Ah, it was another delightful day with this workout. I did this for the first time the Friday before Colorado, and today, I am feeling the same burn I felt then. Oh, man, it's tough. But, on the heels of plyo, it's also very empowering. I feel as though all my muscles are prancing around on the inside--well, waddling--saying, "Look what we can do!"
I haven't invested in push up bars yet. I really do need to. My wrists were hurting pretty bad today, and that's not a place on my body I want pain. Sure, pain in the muscles is awesome. I've always been comfortable with my wrists, though, so I'm not feeling like I need to overwork them. I was on my knees for more of the push ups than I'd like to, but that definitely helped with the wrist issue. Better than nothing, amen?
The workout itself is really great. I love the weight training videos. You get to push yourself as far as you can go, and that shake at the end, when you think that you know that you just can't do any more is pretty intense. It's even more intense when you manage to eek out one more rep before your body totally quits. There is a woman in this video (I can't remember her name! Jake! What is it?) who is well into her 50's, and I'd put her in her 60's, if I'm being honest. I love her. I love that she's who I want to be. Strong, ageless and amazing. She inspires me, this nameless woman.
Ab ripper? Slight improvement today. I'm still not at the all capital letter phase, but I did manage to do all the reps for the first three moves. That's a first for me. I'll count it as a small win. It's not trophy-worthy, but it's definitely sticker-worthy. When did stickers cease to be the most awesome thing in the world?
Day 37: Brought.
