Okay! Week 1 is officially in the books. Each day I am recapping my honest opinion of the workouts. Mind you.. I hate cardio.
Day 1 - Cardio 1 & Core 1(optional) Due to timing and me freaking out about my pending exam, I opted to skip the core workout so I could do some reviewing before work. For as much as I absolutely hate cardio, I didn't mind this.. it is hard - especially mastering bear crawls and a-skips. There are a lot of reps of some moved, and each round the reps change. I did over 50 burpees in this workout, and I was not on pace with the video.. so I am certain that next time around I will do more. I still have a lingering cough, which had me stopping more often than I would like, but at the end of the 22 minutes, I burned 131 calories and took over 650 steps. I am a swesty mess, but I'm glad its done and out of the way! Day 2 - Resistance 1 Okay.. let me start off with the fact that pull ups are one of the things I am working on mastering... but, the only place we can put our bar in the house is above the stairs. I am a clutz.. without my husband here, I will not be using the pull up bar, because I dont want to end up on the cement floor at the bottom of the stairs.. that being said, I did lat pulldowns with weights instead of pull ups. There are quite a few pushups, so near the end I had to modify. I also did not get in all of the sit up punches, mainky because they go faster than I am currently able to, but I did not give up! All of the weighted exercises I used 8 lbs for. Maybe next week Ill increase! Overall, it was challenging and I know that my legs will be shaking tomorrow! Day 3 - Cardio 1 & Core 1 FYI! My husband did get me sick, so Tuesday was my rest dat instead of the recommended Sunday.. I needed sleep!
