Another day, another hour long workout. 328 calories for a 45 minute workout. I had to skip the last 15 minutes again because of time constraints. It's an easy choice when confronted with the decision of finishing my workout or getting to work on time. Yet I know I can have both. Tomorrow I vow to actually get out of bed when the alarm goes off... not 15, 20 or even 30 minutes after. Anyone with children understands the challenges that face Mr. Sandman. If it's not one thing it's another. Yesterday the little monster ate way too much fruit and developed a bad diaper rash because he was constantly stinking up his shorts. He understandably doesn't sleep very well like that and as such Mommy doesn't either.
I now know why we did Core Cardio and Balance for a week. You use your core in every single exercise and it pushes your balance to the limit. I thought I was pretty well balanced, first from yoga and then from Month 1 Insanity exercises but I was wrong. There are these one exercises where you balance on one leg, the other bent up at the knee. Then you raise your hands over your head, lean forward to touch the floor with your opposite leg still in the air and from there jump straight in the air and land on that same leg that you balanced on to begin with. Then you do it again, again and again. My balance is so pathetic that after each jump I had to stop, put my other foot down just so I wouldn't fall on my face, and center myself so I could do another.
Today my abs are still tender and also my shoulders have the after burn going on. There are quite a bit of jumping, balance and strength workouts in this DVD. On the plus side though, I didn't feel like giving up halfway through. I believe I have finally pushed through the sugar block I built up this weekend and I'm grateful. Nothing worse than doing an intense workout when you're not at your peak.
