Daily Check-in
Good morning! I did Drill Max for the second time yesterday morning. I struggled through the advanced upper body moves again. I modified the last drill by doing the squat thrusts with my hands on my step instead of the floor, and I was able to get all the way up into a tuck jump with Cathe! It is amazing what a difference that one little change made. Drill Max is a fun workout. I like it, but it is not my favorite of the series. That honor belongs to Body Max 2 or Cardio Fusion. I like all of them, but Body Max 2 is still the crown jewel of this series. I love the Drill Max segment of Cardio Fusion and expect to get more use out of the Drill Max premixes. The cardio leg blast premix looks fantastic. When I do the whole workout, my heart rate drops during the upper body work. It is hard for me to go from being down on the floor doing upper body work to being up on my feet hopping like a bunny rabbit. I have fun with the same agility drills in Cardio Fusion, but the upper body work in this one breaks the momentum. I have decided to enjoy the parts I love and save the rest for a future challenge. I am hoping that all those crazy push-ups will be more doable when I weigh less.
I met with my counselor last night, and we talked about my game plan for the holidays. I historically gain weight during this season, but I am hoping to break free from that cycle this year by the grace of God. I have been praying about this and have a good game plan. I will share more later.
This is my rest day, which is a good thing. I stayed up late last night doing Clean Max, and I am tired this morning.
Becky, I am sleeping through the night again. The light therapy is making a difference. Working out with Cathe again is helping too!
Conni, I asked Cathe about that leg blast premix with no warm-up. If she does not respond, we will just have to wonder! ;-)
Blessings,
