Day 30: Cardio X

Wow.  30 days.  One month.  I did it!  I can't say that it's been the easiest month, but it sure has been rewarding.  I hadn't done Cardio X in quite some time, and it felt good to do it again today.  I will, however, have to start phasing it out pretty soon.  It's a good workout, but it's not great for cardio anymore.  I am going to have to start doing plyometrics, which I was happy to not have to do in the Lean program.  BUT--I need to.  No more fear of the insanity that is jump training.  No more fat pants cardio X.  Well, no, it's not that bad.  I was definitely working hard.  The first half of it is yoga, which is awesome, but just not cardio, you know?  But, there's a snip of plyo, kenpo and core synergistics after that, and that's when the burn comes.  By the time I get to it, though, it's only about 20 minutes of hard cardio.  I'd like to do at least 45 minutes of hardcore cardio.  So, plyo, you son of a gun, I'm coming for you! 

Only downside to 30 days:  pictures.  Still don't like them, especially these.  I like to be covered in layers upon layers of clothes at all times.  These shorts and, um, not so much on the toppage, make me feel whatever's more vulnerable than vulnerable.  HOWEVER, by the end, I'm sure I'll be strutting it so much people will be screaming, "Hey, lady, put your shirt back on!"  Just try to stop me at day 90.  I am, of course, kidding.  Sort of.

I just filled out my workout schedule on my calendar, and I mixed up my end date.  Oops!  It's September 17th, which will give me more time to marathon train! 

Day 30:  Brought.

  1. 30 days! I'm so proud of you! A third of the way there! That's astounding to me. That went by so fast! I'm excited for you strutting in those shorts. September might be a little chilly, though, just warning. ;)
