Couple of amusing things...I still cannot add weights on the barbell right. I did 65# by mistake - no wonder it was hard!

I couldn't get a mat for the planks so I just did them on the black rubber floor and I now have rug burns on both elbows...sigh. Will not do planks without a mat ever again!!

I decided to wait to do the BWM at home because my daughter was dropping my grandson off to babysit and I needed to get home from the gym. Thought it would be nice to do them to music with a peppy beat. Remembered Natalia's BWM vid. What was I thinking??? She whips it out in 2 minutes and 17 seconds!!!! So did I it in a very lame kind of way. I keep up fine with everything but the lunge jumps. The form is not great on the lunge jumps (they actually look more like front and back kind of squatty jumping jacks) and I don't go as low on the squat jumps as I do on the squats in the beginning because my legs are so tired by then, but I do manage to get through it. I'm thinking I will either continue using Nat's video and try to improve my form as I go or slow it down and try to improve my speed after I have the form down better. I'm seriously doubting myself as to my ability to improve the lunge jumps...
white (wo)men can't jump!
