Niiice! Way to crush it D!

You and I must have been doing the fit test at the same time...cool! Given how long it's been since I've been serious about my fitness, I seriously expected to barely reach the beginner numbers. But I beat the beginners and came pretty close to the intermediate numbers in most parts. So the test gave me a great lesson already: I've learned not to underestimate myself!

!!!!!! I love this! Congratulations!

Thank you for sharing Daina! You did AWESOME. I'd love to know how everyone did. The next 4 weeks are about improving all of your test day scores so keep it up!

So good Daina! Get it mama

hahah! You need to get rid of the word hate, girl... It doesn't serve you in any which way. Words are POWERFUL and when you use negative words they affect your mind, which affects your motivation.

We are just getting started together.... The more you practice these things, the better you will get at them. When I first started working out I did not like lunges but the more I did them the better I got.... Now, I'm proud to say I love them.

I have a fun mental exercise for you. Next time you do shoulder presses at the top of your voice repeat, I LOVE SHOULDER PRESSES and don't allow a negative thought to come into your mind. Let me know how it goes.

You did AWESOME on the plank, girl.... WOW.

Also... 5 lbs.? You need to lift more than 5 lbs.... WAAYYY TOO LIGHT. In the next workout when you do shoulders can you move up to an 8 or 10? Also, let me know how your shoulder is doing tomorrow. Can you please ice it tonight?

Ok you got me. Only positive affirmations from now on. I love shoulder presses!

And my shoulders always give me fits- I think bc I sleep on my side sometimes. It’s better today!

Way to be coachable!

Yes, sleeping on your shoulders can contribute to that. You said you had small children right? Picking them up and carrying them on one side of your body can be a problem too.

Do you get deep tissue massage?

Yes probably from carrying kids- I have 3 boys and the littlest eats the most so he’s pretty heavy! I do get massages but I haven’t had a deep tissue one in a while. I will schedule one. They usually make me pretty sick with mad headaches/migraines afterwards- I carry a lot of tightness in my neck and shoulders so there’s lots to work out. I also get those headaches after I workout hard. Any idea what I can do to combat that?

Way to go Emily! Dropping weight to improve form is so great, Lacey always tells us quality of quantity so you've already got it

I'm super excited for you! I'm big in to cracking jokes while I'm kicking your ass :) haha

Hi Celeste, excited to have you on our squad! The next 4 weeks you'll surprise yourself on how much faster and stronger you'll become

Where you at Celeste?

Carol Warner Jeske was my roommate in New York City almost 10 years ago guys! She told me I should do a virtual program about 5 years ago and here we are!

I'm so happy you're participating in my first virtual camp Carol. You have an AMAZING work ethic and I know you are going to be a new person by the end of this camp.

HERE WE GO!!!!

Way to go Carol! Fit test- checkkk! Love that your competitive spirit came out, I feel the same way on test day, me against me haha

Hey Michele!

This is a GREAT question!!! For me veggies do not fall into the carb category... have as many veggies as you want. Does that make sense? The only veggie I'm not a huge fan of on your list are carrots. They don't offer a ton of nutritional value.

And thank you for asking about the protein shake. ABSOLUTELY!

Lets have a great month together!

Why Amy! You are FIT!!! For the next 4 weeks lets really hone in on this. GREAT START. I hope you're proud of yourself!

Get it Amy! 23 push ups YAAAS!

AMYYYY... Where are you?

Thank you for the check-in Kate! I'm so happy you decided to join us XOXOXOXO

Welcome Kate xx

You're still awake after that 4am wake up call? Girl, go to bed!

This is a great start! I can not wait for you to see your scores on our last day. I also can't wait for you to workout with my entire LA squad... They are such wonderful women... I'm a very lucky to be able to coach them.

Congratulations on an awesome first day Suzanne!

Time to snooze. Excited to sleep in until 4:15 tomorrow. Lol

These are great scores Hils! AND that plank is next level :) :) :) How's the knee?

Hilary! Eeeek! So so good! I see you and those lateral hops! xo

Travel is very hard on the body so that probably has a lot to do with it. Lets just stay in communication about this!

I just started the cardio dance and my knee can't take the moves. I'm fine with all of the strengthening so far. While my knee is healing is there a good cardio you recommend that I can do a the gym? I looked online and it looked like ellyptical or rowing seem to have the least impact. It's the jumping that kills me. Besides that I have been staying on track.

Thank you for asking! I think elliptical is a great one for you. You could also do recumbent bike at the gym. Rowing is ok but it's very hard to have proper form without a good trainer by your side.

When we do jumping stuff just stay at the first level and don't jump! Can you do that?

I recommend that you do the single body part lower body moves for a bit to strength your legs. I know you came into the workout with sore knees so we just have to heal them up and be very proactive. There is no reason why you can't get healed up. I would focus on getting your cardio in... Doing tons of core and lower body work for now. How does that sound Hils?

Sounds great! I'm on track, but the dancing hurt within a minute so I'll head to the gym for some cardio.

Terrific! Let me know how it's going. I want to stay strong with you all 4 weeks Hils Walker!

Hey, girl! Check out the home page of the site, there's a list about halfway down the page of the recommended equipment. You can start out with an extra-light resistance band and 8 lb. dumbbells and as you progress move up to 10 lb., 15 lb. and beyond! And for the med ball, I'd say to start with the 6 or 8-lb. for sure!
