30 day shred

[monkeybabe]

I just did the first work out and my body feels like jello. Omg, that shit is no joke. God forbid Zoe throws a fit any time soon, holding her could be interesting.

[rjamz]

Yay! We can do it together! I'm on day 2 - my whole body wants to die, but I took some Aleve so I can carry J around without passing out

[monkeybabe]

I just downed 20 oz of water all at once. My arms, more than anything are feeling useless.

Also, Zoe, who is currently sitting my lap is squealing and laughing looking at J.

So.... what do I need to go with the DVD? Weights? A machine? Tellllll meeeeee....

[monkeybabe]

hand weights and a yoga mat. I have 3 lb weights and I almost couldn't finish. They're, unfortunately, all we have here, though.

[monkeybabe]

Unless you have carpet, then you don't need the mat.

I have 3 lb weights too

Do you have to buy DVDs or are the workouts free on the internet?

I got mine from Amazon Instant. It was about $5, but I've heard you might be able to get them on YouTube

[monkeybabe]

I think they're on youtube, but I don't have space in my office to work out, so I bought the DVD.

I only have 5 lbs weights and the first few times, I thought my arms were going to fall off! I am still on workout one because I still feel like I am going to die every time. This is week 2 of workout 1. I hope it's better!

You all are making me want to try this!

[Regina Philange]

Go monkey baby!!!

[monkeybabe]

Oh, and Zoe thinks it's hi-larious when I do crunches and the like and tries to help me out in the resistance department.

Aww, so sweet. One blog I read of a woman who was doing it had her 3 year old has her "trainer." I haven't gotten to day 2 yet - I'm going to have to after J goes to bed since he's getting into extra amounts of mischief today

It works good to make you stronger but you really gotta watch your diet. I was so hungry I ended up gaining 10 pounds.

[rjamz]

Just did Day 2. It's not as bad as Day 1! Maybe because I knew what to expect, but my arms aren't shaking today. My abs are, though...

[kandrze1]

I did day 1 today and felt like I was going to throw up by the end of it. I remember feeling this way last time I did it so I'll try again tomorrow.

[monkeybabe]

I felt nauseous at the end. I wolfed a container of yogurt and that seemed to help.

[devotchka]

last time i did it i could barely move so i am going to wait to do it for a while - i dont think ill be able to lift max at all!

[raynes]

I only got 2 workout in this time around. Boo to me. Nap times got too short for the workout and the required shower after.

Working out while child watches is a good idea.
