Day 5

Woohoo! Halfway done with Level 1. It's definitely getting easier... Circuit one wasn't so much of a bear today, and I pretty much made it through the whole thing only stopping once or twice. I think I figured out the secret to both sets of lunges. For the regular lunges, keep your feet at least shoulder width apart, and for the side lunges the trick is to just stick your butt out/down in whichever direction you're going in. Sounds weird, but it made it a lot easier for me (and required less coordination!).

Brit and I woke up this morning and went running. I think we did 2.8 miles in 29 minutes. We were going pretty slow but we were chatting the whole time. It was nice to have some uninterrupted time with her! Then I came home and put off doing the Shred until the last possible moment...

I am still struggling with doing push-ups. I'm even doing girl push-ups and I still can't really do them for 30 seconds straight! I have never liked doing push-ups, I've always sucked at them (I remember in high school doing fitness testing and being able to do like...12 in a row... that's it.) so I guess nothing has changed!

I've also pretty much got Level 1 memorized. It's sometimes annoying because you'd think Strength circuit should only take 3 minutes, but then it ends up taking like 4 because she explains the exercise and waits for a minute. Other times I grab a quick drink during those times and then am thankful for it! I also started turning the sound off...I don't need to hear Jillian jabbering on the same thing over and over again! I can't wait to get to Level 2 and have new exercises to do! :)
