Day 4: Cardio Recovery

Wow!

Who knew you can sweat so much doing a "recovery" work out. Today's workout was awesome. Lots of stretching but still sweating buckets. Even though this workout went at a slower pace and wasn't focused on working out to absolute failure, I still found it challenging which was great.

It felt good to take some time and stretch my legs out given how much of this program is cardio and plyometrics.

Also, today's workout felt especially nice because last night I went out and had some wine and some mojitos to celebrate my roomate's birthday and ended up stayin up until 6 in the morning. It was a good challenge to still get up today and keep to my program and doing my workout. Also, it's really nice sweating out all the toxins in my body.

That's all for now!
Time for my recovery drink.... thank God for smoothies!

Day 3: Cardio Power and Resistance

Sorry that this entry is a day late. I did my workout yesterday and then I decided to not upload the blog immediately after finishing and forgot to do it before going to bed. So here goes:

Yesterday was my third day on the program and I did the CARDIO POWER AND RESISTANCE workout. It was really intense. I had to stop in the middle of it to wipe up the floor because I was sweating so much my shoes were slipping! It was a really good workout.

The combination of jumping and squatting while working to absolute failure is really pushing my body to the edge in a different way than I'm used to. I'm excited for the continuous kick in the ass these next 60 days will be!
