Body Beast back and bis... DONE!
I went tenderly at first, but once I realized that muscle wasn't going to act up, I just went for it. I did it as a paper workout, and turned on my favorite Christmas movie "It's a Wonderful Life" while I did it. I hate 15 reps, but watching George Bailey while I was doing the "1,1,2" bicep curls made it go faster!! I have been using a doubled up heavy band for my pull-ups, because although I have a pull-up bar, I don't have the strength to pull up. I ordered a pull up assist off Amazon the other day, it's one where there's 3 bands, each taking 30 pounds of weight, so I can progressively do pull-ups. well, it won't be delivered until sometime between July 2 and August 15 Quite the range! So I decided to put a chair under the pull-up bar, and I would keep one foot on the chair and tap the other one to the floor, then push off the floor to give myself some momentum to get up, and then stand on the chair again. I tried to use my back as much as possible like I was doing a pull-up, but this was much more doable until the assist comes sometime in the next week to two months!! I didn't feel that muscle at all, so I'm not gonna question it. Just gonna go with it!! This is my last week of doing the build workouts, then I do the "beast" workouts. I am gonna try to see if I can do them on paper too, probably the first week do them with Sagi to understand the exercises. As much as I used to hate paper workouts unless I was at the gym, I am liking these as paper. I think he goes too fast otherwise, but they are organized really well. Today will probably be cardio and abs day. My abs yesterday were SORE. I think from the yoga and yard work. Today I still feel them, but not as much. I'll have to see if they feel OK to work! Eventmom: I am with Ebianco, all the workouts I would be interested in, I have!! What a buncha vidiots we are. You reminded me though that I need to get rid of some videos, probably just donate them (the Jilian Michaels for sure). I need to go through and pare down some more too. I think I would get to chasing shiny workouts, and think "oh it's only $10/$15. I'll try it. It's not too expensive" but then when it all adds up, it sure was!! For workouts I oftentimes didn't even do. I have learned from my bad habits though and now I am more careful with my video shopping! Ebianco: we have so many stinking rocks I don't know what to do with! Besides the ones that just naturally are in our yard from living in the foothills, the people before us apparently bought river rocks and they have all been piled up by the deck since... well, probably since we moved in 15 years ago. I put the rocks I moved over with those rocks. I also have probably 2 tons of rock around my old pond that I didn't know what to do with so I put it around the pond. All that has to be moved too, but where? I don't need this rock!! Good luck with your lava rock! I do love lava rock because it is so light and looks nice! P90X yoga is 90 minutes. However, when I skip the crane, the yoga belly 7, and the just laying on your back stuff, it's about an hour. More doable! It's one of my favorite yogas because the sun salutations are at a minimum. I am so tired of sun salutation. I swear, is yoga only that series? Because it seems like it. Don't people who do a lot of yoga just want to gouge out their own eyes from boredom of the repetitiveness of it every day? I just hate sun salutations!!!
