Week Six = Sore muscles

After a week off I was really feeling week six.

Core: I was feeling pretty energized for this one and I was particularly happy with my improvement with "Superman/banana." My abs were sore for a few days after this one. Laughing hurts!

Cardio: I finished this DVD for the first time without any unscheduled breaks. I was quite proud of myself about that. The pylo section always gets me with the 'wacky jacks.'

Chest, Shoulders & Triceps: I was really not in the mood to workout when I pushed play on Sunday. I was feeling low on energy and motivation and this DVD is my new least favourite. I grunted through the whole thing. My arms were shaking. I could barely prop myself up for in/outs and bicycle during the ab ripper. One a positive note. I tried out 'manly' push-ups at the beginning and managed to get through a whole TWO!

Running: I ended up with really sore shins after this run for a few days. I suppose trying to push myself after a three month hiatus was not a good idea. I'll have to ease back into running more slowly. Which means that I'll be doing pylo this coming week. Oh no!

Rest day: Way too sore to workout. Sore everywhere. I need a massage!

Legs & Back: Performing this workout with sore shins was interesting. I went to bed covered with A535. I haven't done this workout in 3 weeks so it was tough to get through.

Kenpo: Who came up with putting Legs & Back right before Kenpo? My glutes were super sore. Kicking with a sore ass just sucks. I quite enjoyed the punches and blocks but any lower body sections were killer.
