Hi Athletic Warriors!
Sunday, I did Step Moves--I think I finally have it!!!! You can't miss one cue though, or your off! It's fun as always though! Today, I did HiiT 40/20, Disc 13-Chest, Shoulders and Triceps and Yoga style Abs. I was off of work today, so it was a midday workout for me. 40/20---WHOOOAAA!!!! Now that was tough stuff! I somehow missed that there were 3 one minute breaks throughout the workout, and I was so happy when Cathe said, "now you get a minute to rest"! The intervals were tough for me. I tried to match the step height they were using. Very tough. I made it through most of the intervals, but ended up taking longer rest periods. This will be one I'll have to work up to! But I'm going to try it again probably on Friday.
Felt good to be doing Meso 2--it's probably my favorite. My pecs burning so much by the end of all the chest work. Same with the shoulders & triceps. Then I did yoga-style abs, which were hard since it had a lot of planks or moves in which your shoulders and chest had to support your body weight. Note to self--don't do yoga abs after chest & shoulder work!!!
Cathy, So glad to read that you are progressing and were able to do some calf work! I hope your husband gets to feeling better. I imagine he was so anxious to get back to working out that he thought jumping in would both feet would be fine. I hope he won't have to wait much longer.
Janis, I always feel wobbly when I do the Meso 1 wall squats. When I did STS the first time, it took awhile before I could pick up the weights when I went down. I still struggle with good form and balance, even though I can get the weights now! I love living in Germany---it really is a wonderful opportunity. It's so easy to travel throughout Europe. I definitely want to enjoy it as long as I can. I have a German made car too & love it!
I enjoy being a NP and hope to see more in practice.
Heather, I hope you rested better last night. I've been blessed not to have too many issues with my back, but the rare times I have pulled a muscle or something, I realized that when it hurts it hard to do anything, even rest comfortably! I will do Core Cardio very cautiously! I have a friend who was stationed here before me & she ended up marrying a German. Several other friends have decided to maintain homes here even once they depart for another duty assignment. It's a great place.
MJ, Hope your week is starting out well and that it won't be as busy!
See you all tomorrow!
