Day 29 – The start of week 5

Today, I joined the Biggest Loser’s Pound for Pound and The Million Pound Challenge!

I started off my morning with doing one of the kettlebell workouts on the DVD that came with my new kettlebell. I am planning on doing another workout in a few minutes, since the first one was only 9 minutes. There are 2 other workouts on the DVD that are about 14-15 minutes each. As far as kettlebell workouts, I think I like following a video better than doing it without.

One thing I have noticed over the past few days is that my knee hurt when I do squats or anything with that kind of motion. It feels like I have over worked them, which I really haven’t since I have done a lot of exercise in the last couple days. I just hope it goes away soon because it makes it difficult to wait to continue with a workout when you’re in pain.

Do any of you take whey protein? If so, what benefits have you seen from using this? Justin and I have order some and we plan on trying it. I know it is supposed to help build lean muscle mass, but does it really make that big of a difference?!? Let me know what you think….
