Good morning Ya'll!!!!!!!
Insanity and STS are done for today. It's a good feeling. I started with Pure Cardio, then did STS Disc 22: Biceps. Then I did Cardio Abs. This was my 2nd time doing PC and CA, and it went much better. Putting the bicep work in between helped me rejuvenate for CA. Also, I knew what to expect with CA, and was able to hang with Shaun for all of it, except those double leg C-sit extensions. Those are tough! I took frequent breaks with those. Otherwise, it was all good. Pure Cardio was tough today; my legs were very tired. But that's the whole point, isn't it? Layering on the intensity, so the body learns to work at a whole new level.
Tomorrow I teach AquaFit from 8:15 - 9:00, then CycleFit from 9:45 to 10:45am. So, no Insanity for me tomorrow. These two classes are crazy enough for one morning
. I'll pick up Insanity again on Sunday, with Cardio Recovery, and STS Disc 22: Chest. I'm starting Week 4 of Meso 2!! That makes me very happy. And yes, I'm happy with some enhanced muscle definition in the upper body. I love what M2 does for me.
Jennifer - You made it through Month 1! That means you are READY for Month 2! If you stayed any longer with Month 1, you would be staying within your comfort zone, because you've adjusted to the workouts. To continue to make progress, you MUST get out of your comfort zone again, and change up the workouts. And...it's only for another 4 weeks. Then you can go back to doing whatever you want
. Only 4 weeks! You're going to exercise anyway....why not spend that time making a difference? BTW, I like your idea of doing the Fit Test on the Sunday. I may do the same, when I get there. Yes, you can appear to get leaner without losing weight. Essentially, your core and postural muscles may be getting stronger, and you may be firming up around the middle. And perhaps you're only losing body fat, while retaining your lean muscle mass. That's exactly what you want to happen. Keep up the good work!!
Dawn - Isn't it amazing how a bad night's sleep can affect you the next day? Excellent job on doing it anyway, and any way! You can cross that one off your list! I love PUB core work. It's some of her best stuff. The whole Intensity Series rocks, doesn't it? I haven't used much of it in ages, but it will always remain in my collection. In PCC, Shaun leaves out the double-hamstring stretch and the 10 rep glute raises, on the 2nd side. Or at least he does on my dvd
. If he was going to leave something out, couldn't it have been those dreadful ski abs??
Becky - Happy journey! How far away is DD going to be? Fabulous job on spontaneously subbing the cycle class! I love teaching cycle; it's a blast, isn't it? When you say "restart" Insanity, do you mean from Day 1? Was it you who was also going to do P90X? Is that still the plan?
Colleen - Where would you have gone for your vacation, if you'd had the money? We had a Stay-cation this year, too. DH finally got some much needed maintenance work done on the house, so I think it was a great week!
An hour of trying on bras, huh? That's what I'm dreading. But maybe I'll go in the evening, when the kids can stay home with DH. That'll help.
Have a great day!
Sandra
