Day 11 - Cardio Recovery

I really struggled to get myself going this morning but thankfully I managed it in the end! and I am so pleased I did as I did a really good 'Cardio Recovery' session - this routine is a lot easier than the other ones as its more like pilates and yoga and there's lots of stretching and slow movements. I really needed this 'recovery' day today as I am feeling quite tired. I think its a combination of the hard workouts this week so far and a busy life in general...but I'm sticking at it and still feeling very positive about the whole challenge!

Think I will need an early night tonight as its Cardio Power & Resistance tomorrow! :-)

...and have you seen the countdown, only 51 more days to go!...

Day 4 - Cardio Recovry

Another session completed for the week (and as I write this its still only 8:10am!), loving these early morning routines and feeling really good with my progress so far. Today's session was a recovery session, so no cardio at all just stretching and exercises...today's session was more like a pilates or yoga class and was great! I really need these sorts of sessions mixed up with the cardio to improve my flexibility. One thing I noticed today is that my balance really isn't very good. I am better balancing on my left leg than my right - hopefully as my core strengthens my balance will improve too.

Back to a high intensity session tomorrow - bring it on! :-)
