| At least my birthday lands in the "recovery week". |
Don't let the "fit test" fool you. I was all "Oh, day 1 is just the fit test. I'm sure it won't be that hard." And then I learned a lesson that I will be cursing Shaun T. for for the next 58 days. Adding "power" to the beginning of a well-meaning exercise makes it 500 times more evil. Adding "suicide"? Well, you can imagine.
I've mentioned this before, but I really hate the "quick feet" exercise because, well, any part of me that can jiggle, does jiggle. And that just ain't fun. And now, I have new exercises to hate even more. The Heisman and 123-123.

| Basically jumping side-to-side doing this. Over and over. |
Yesterday's workout was Plyometric Cardio Circuit, meaning I got to do these things over and over, each time faster than the time before (in theory). Truth be told, I only got through 20 minutes of the 40-minute workout because I'm now dealing with balance issues due to the junk in my head not going away. I haven't been able to hear out of my right ear since Sunday. Mucinex to the rescue!

| I like to call this "doing it right." |
By the way, it really bums me out that the Mucinex boxes don't feature the phlegm monster from the commercials.
But I digress.
I remember the first time after I did my favorite workout DVD, I struggled to walk up stairs for three days but then doing it a year later it now seems easy. With any luck, by day 60 these workouts will seem easy. Right, guys? Right?
I did a workout of his I saw in a magazine once, it was basically 6 power moves for a minute each repeated three times. Kicks my ass every time I do it. I dread it actually. Can't wait to see your progress.
ReplyDeleteI feel like you've been sick for way too long. Do you have the plague? Have you gone to the doctor?
ReplyDeleteI always consider trying Insanity, but then I remember that I'm a pansy. I hear you on the Mucinex thing. My flu turned into a sinus infection and I feel like I'm drowning.
ReplyDeleteI need to try Insanity! Hope you feel better:) Did the wine help?
ReplyDeleteI can speak at your funeral? You're obviously dying if you haven't gotten better yet.
ReplyDeleteI so wish Maryland could sell booze in grocery stores.
ReplyDeleteI tried P90X one time and got through about 2 days. I blamed it on the fact that most of those work outs require equipment that I did not have. Not my fault. I have been slightly interested in trying Insanity, but since you don't need any equipment for that, I'm not sure what excuse I could use when I give up after 3 days.
