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 9 - Pure Cardio!

I'm back to my early morning routine! Somehow it suits me better to get my workout completed before the 'real' day has begun. Thankfully too my stomach problems from yesterday seem to have completely gone...so there was nothing to hamper me this morning and I did a really good workout. It was extremely tough (EXTREMELY TOUGH!) this morning but I know I am pushing myself even harder this week. I am also feeling more confident in the stretching and I am seeing progress as I am able to stretch further than I could on day one. There is still a lot of room for improvement but the main thing is I am seeing progress. I am also still struggling with the push-up drills but I am at least attempting them and when it gets too much I am adapting them so that I have bent knees (the main thing is I keep going!). I'm sure I will get there and eventually I will be able to complete the workout in full but at least I can do a handful of press-ups in one go now instead of just one and then collapsing in a heap! :-)

Tomorrow its the Plyometric Cardio Circuit...bring it on!
