Days 1 & 2

Sorry I didn't get Day 1 posted last night. Hubby needed to use the laptop for some work related surveys.

I started the 30 Day Shred on Sunday and I was breathing awfully hard and couldn't finish some of the reps, but I still kept myself moving even if it wasn't doing the same exercise Jillian and her girls were doing. I didn't stop for the whole exercise, just a few seconds, per Jillian's orders, or course!

I'm also trying to follow the workout calendar at back on pointe. If I don't do them every day, I don't put too much stress on myself. They're easy to do and don't take a lot of time. Some days I just don't want to change my clothes again so I don't do it. These are easy to do after my kids nap and we're hanging out together. My son likes to try and model my movements. It's a great way to get him involved at an early age that exercise can be fun!

Today was a challenge day:
     20 Jumping Jacks
     10 Squats
     40 Russian Twists (w/ 6 lb. medicine ball)
     10 Standing calf raises
     5 burpees
