My hind end is very very sore. I was just telling Jared (my b/f) that I never get sore anymore… Well literally came back and bit me in the rear end! Have a great weekend all
Hamstrings sore and tight from yesterday, so my leg raises and inchworms looked pitiful, but I did the best I could without over stretching the area. Fun circuit! I only did one set because of time contraints, but I wish I did at least 2, maybe 3.
I don’t know how am I going to do the workout today. My legs are very sore. Hope to complete the entire prescribed workout.
did the challenge – you said to check the time – I completed it in 1.25 hours. I did everything even did the bear walk. In some pain, but just due to being sore and pushing myself – no bad pain only good. Look forward to seeing the next one.
So proud of you!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks again Julia – I am enjoying this series. I only made it once through – had sick kids harassing me ! But I feel yesterdays workout & am looking forward to what else you have planned. I need to work on the water consumption.
Since I am behind, Day #5 was yesterday but I came back home too late to workout and I had dinner instead so I took the day off. Today Sunday I decided to workout and it was amazing!! I have to say I skipped the warm up because I hiked/jogged 8.6 miles of a trail around Hagg Lake, OR, I am very proud of myself 🙂
I did only one round of the workout in 8 minutes 35 seconds. I did it after hiking so I was already tired!! But I didn’t want to skip day #5 workout.
Thank you again for this amazing 30 day challenge!
