Don's Day 3 and 4

Day 3: Shoulders and Arms

I did the best that I have done on any of the workouts on this one. I think it is because even though it got my blood-pumping I know my strength or lack of strength in these areas. I am much more familiar with these movements and lifts, although some of the variations were new and pretty difficult. I really liked this workout. I also did alright on Ab Ripper X. I made it through even though I was unable to complete all the reps. I am pretty sure by the end of 90 days I'll be able to do all the reps.

Day 4: Yoga X

I hate this workout. Not only am I not coordinated enough to do a lot of it. I am as flexible as a piece of cast iron. There isn't really anything good that I could say about this one except that I tried it. I want to break some stuff right now.... pretty sure that would make me feel better. So far this is the only video that has made me think I may not be able to do most of the stuff they are doing by the end. I'm still gonna keep bringing it even if I can't reach under my thigh and grab my hand that is behind my back while keeping one leg bent to the front and one leg straight behind me and then turn my torso away from my body.

Don's Day 1 and 2

Day 1: Chest and Back

Man, really hard. I didn't know what to expect and didn't pace myself well enough. I got through the first round of exercises but basically just watched the second round. I tried to push through but my muscles were already too exhausted.

Day 2: Plyometrics X

I am so stoked! I made it through the whole freaking video. I wanted to quit sooo bad at about 30 minutes left and then at about 15 minutes left but both times Abby came in and asked if I was okay because "um, your face is REALLY red, daddy". It just made me think I am going to be in shape and not be a big fattie. I want her to know it isn't okay to be this out of shape. Also, Tony kept saying "you can do anything for 30 seconds" and surprisingly enough that helps a bunch when he says that little phrase because it is true. I have been done with the workout for almost an hour now and am still cooling down. I moved all 270 of my pounds of my big fat butt around the living room tonight and brought it! Bring on Shoulders and Arms! I am just gonna keep doing what I can and pushing myself. 88 days left. No more fatty.
