I just invented that word, since it's the only thing I can think of to describe how I feel. It's the exact opposite of quadriplegia, in that instead of not having feeling in my limbs, I am simultaneously aware of every muscle in my body, because they all hurt. Muscles I only know about from taking Anatomy and Physiology. So, I was happy when today was supposed to be a cardio day...or so I thought. On today's agenda were Burn Intervals and Ab Burner.
Burn Intervals consisted of high intensity cardio mixed with muscle endurance training. The weights were much lighter, but there were about a billion reps of each exercise. That dvd was 45 minutes, and next was the Ab Burner. It was only 10 minutes, but I felt like I would puke nearly the entire time. Also some of the exercises require you to be on all fours, but my shoulders were killing me at that point, so I had to skip a lot of those.
I know I'm bitching about the soreness a lot, but in all honesty I'm really enjoying these workouts, which is the first time I've EVER enjoyed workout dvds. Usually the instructor is annoying, the music is distracting, and/or the workout sucks. With these, I feel very accomplished when I'm finished. I feel stronger- like I'm really changing my body. Also, I really like Chalene. She is supportive and positive, but not in a cheesey, fake way. She constantly reminds you to keep proper form, so you won't get injured. I hope to have great results when I'm done in 90 days, and I'm going to post stats every 30.
