Thanks for setting this up moleymole. I'm excited to get started!

If you have some leftover baby bulge this might be better than straight crunches, I've been trying to do these workouts because I read crunches are worse if you have diastasis recti.

Morning...if I don't do it then it rarely happens

[okiemama]

Morning! Makes me more energized for the day and makes me want to make better food choices if I've exercised.

[richaroodo]

Day 1 completed! The leg lifts were a killer for me.

I prefer morning but really it's whenever I can fit it into the day.

[okiemama]

Done!

[RNCrystal]

Done! Plus provided entertainment for LO during tummy time!

[Deleted]

Done!

Then DD came downstairs for night hugs & kisses and asked me what I was doing so I added a few extra of each and she tried to do squats! So cute.

I prefer to do it in the morning but I totally forgot until I came here tonight!

Done. My daughter just asked me if I wanted a cheese stick.

And the correct answer was "yes"

[okiemama]

Is this what everyone is doing for leg lifts?
That's what I think of when I hear leg lifts but it threw me off because it didn't specify 25 "each side", it made me wonder if there is a different move I'm forgetting about, or like a hip bridge or something.

Oh, I failed. I did reverse crunches.

Not a failure! You still worked out. That's what counts.

[richaroodo]

Day 2 completed and I am sore.

I like to work out alone but sometimes my 9 year old DD joins me. She is a twig and the last person who needs to be burning extra calories but she's fun and we have a good time. I used to do classes when I was younger but I always felt uncoordinated and awkward so they didn't last long.

I do it alone. I have only taken a class in college for credit. Do you just join a class anytime at the gym?

Basically. I would plan my time at the gym based on classes I wanted to take. They had a bunch available from yoga, boot camp, strength training, stuff like that. Spin was the only one you had to sign up for in advance because of the limited number of bikes.

[okiemama]

Done! Woo- those kinds of leg lifts are much more difficult than the kind I did yesterday! Haha

Ideally I like taking a class, I'm very competitive and push myself to be the best/fastest/etc the most in that setting. Since I don't have a gym membership anymore I like to at least have a friend, but most days it's solo.

[Deleted]

Halfway through. Forgot until after I already had one gin and tonic. This is... Less fun than yesterday.

[RNCrystal]

Ugh. After the drinks I had last night this does not look appealing...but I'll do it.
Qotd...I'll eat anything for brunch...now I want brunch

[richaroodo]

Day 3 completed!

Definitely bacon. I love love love bacon.

[okiemama]

Done! My butt is getting sore.

Anything sweet! Mostly pancakes, muffins, Danishes

[Deleted]

Done. I'm dreading the end of the month! These leg lifts are killing me.

ETA I love bacon. And french toast. And mimosas...

[birkmmm]

Omg I'm so lame I totally haven't checked my notifications and missed this thread :/ ... Welp here's to day 3!

[richaroodo]

Done! At first I was looking forward to the squat rest but these leg lifts are kicking my ass!

I skipped yesterday and did both today. No rest day.

I don't like push ups. My wrists hurt now. What can I do about it? I think it is a hormone thing because I had to stop when pregnant.

I had wrist surgery years ago and I remember when I started easing back into exercising planks would kill my wrists so I did them with closed fists instead so my wrists stayed straight instead of being pressed at a 90 degree angle. Not sure if it works as well with push-ups, but you could try.

You could also sub wall push-ups.

[RNCrystal]

Done!

[Deleted]

Done.

Looking forward to day 9. Need a leg lift break!

[okiemama]

Just got home from fireworks and remembered I haven't done this yet...trying to will myself off the bed. I think I can I think I can I think I can

Eta: I did it! Thank goodness no squats, that helped convince me to go ahead and get it over with. Looking forward to a leg lift break as well!

[Deleted]

Done

QOTD: That I laugh until I cry. I laugh/giggle often and DH always picks on me and I usually snap back that "at least I enjoy life" because I've never heard him more than lightly giggle at something while he listens to his podcasts.

[birkmmm]

Did it!
My favorite thing is that an outgoing ... I rarely find myself in awkward social situations
