Day 3 & 4. Part 2.

Well, like I said, I was going to do Day 4's routine today as well. Seeing as today IS Day 4. Ha! Anyway, today was something called Cardio Recovery. It was a lot of getting into a position and holding it.  It was certainly a nice break from the fast paced, heart attack type exercises. But it still was not easy.


Some of the moves I was able to do pretty well. It was when we had to hold the position that I struggled. My poor knees have not taken to this weight gain too well. At some points throughout this routine, I thought for sure I was going to pop a knee cap across the room! But, alas, they are still in tact. 


There were also a few moves I "cheated" on. For example, on move is to get down on all 4's. Then, bring your knees in towards your elbows, and lift them off the floor with your toes. Then, you kick one of your legs out behind you, and pulse it up and down for a certain number of reps. Well, I couldn't do it like that even once. So, instead, I got into all the same positions, but didn't lift my knees up. I still did the leg pulses. I just cheated a little.  Maybe next time I will be able to get one or two real ones done!


I was checking the schedule, and it seems this Cardio Recovery routine is done every Thursday. There is some method in the madness, I suppose. 


I didn't get any arm work done. Shame on me, again. I hate to throw out any excuses, but it really does get hard once Parker is home. Tomorrow is another day. I will get better at this. I will get better at this. (If I repeat it over and over, maybe I will start to believe it.)
