    It's up now. It goes up at 2 EST time every day. I'm doing the challenge a day behind because i prefer to workout in the morning. Yesterday i just walked alot, will do the flow workout that was put up yesterday - today and then maybe the rep challenge that was posted a couple of weeks ago. Will do lisa-marie's workout tomorrow that's going to be posted today. Just keep active whilst waiting for them to be posted. (hope that made sense!)

    That's what i'm doing because they don't go up until 7pm in my country - and that's when they're not having problems uploading. And i prefer to workout in the morning or early afternoon so it's just easier to work a day behind :smile:

    Day 3 - any idea's what to substitute for hanging knee raises??!!

    I thought there would be a bodyweight only option.

    For the sculpt section I will adapt with my resistance band.

    Ok so I just watched the tutorial :embarassed: My door frames are really narrow but I have a straight banister at the top of my stairs so will try that.

    I couldn't do these due to not having a door frame thick enough to hold on to so just done the ab exercise from the sculpt workout :)

    Day 3 workout scores:

    Burn section - I didn't keep count :noway:

    Touch downs - killed me!

    Spider push ups - push-ups from knees, then up on toes for leg bend

    Tuck abs - I did the modified version again, sitting back on my arms bringing legs in together and then alternate legs by half way through 2nd set. These were hard not sure how good my form was by the end.

    Hanging knee lifts - couldn't use banister in the end due to others been at home! My door frames are too narrow & high for me so I used the top of an open wardrobe, made sure I was up on my toes.

    Sculpt section
    I used my resistance band successfully just had to do single arms on some then repeat on the other side, I also did full squats as the half squats demonstrated hurt my knees.

    For the last abs move I couldn't get any further than my upper back off the floor...

    Must keep count next time!

    Ugh, just done day 3 and am feeling it. My stomach muscles have been aching all day so I know they are gonna be feeling it even more in the morning.

    Am feeling motivated too.

    Are you guys logging your bodyrock sessions as exercise on your trackers? I dont know what to put it down as, any ideas?

    I couldnt use my door frame either and had no alternative so I skipped it and did another round of the previous 3 instead

    Maybe circuit training or calisthenics? I have a HRM, so I create my own exercise.

    I just held onto door frame & lifted my knee up one @ a time as she demo'd.
    No way I can lift my legs up with only my fingertips holding on!

    Im taking w/e off & back on Monday or maybe I will try Sunday

    I'm logging mine as a 'new' exercise and you can call it what you want then! but I don't log my calories as I'm eating at tdee, I'm going to wear my HRM though to see what my calorie burn is cos boy did I sweat!!!!

    I'm doing the Day 4 flow today and the burn & sculpt tomorrow. My usual body-weight days are wed, fri, sun so going to stick with that as it fits in with my week! then my zumba days can be my active rest days.

    I thought this looked like a killer, it was but not as bad as I thought! I must be getting fitter : ) I am a bit behind now but I've had a sore throat and I was aching from Thursday, I can't do these workouts without a 1-2 day rest, aim to do day 5 on Tuesday.

    I had a look at day 5 also looks very hard!! I had a go at day 5 flow I could do the poses better than I thought I would, but will do properly either tomorrow or tuesday.
