Default Beginning Stage 2...

I know there are several of us that are just beginning or who have just begun Stage 2. I thought I'd take a roll call to find mutual support! Anyone interested?

I am starting Stage 2 Workout A1 on Tuesday, 5/13!

Sure! I haven't looked ahead, so I didn't know Stage 2 was repeated! I hope the Prone Jackknife from Stage 1 is not repeated...I hated that exercise because I don't like my head hanging upside down.

I am starting Stage 2 tomorrow, Sunday. That reminds me, I need to look through the exercises today before I go to the gym tomorrow. I love prone jackknifes!

Started stage 2 a while ago, dropped off the planet for a couple of weeks, and am now plugging back in where I left off ..

Like beach plums, I am also starting Stage 4. When I noticed it was a repeat of Stage 2, my reaction was "ugh...". Get ready to feel the burn in your legs! I also felt like a complete putz doing the DB one-point row - found this exercise to be particularly challenging, it's like putting your weaknesses under the magnifying glass.

I have one more to do in Stage 1, then I'm heading on to Stage 2 too!

(and I'll be glad to see the end of prone jackknife . If it shows up again in any of the later stages, I'll probably cry )

I'll be starting Stage 2 on Friday May 16th. I've really only taken a good look so far at the A set, but not looking forward to the dumbbell one point row. I suspect my balance isn't that great, but we'll see. I'll probably run through the movements early next week (without weights or really light ones).

I'm kind of waiting to see how you do Pauline.

I'm just finishing off stage 1, so in about a week or two, depending how much time I take off inbetween. (I've got a shoulder injury from bad lifting years ago that's popped up again. *sigh* So best to take it easy and do the pt to help it out.)

Started Stage 2 last Wednesday. Doing my first B workout tonight. I really feel like this change up is exactly what my body needed. Although I am sure I'll be paying dearly!

I start the 3rd exercise of phase 2 tomorrow. So I've done A and B twice now. I really do not like the DB 1 point row. I am finding my balance isn't what I thought it was. I also don't like ALL the lunges, since they are my least favorite exercise ever. BUT I am noticing that I no longer have knee pain while doing them. I do feel stronger in my lower body.

Yes, out with the jacknives, but in with the planks. That makes me really happy.

I still haven't quite mastered the squat push press.

I started stage 2 this morning. Wow, I was sweating bad!! The one point row was definetley a challenge. I think I was rushing through the front squat push press. But all in all, it was good.

Let me correct myself and say that I will be starting Stage 2 tomorrow. I skipped the gym yesterday to restore order to my house after a huge party on Saturday night.

I'll be joining all of you in Stage 2 probably around May 26. I am finishing up stage one this week and will probably take a few days off before starting stage 2. I am excited for new exercises!

I did Stage 2 Workout A-1 today. Check out my log for the gory details. The 1 point row was the most painless for me. I actually enjoyed it. Did you make sure to do only 5 on the left leg and 5 on the right leg? If I read the book right, that's how it's done so it's not as hard for me. My weights are all pretty light to start with. I am nursing a shoulder injury and I also just flat out don't want to hurt myself trying too much at the start. Wimpy.
