I officially started on Wed. with the first workout. I completed it, and I surely felt it! Let's just say it was a class on discovering just how UN-flexible I have become! Being overweight doesn't help, but there are just some position shifting that isn't as smooth as the professionals! Hey, if you can't laugh at yourself...... And, with the pinched nerve stuff still showing it's face, the moves were sometimes more challenging than I think they would have been otherwise. But again, I pushed through and I must say that I did break a sweat and by the end I felt pretty loose. I thought I'd be tight and in pain but I wasn't. So in the back of my mind I'm thinking this is going to be something very good for me by the end of the first 60 days. And that was Day 1.
So this morning I did the day 2 routine, which was supposed to be for the upper body. And it was, I guess. While I did once again break a sweat, fumble through the positions, laugh at myself (more than thankful that the rest of my house was sound alseep and couldn't witness my half plank twist (or whatever it was called) disaster!) as I tried to figure things out, I completed the set and felt pretty accomplished. Well, actually I felt like I really didn't do anything. I'm feeling alot in my wrists and shoulders while doing the exercises - which I guess is making them stronger - but so far nothing really hurts. As I'm sitting as my desk writing this and thinking about it, I can kind of feel a "fatigue" in my abs/core, so I'm going to say this is working! And I can be brutally honest and say there's a lot of fat to melt off those abs! So to feel something now is a fantastic thing!
Note: I purchased PiYo for myself as a way to steer me back on the exercise train and get through the joint issues I've been facing which have kept me off track. But I also purchased it as a "couples" program in hopes of being able to work out with my main man! (I even bought him his own yoga mat) <3 I can only imagine what it's going to be from his perspective..... You all may want to keep checking in just for the fun of it! So anyway, he's been away on business so I'm getting a head start this week and using this as my "trial" week. He's much more fit than I am and I need all the help I can get because I have a feeling he will be true to his nature and it's going to become a serious competition.
Well, babe.... GAME ON!
