wondered the same thing

    Keep doing it. It's only 40 mins and it's going to get easier. Just "stay in it" and "dig deep". You got this!!!

    It is killer! Something that at least made me feel a little better was an interview I saw with Shaun T. They asked him what he thought was the hardest & he said going from ski abs to the in & outs was always hard for him. Sometimes after that combination I have a hard time standing up!

    Day 2, Plyo circuit done! I dunno about you guys, but I definitely know where my weakness is. The ski abs and In-n-out abs at the end of the 2nd circuit just KILL ME! It's where I break down the most for rests. Something to aspire to improving on!

    this is like my 3rd time doing this and i have to say it was still nuts! wow, i have no idea what my heart rate went up to because the HRM pooped out on me but i was 57 resting hr and up to 155 just during the warm up...

    FWIW, I'm on day 26 and the ski abs/in outs still kill :-). Just don't kill as bad.

    Just finished Plyometric Cardio Circuit. Glad to be done, seemed hard today. After those ski abs & in & outs I have to scarpe myself off the floor. Those are tough!!

    I can do in & out but ski abs and triceps dip are my weakness.

    i so agree with you. i hate the in and out abs and i think it's torture to do them at the end of that whole thing... tomorrow is goign to be double duty with the pure cardio and cardio abs... i'm trying to be ready for it. ate a lot today... hoping it will help me tomorrow. didn't intend to eat so much but got a little carried away. oh well, one day isn't going to kill me just got to get back on it the rest of the week.

    last time i did them in reverse order with the abs one first and i think i will actually do it that way again. i'm much less likely to not do pure cardio since abs is only 14 minutes.
