YAY! Today was my final workout day of Phase I: Foundation! I feel SO much stronger than I did when I started. I can’t believe (actually I can because Beachbody programs just give you phenomenal results) how much I’ve improved in every single exercise, every single routine. Today was bittersweet because I did have to modify some of the moves because my wrist is still hurting (less), so I didn’t exactly get to go out in the blaze of glory that I wanted to, but wow… I’ve improved so much it’s hard to be disappointed. So I won’t be! 
Biggest Improvement Today:
Forearm Alternating Side Plank AND Crawly Crab Press - It was so hard to just pick one, so I chose two! I always keep notes about my workouts, each week, so I can look back and see my improvements. I literally could not do ONE of either of these moves in good form during Week 1. They were both so hard that I wrote about each one, and I was angry! lol … Today, I did both exercises, in perfect form, right along with Tony & the team. I feel proud… proud and motivated for Phase II woot!

Today’s “I hate this stupid exercise!” :
Decline Sphinx Plank Press - Yes… it IS as hard as it sounds! I started off in Week 1 not being able to do this exercise at all. I could think about it, but not actually move in the exercise. Today I was able to do 3, and by 3 I mean really, REALLY horrible reps. My wrist pain did not help, but I can’t pretend I would have made it to 4 with perfect wrists. You begin the exercise in the position shown in the picture below, then you raise yourself into a plank position from there… and repeat. 
HARD!

Below are my personal measurement results. I was late on recording them after I started, so they’re not my actual 30 whole days results; those would have been quite a bit better. I’m so looking forward to my Recovery & Mobility day, and I can’t wait to see what surprises & challenges Phase II holds. Bring it!!
