Woke up today and defiantly feeling sore. I ate some fruit for breakfast, healthy I know :) . I haven't seen any of the workouts before I am trying them so imagine my surprise when I put in my workout for the day Plyometrics. I should have know because yesterdays workout called for two programs and todays only for one!
So I start Plyometrics and its a "jump" workout. I got scared! It is a lot of jump squats and twisting and stuff like that. It's an hour long program and I am sad to say that my body gave up after twenty minutes. I hit the pause button quite a bit but I was determined to make it through. After falling on my ass trying to kick my leg over a chair and back again my my husband laughed at me for about 10 minutes lol. He then told me I was doing it wrong and after a few minutes of arguing over the fact that I thought I was doing it right but turns out my brain was tricking me lol. Again, he laughed at me lol. So I went about my exercise dying along the way. Yesterdays wasn't that big of a deal because I was working my arms so when they got tired I could still stand and attempt the exercise. TODAY however lol when your legs decide they can't support you anymore..... they don't lol. So at about the twenty minute mark I sit down to take a break because my whole body hurts, after about a ten minute rest and still no will to get back up I decided to call it a night and hope that over time I will be able to make the whole workout.
My husband laughed at me for the rest of the night while he watched me stumble around the house and almost fall over baby gates lol. Then again when I konked out early but hey! it's tiring lol.
Tomorrows workout is Shoulders and Arms followed by Ab Ripper X once again.
Til then,

Hang in there! You can do it. You do not have to "jump" during this program if you do not want to. Just bursting up on to your toes is fine! When I first did this about a year ago, this was as far as I got before I switched to Slim in 6. Then my coach told me all this *after* I had already made up my mind!
ReplyDeleteWhen they do the jacks, you can just do side steps instead. When they do the knee tucks, which I still have trouble with, I do alternating knee crunches after doing as many as I feel I can. Start without that chair! I fell too so I just went for personal best.
Hang in there! I'm routing for you! You can check out my journey too if you want to see my death! LOL In the message boards on TBB website search Coach Laura P's fitness journey. If you need more modifiers, please don't hesitate to call me! I will be MORE than happy to meet up with you and show you what I've learned.
