    Day 1- Chest and Back, AB Ripper X

    That was brutal! I'm definitely not fit enough for this, and it didn't help that I didn't have the right equipment. I couldn't even finish. :angry: The upper body workouts will be the hardest for me. I will keep going, though, and finish whatever I can. I'll probably work out in the morning when I have more energy. I'm also going to buy a mat and pull up bar. Better luck tomorrow! Plyometrics seems a lot more doable for me.

    Just finished plyo, it was easier than I remembered from last years attempt at doing the program (got to week 7 then kids holidays and laziness) but I have been working on my fitness for the last 3 months and my stamina has increased 10 folds, which is a good thing, I'm now worried a bit about kempo as last year I thought it was easy, so I may switch that and do plyo twice a week, we'll see how Saturday goes before I decide :)

    ETA - Plyo still kicked @ss and I got a very good workout

    cardio for me today might just be hours of painting...going to a work bee this morning-getting to help paint a restored train station from 100 years ago. Will also try and get some real sweating in. Good work to the plyo's and cardioX'ers out there!

    I am on day 2 and I'm doing the lean category. I finished day 2 which is Cardio X and just finished a 6 mile walk with my cousin. Before I go to bed tonite I will do Stretch X just to make sure I'm getting the correct amount of stretches done everyday!!! Feeling confident!!! :-)

    did you know that 90n mins of painting is about 490 calories? me neither!

    Am still going to get in my cardio (don't know yet) and core (ZWOW#24) before my son gets home from his fishing trip with my dad.

    Only completed 23 minutes of Plyometrics (23 very intense and very sweaty minutes), which was 23 minutes of not sitting on the couch, watching tv and eating ice cream. I will get better at this. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go vomit now.

    @ SarahDuong130 23 minutes is better than nothing well done for pushing play and keep it up, you'll soon have the whole dvd down :)


    Right that's my day 3 done, shoulder & arms & ARX!!!! Shoulder and Arms is one of my favs ;)

    Remember to keep moving or you could make them DOMS worse, A nice walk will help the day after plyo ;)

    try getting some 7's, 10's on craigslist or kijijii? also I use wrist weights (2lb) as a partial transition to help heavying up. I'll put them on my wrists or on the db handles and use them that way if there arent a lot of transitions. But sometimes I find my 10s too easy, but the 15's 100lbs too heavy. lol. so I use the 2lb wrist weights with the 10's then.

    Have you tried Amazon? I order pretty much everything from there. I got a really good dumbbell set for $39. Plus, I have Amazon Prime so I got free 2-day shipping. I'm also planning to order the Polar HRM.
