Donna’s Fatloss blog Day 18
The lunges, burpees and pushups are really challenging; feel like I’m getting a good workout. Think I need to invest in the super bands that Coach Rylan suggested for a fellow guinea pig. For some reason I'm not able to manage the get ups that well without stressing my wrists and elbows—I’m certain they aren’t supposed to be bearing my weight as I get off the floor, but they are.

Hi Donna - I relate with the get-ups, I sorta close my eyes and get through them. I have yet had anyone at the gym ask me 'if I need some help getting up', because I'm sure it still isn't pretty to watch. I find my reward in getting through them. :) Stay focused!
