Day 1

We started the work out today. We didn't wake up as early as we had planned since the kids were out of school. Once up we made our nice new breakfast (I am not a breakfast fan!), and took our vitamins. After about 30 minutes we started the DVD and it sucks lol

Here is a list, in order, of what we did today. Now for us since we are just starting we couldn't do as many reps or as much weight as they did but that's what is so nice about this program is they don't say you have to do this or use this it's "Do your best and forget the rest".

So today was Chest & Back and this evening we will do the Ab Ripper. You start by spending a couple minutes warming up. Their warm-up part makes you sweat and gets your heart rate up to start. Then you do the work-out.

Push-ups
Wide Pull-ups
Military Push-ups
Reverse Pull-ups

* Used hand weights with this exercise.

Once all that was done we took a 60 second break for water and some stretching. You stay moving the whole time. After that minute you do the whole set again but they say to push yourself and do even just 1 more than you did the first time around. It was definitely rough! Over-all it took 1 hour, that includes the 3 minutes for warm-up and 3 minutes for cooling down.

We also took our day 1 pictures of ourselves. We will post those at a later date. We have to do our pics at Day's 1, 30, 60, and 90.

The way this program works is that for the first 30 days it's the fat shredder program. It's very high protein, low carb. So for us we have to have 7 servings of protein a day and 3 carbs. It's really hard to work out menu's so that we get what we need. Adam is working on quitting smoking and I am working on no pop. We realize the first little bit will be the hardest part for us so hopefully we can make it. As far as the exercise goes we have 6 days of hard stuff with 1 day off, although they say you should still do something light on that day. We are allowed one splurge meal a week although we are going to try not to have any. We do this for 3 weeks and then the 4th week we do all yoga/plyometrics stuff for that week. Then on Month2 it switches you for meals and exercises. The whole idea is that you don't let your body plateau during exercising. You switch it up so your body is always guessing.
