Today is my ten-day anniversary. To be perfectly honest, I'm really getting into it. Not to the point where I'm making the X with my arms and shouting "BRING IT!" but I'm really enjoying the whole workout in the morning. Yes, it wipes me and I feel sick at the end, but each day, I feel less and less sick. I can feel my energy level going up. Last night, I considered going for a run, but didn't because of Ashleigh's injury. (I didn't want to come home, say "Hi" to Ashleigh, then run back out of the house. When her foot starts feeling better, I'm going to try talking her into running in the evening with me while it's still a bit light.)
Today was arms and shoulders. I kinda fumbled around a lot on this one because I had to keep adjusting weights. I didn't know what I'd be able to do for a given exercise, so I'd have to pause and adjust for almost everything. I should have been done in about an hour, but with all my extra pauses, it took more like 90 minutes. However, I have a better idea what I can do now, so next time I'll have the weights setup and ready to go.
This particular program isn't as cripplingly intense as, say, chest and back. Granted, my arms are, in my opinion, better off than my chest and back at this point.
What's bonus is I was actually able to keep up with some of the ab ripper exercises! Sure, I had to wedge my feet under the table to do the sit-ups, but I was able to do some! My abs are probably my sorest part today.
Tomorrow is Yoga again. I know the first half is going to be hard-core and I'm mentally prepared for it. I'm really looking forward to the second part. I felt so relaxed last time, I can't wait to feel it again.
