Day 6 - Cardio

Nailed It!!!!

That's it. Just nailed it. 

I'm still modifying, but I'm modifying the modified moves to be somewhere between the actual move and the modified move. 

Feeling so good today after today's workout. Sweaty but feeling a rejuvenated tiredness. 

T25: Days 4-6

Well the first week is almost done and today is STATurday. 

I have mixed feelings about this. Well about my stats. 

My weight went up. Not a lot, but it went up. I followed the damn diet. Grumble. Anyways here are my beginning stats and today's stats. 

I didn't take a picture today. I'll take one tomorrow when I'm in workout garb. I'm not even looking at exercise clothes today. It's a rest day  

So it's awesome that I lost inches, but the weight loss along with inches lost would have been nice. I know I'm being a bit whiny. I shouldn't be. 

Anyways I'm going to enjoy lunch with the hubs now. Just wanted to write a little note about the stats. 

Total Body Circuit - Day 3

Copied from my T25 log today - 

Dying. Roses are red. Violets are blue. I hurt everywhere. Boo hoo. 

Yep that pretty much sums up the first total body circuit that stupid happy Shaun T put me thru. Ok, really I can't blame him. I'm the one that choose to do this. He designed it so I'd be mean to him. I'm sure tomorrow's ab circuit will be amazingly easy compared to today.

I definitely didn't come anywhere near "nailing it" today. Struggled with it isn't even a good adjective. Some parts were just fine. Then we dido the stupid planking section. Hate planks with a renewed vigor that I didn't know existed inside me until today. Yea, it was that hard. 

I have a hard time with plank. It hurts my lower back and knees, so I modify. This is not an issue. It becomes an issue when you start doing oblique push-ups. What's an oblique push-up, you ask. Well it's a terrible, terrible push-up that has your foot somewhere near your shoulder as you perform said push-up. That may be an exaggeration, but yea your leg is definitely not beyond your behind where it belongs. This is a hard maneuver for me, because in order for me to even rootely stay in a somewhat plank position, read my back kind of balancing a glass of water, then my legs shouldn't move. Problems of long-legged girls. I can't fit my bent leg underneath my chest while doing plank. My arms are to short. One could argue that my shins are to long, as well. I don't know of a good modifier for this, so I just did push-ups. Those sucked as well, but at least I know I can grunt through them. 

The other complaint? Squats. Hate squats. My butt hates squats. My quads hate squats. My knees are tired of squats. It's a shame that I like my butt more when I do squats. 

With all of this angst, you'd think that I had a terrible workout, but I didn't. It was hard and kicked my derrière, but it was a good one and looking forward to being able to "nail it."  

I am looking forward to STATurday though. It'll be interesting to see if there've been any changes.
