Am I doing something wrong? I mean, today was supposed to be an upper body workout, but my knees are killing me. The side lunges and side-to-side jumps and inline skating are going to be the death of my knees.

Do you have any advice? Because seriously, I’ve never had a problem with either of my knees. Ever. They didn’t bother me when I did the 30-Day Shred, which was very intense and full of lunges and squats and those stupid plank jacks. What gives?

On another note, I was determined to workout today after missing not 2, not 3, but 4 days of working out. The shame. As soon as I got going, the phone rang. It was Lisa. I ignored her. Then it rang again. The machine got it and I could hear a friend leaving a message about a mother’s day out opening for Mia. Then it rang again. It was my mom. And then the dog started whining to go out. I ignored her and she puked on the floor. What gives?!!!

I think from now on, I’ll turn the ringer off and put my dog out before I work out.

Even with all the distractions, I still burned 175 calories. DAMN!!! I was proud and sweaty. Or sweaty and proud. Either way, I did it, and I intend on catching up on the days I missed. That is if my knees will cooperate.

Day 1 was GREAT! I was actually excited to get started, and since I was already familiar with all the exercises and the way it works, I dove in.

I’m going to copy Melissa and do a bulleted list

• I chose to do the hardest level of workout and I like it.
• The inline skating, which I did not use the Wii Balance Board for, were very intense. I was jumping high, and my thighs were on FIRE!
• Like several others have mentioned, I might invest in a better resistance band. I don’t feel like my arms are getting much of a workout when I’m using the one that came with the game.
• I was very sweaty when I was done, but had amazing levels of energy all day!! Love that!!
• I did wear a sports bra. Thank God.

I’m really looking forward to tomorrow!! The fact that the workout is different every day is so very appealing
