Today was my first day doing Butts & Guts. I decided on the timesaver as I am not used to doing workouts over 1 hour at this point. I didn't realize how long it's been since I did a serious weights workout and it really put me in my place! I wasn't able to finish it and realized that I need to go back to the basics and rebuild my strength foundation before moving on to more advanced workouts. I am a bit shocked and a bit sad at the muscle strength that I've lost (I suffered a 4 month burnout where I worked out 3x a week at most, and none of it was weights).
I looked at Cathe's beginner rotation but as I am not really a beginner exerciser, I haven't considered it. I can do a total body weights video but I think this is the first time I did a more focused workout, and perhaps that's why I had such a hard time. If anyone has any advice for regaining my strength without overwhelming myself, I'd be greatly appreciative!
