Somehow somewhere in the back of the mind one feels doing the beginner level is quite inferior to ones ego …….god knows what got into me yesterday. I just finished the workout after alot of pondering “To Do or Not To Do “(level 3 – day 4) – I just figured out why I was having those painful clickaty clack joints yesterday I was trying to do Natalie’s way the extra load on the knees on the first dayy of level 3 got to me i guess.I tried doing the beginner level today alongwith the other girl (forgot her name in my panting ) So right now my knees feel a lot better. Have you thought about taking the challenge and doing the 30 Day Shred? Let’s chat! I can’t believe I only have TWO days left. AWESOME move! Sure it took me until almost the end of my 30 Day Shred workout video journey to do it but I’m pretty proud of myself. Love the walking push ups sooo much and today I was able to do the non modified version of the plank rows with leg raises using 4 lb weights.
Ohh today was a great workout and I was a sweaty mess! You should have seen my exercise mat yikes ha ha! I did more of the jumping lunges and I was able to accomplish the butt kicks YES even while holding weights! Still can’t do the rock star jumps but that’s OK. How exciting! Still not able to do the rock star move in circuit 3 though and don’t think that will happen. I was able to do some of the jumping lunges even though I have to take it easy due to knee issues but I was able to do it. I’m glad I got up early, worked out and then had about an hour to breathe before spin class started. YEA! I’m not expecting to see a big change in weight or inches because I’m just now getting back into the swing of portion control and stuff so we’ll see.Īfter doing the 30 Day Shred after spin/cycle class and being totally exhausted on Saturday, I chose to wake up early before spin class today and it was MUCH better. I feel much stronger now AND as you’ll see below I have finally been able to accomplish some of the moves I wasn’t able to do throughout the workout video. I can’t believe it’s almost over but I’m honestly happy about it.
