Yippee - Finally A DVD I Could FINISH !!!!

I am so proud of myself!  I actually FINISHED the LEG | BACK dvd without pausing (although I was a lil behind on a few routines).  Before I knew it, I was instructed to start stretching.  Maybe I was in what they call, "THE ZONE".   My breathing was on point and I didn't SWEAT perspire as much as I thought I would (although I did have on a bandana and my hair was braided back towards my neck).  This time I was SMART; I did not let my EGO in the way. When it stated it was NOT NECESSARY to use the weight, I LISTENED and didn't use the weights.  I was surprised how fast the workout went.

I would say that the HARDEST portion was:

  • The WALL SQUATS with two legs
  • The WALL SQUATS with one leg
  • The SNEAKY whatever they called it
  • The GROUCHO walk
I still have the AB Ripper to do later this evening.  I've decided that it's not in my best interest, to do anything that puts to much STRESS around my neck and shoulders.  I used the CABLES for the BACK exercises, so hopefully I will not be TOO SORE tomorrow. 

I almost forgot ... wow do you remember the PAST INJURIES when you work out.  I tore the ligament/tendon on my left ankle about 15 years ago.  Therefore, I only have about 80% strength
in that ankle.  So it's awkward to stand on ONE LEG or to try to SPRING up in the air.  Trust,
it reminded me of that, once I started the video.

Okay ... time to walk the dogs.  One is on each side of me, staring me down.  Whenever I get into my WORKOUT GEAR, they figure it's time for them and NOT ME!

Be back after I do the AB Ripper.
