Multiple Moves Exercising same Muscle during Workout
Is it a waste of time to do multiple moves for the same muscle in a single routine? For example, if I were to do preacher curls and then concentration curls, too much for the bicep? Or are those two moves working different areas of the same muscle? I really need to learn how my muscles are worked and which moves affect…

Love'm of Hate'm?
My kids each made a face when I walked out of my bedroom in these Under Armour workout pants. What do you guys think? Will I scare everyone in the gym when I walk in wearing these? :smile:

Opinions Wanted on recent Advice from Trainer
I was approached by a trainer at my gym who I will now refer to as "Robo-Trainer". He is massive. He told me I worked out like a man. LOL! My goal is simple, I want to trade my fat for muscle. He suggested a few things to me and for you experienced peeps out there, please let me know if this will better help me to…

Abs - PIC
They're in there, but you can't see them. I really haven't done much ab work which is obvious but I'll be wearing this suit on a beach in about 5 weeks so I should probably start. Do you guys have any killer ab routines, preferably ones that don't involve buying a DVD? Thanks!

Deadlifts
I'm going to incorporate deadlifts into my routine tomorrow. I have been too chicken because I don't want to screw them up with bad form. Tips? Links? My knees are bent on the pick-up correct? Back straight. Then straighten my legs as I pull the bar up above my knees keeping my arms straight? 100% lifting with legs? Weight…

I need to work my *kitten* off tomorrow, literally, and I want to do something different. So can you guys share some of your favorite plyometric, blood pumping, leg burning workouts? Thanks!

Rest Days - Do You Actually Rest?
I find it extremely difficult to avoid any type of exercise on my rest days. Even when I'm in a heap of pain (usually unrelated to sore muscles), I feel like I should do something. So I'm wondering, what do you guys do? 100% rest day? Throw in some abs and cardio at home?

Momma Said Knock You Out! - PICS
To motivate those who are frustrated, tired, and maybe like me, a bit impatient. If you don't like muscles, I don't give a damn. I'm not here to push strength training on you, I'm just saying, keep going. Motivational speech over. Have a great weekend everyone!

*PICS* - Sexy Legs in 6 Weeks? - *PICS*
My husband will be home in 6 weeks which is one of the reasons why I want to fix my legs as quickly as possible. He's been deployed and when he comes back, we're going on the honeymoon we never had, which means, BIKINI! I feel like my legs are not matching my upper body and I really want to tone up down there. The front of…

Ummm....Are those back muscles?
If so, that's fu@!ing awesome!

Supplements?
People seem to be approaching me more in the gym since I'm actually showing signs of progress. They always ask, "What are you trying to do?" in which I reply with, "I'm happy with my size, just working on toning and tightening now." The very next question they always ask me is if I'm on any supplements. And when I say…

Legs - How Many Times a Week?
My upper body is beating my lower body in the race to fitness, so I'm thinking about upping the number of times I do legs a week. I was doing twice a week but now I'm thinking of bumping it to 3x a week as long as my legs will allow me. Just curious about how often people target a certain area like that. Also, I know…

Got Sexy Legs?
It's time for me to switch up my workout and I'm having trouble coming up with some new leg exercises. Currently I am using TRX and machines i.e. Leg Press, Abductor, Curls, Extensions and so on. I can't do anything requiring weight to be on my shoulders due to a spinal cord issue. If anyone can share some leg routines…

Weigh-Ins?
How do you guys feel about doing a weigh-in at 10 days completed, 20 days completed, and then the final after completing the 30th day? I'm sort of iffy on this idea because I don't want people to get discouraged if the numbers didn't move much after day 10. I was only planning on measuring again after day 30 and I did take…

Treat Yourself
I just completed Day One of Level Two... YES!!!!! It was difficult but a lot of fun, mainly because there are many new moves. As I was doing the last ab move/planks (I hated planks in Yoga and I hate them here) I thought, "I need to treat myself to something good for all my hard work." And I'm not talking about food. I am…

Day 6
On the weekends my son lays in bed for as long as he can, pretending to still be a sleep. He doesn't want to get up and do his morning chores like feeding the dogs and poop pick-up in the backyard. LOL! This morning, I felt that way about getting up and doing 30DS. But, I got my butt up and I got it over with. Also hit the…

About to start day 8 and I find more motivation now by counting down the days to level 2. I'm getting pretty tired of this dvd so I'm ready for a change. Enjoy your Sunday everyone.

Half Way Thru Level 1
5 Days down, 5 More to go in Level 1! Today, for me, was great! Did it all out the whole way through with the exception of some of my own modifications for my shoulder. Congratulation to all of those who have stuck with it thus far. For those who have missed a day, or two, or three, it's NEVER too late to start. Please…

Level 1 - Day 4
Completed! I felt much better today and those 27 minutes seemed to go by a lot faster also. No more working out for me today, it's a rest day. Enjoy your day everyone and if you're struggling, WARRIOR through it!

Day 3
How was it? I'll be completing my day 3 workout after lunch. I'm not feeling too sore other than my ribs feeling broken. Which is probably really just my abs from those crunches. Congrats on Day 3!

Welcome Everyone
Thank you to everyone who joined me on the 30 day journey to Shred. And thank you to Sherri for recommending to me that I start a group so everyone can keep up with each other. So here we are, post away and good luck to everyone on day 3.

Can't Straighten Arm
I overdid it on Monday and now I'm nearing day 5 of not being able to fully straighten my left arm. I'm assuming I have bicep tendonitis; I've have tendonosis of my left shoulder before so I should know better. Without dealing with a doc and getting anti-inflammatory's and all that junk, what can I do? I've done heat and…
