Holy Sweatfest!
Everytime I do one of Cathe's workouts, I think they are so aptly named!
MAXIMUM Intense Cardio is
EXACTLYthat! It doesn't END, does it?? Crazy as this sounds, I was thinking at the end: "Bring it on! Let's do the sequence again!!"
For some reason the Hi/Lo didn't bug me as much as it usually does, but it did bug me some. I can not stand the knee lift hands in all directions combos and also the kicks to the side... I HATE them! I kind of like the step combo, Kathy! Except for the 'sashays'.
I did notice my calf starting to hurt a little. (Had a calf pull in February). So I better watch it. Tomorrow is GS Upper body stuff, and Saturday KPC, so it will rest my calf from step for a bit anyhow.
I thought about DOMS and the Ricotta Cheese from yesterday, and I think it worked! I do have a bit of soreness if I *think* about it or stretch it, but not real sore! I might continue trying to eat it after weight work if I can.
Kathy: Glad I'm in good company with my "off" eating !!
I did survive Zach at camp, not without some frayed nerves, but I made it. I am proud of him getting to do 12 year old boy stuff and not have the diabetes limit him.
Beth: Which Turbo Jam did you get? the one with the 2 discs in it? The tuck IS hard to hold in the beginning. Don't even worry about it. I swear, everytime i do the cardios from TJ, my abs and CORE really feel it the next day! I'll have to check out the discussion about rest days. I usually just take them when the rotation says (actually I can't work out on Sundays when I work, so it isn't a problem). There are some days I'm not into it as much, but I always try it, and if I STILL am not into it in 15 minutes of working out, I'll stop. I think I've stopped 1 or 2 times in all my years of working out!
Justine: Active recovery weeks are nice because you just do what you feel like, nothing intense. it's good!! Oh, I wasn't eating MARSHMALLOWS, (But I do love them too). Not sure if they have this any where else but the East coast, but it's Marshmallow FLUFF. It comes in a jar, and is white marshmallow spread, you can make a sandwich with it with Peanut Butter (YUM!). It's pure evil!!
Off to the showers, just finished my Post-workout snack!!
BBL...
