Today was another one of those days where it seemed like it was taking me forever to get up and going, but once I started everything was a bit easier. I know I keep saying this, but I am SO GLAD I added the Yoga Meltdown in before my daily shred. It has helped so much. My sore muscle in my calf isn't bothering me nearly so much now and I think it even helps with my endurance. Plus, it's all adding up as far as calorie burning goes seeing as I'm already sweating pretty good before the shred even starts! I did get a little twinge in my left knee towards the end of the shred today during the pendulum lunges and something or other. Hmmm. Can't remember the name, but the one where you lunge forward and press and then lunge backwards and press. It was only on my left side though, so I just did some leg kicks throughout the rest of that one and it didn't bother me again. Hopefully that was just a passing thing.
I have started reading through some options for what program to go into once this one is done. (YAY for being over halfway done with my first 30 Day Shred!) So far, I think I'm probably going to go through Ripped in 30. It looks like it's a ramp up in difficulty, but it also doesn't repeat exercises during each level. Plus, there's something to be said for changing routines every week as opposed to ten days. I think that would help keep me motivated to get started every day just because I get more into it the nearer I get to the end of a particular level.
So that's me today. What's everyone else doing?
This blog is about my own personal journey getting back to a healthy weight with an emphasis on all around health as well. This is all about helpful information and motivation. I've committed to posting EVERY DAY to keep myself on track and working through the rough bits.
