30 day shred...
My arms are killing me! I am using silly little 2 pound weights and they hurt! I am also having trouble doing all the push ups. I thought carrying a baby around all the time was supposed to make your arms stronger????
Day 3... did everyone else shred today?
Re: 30 day shred...
I haven't yet shredded today, I'm gonna do it again tonight with Jocelyn. LOL!
Last night, we all were in front of the TV exercising. Natalie too. My body is sore, especially during the push ups and my quads are killing me ... makes for a painful time when Nat wants to bounce in my lap. Ouch!
Similar to your concerns, I didn't do AS many push ups and squats, but I try to keep my form as best as possible and go as far down as possible. I hope it gets better for us. And very soon!
Keep up the good work!
Ugh...jumping jacks are terrible! I hate them and I cheat. (okay, my jacks look more like I'm doing the Freddy) Plus, not sure about any of you other ladies out there but after having two kids I feel like I'm going to pee everytime I jump! (TMI? probably!) And my chest screams at me to stop. Damn bewbs!
Day 3....it's all caught up to me! I can barely sit on a toilet and opening the fridge was painful. I feel sore in places I have never in my life felt sore. These are the days where I begin to punish myself for gaining weight and letting myself go. Damn me!
Yes, the bewbies are getting in the way for me too.
I have yet to do todays workout. That will be my evening activity. But I am a little sore in my abs today, the top of my thighs, and around the armpit area.
I'm far from being a trainer or professional coach, but remember Ladies that FORM is more important than the number of reps done on any movement.
Push-ups: straight back, with back/neck/head in-line. Move up and down in slow even movements. Go as far down as is comfortable. If you feel sore in your armpit area...Congrats! You've done the exercise correctly.
Squats: keep back straight perpendicular to floor (like your upper is a T to the floor). Isolate movements to your lower body only. Bend at knees in-line over ankles, again your ankle/shin/knee should be a T to the floor.
FORM, FORM, FORM breathe...
