Description: DAY 5/30

Slow bicycle crunches and bench dips were both very tough and had to be completed in small sets - perhaps that tells me my core is weak?

Matthew

Slow bicycle crunches are so satisfying but so difficult that I had to perform the 30 within smaller rep sets

Ab work is tough as toe touches and slow bicycle crunches both got broken out into 20/10 rep sets

Tricia

Toe touches and bicycle crunches were incredibly difficult especially the bicycle crunches as I could not seem to do more than 3-4 without exhaustion and/or losing form - I would especially detect my lower back lifting up which is when I knew I had to 🛑

I loved this day - great ab work with most tough but doable in one set of 30 consecutive without a break which is gratifying

Lunges still feel awkward so I use wall to stabilize myself .  I can do 5 each side without assistance but that’s 5 more than I could do before!!! Tricep on bench.. not near strong enough.  I bend my knees and. Use it to give as little assistance as needed, and it winds up working my legs as my arms tire.

Miss Barbara

Lots of ab core work which was fantastic but also grueling especially slow bicycle - no regrets though 😊

Toe touches, bench dips, and bicycle crunches were all impossible to get in all 30 reps at once without a break in between - although in the end my core thanks u😅

Jasmin Limas

Was it a total of 60 reverse lunges? That’s what I did

Amazing! Did two rounds plus 45 mins of boxing! Feeling strong!

I made it 1 1/2 rounds. This was the hardest so far. My legs kept giving out while I was doing the lunges. I've been pushing myself hard this week.

Missy

Super sore, but gave it my all!!! Friday drip 💧

DAY 5/30

Russian twists are so difficult so keep from tipping over to my left or right or backwards or forwards - so difficult

Each set I had to break at least once to get in my thirty reps 😩

DAY 15/30

Planks are real tough and honestly after being off this 30-day program for months it was almost all very challenging

Plank break downs were the most grueling of the exercises

DAY 1/30

Four stars is all my fault as I am far from getting back to daily routines so doing a day’s exercises only every 3-4 days is really tough- working to get back to daily strength workouts besides my daily pushups

Still no balance on the one leg bend over with weight - I must do right along a wall to avoid tipping over -  I have no balance

Tough for most reps but especially the first one with front and lateral raises- as in order to do real challenging front raises the lateral raises are then so tough I can only do a set of 15 and then take a decent break before attempting the final 15. - lateral raise is tough

DAY 16/30

Got two full sets in which doesn’t often happen so I am happy

Chazity Rosser

DAY 2/30

Tougher to get upper body/ lower back up off the ground as the reps increased

I loved exercises 1, 3, 4 and 6 but I skipped exercise 2 and just did one gentle set of 5 since I tweaked my lower back yesterday during one of the exercises ☹️

DAY 3/30

Still getting back into the shape I was months ago so tough treading at the moment

30 jackknife and heel grab EACH side-wow-lots of tiny pauses to reach 30

DAY 17/30

Good work of muscles without having to take breaks in the middle of any set

Good day today - sweaty, tiring but all achievable without mid-set breaks

DAY 4/30

Incredibly tough getting through 30 reps of most exercises

Loaded pendulum lunge may have. Used too heavy a weught as I could only get 15 reps per leg before total exhaustion

Some exercises - especially #6 - had to be performed in small rep sets to get through 30 - the forward and reverse lunge was perhaps the most difficult and I only did 15 per side

DAY 18/30

Loved the exercises the frustration was just on my end of not being able to do 30 consecutively with several of the exercises

Toe touches into leg lowers is so incredibly difficult that after an initial 11 the rest of the way is only small sets of 4-5 until I get to 30… so tough

Love the core work like hollow hold … get so tired of squats and lunges though 🙂
