Great exercise!
Well, today I did what my trainer said I should. I ran on the treadmill for 40 minutes, peaking and dipping so as to keep my heart rate up without wiping out too early in the exercise. At first go, my legs felt like I had shin splints (I’ve dealt with them before, not fun), but as they warmed up and got into the rhythm of the motion, they stopped hurting, and stayed at the steady ache of legs that are not used to being used so strenuously for such a long period of time (sad, I know). Afterwards, I got on the rower and pumped that thing for five minutes, which was about all i could take. That thing’s killer. Afterwards, I felt the effects in my outer pelvis, my biceps and triceps, my back and my lower and mid abs, my gluts, my hamstrings, my shins and calves. It was five minutes of intense resistance training for my whole body. I caught my trainer afterwards and told him about it, and that I wasn’t as sore as I thought I’d be. He said that’s good, because he wants to push me harder, joking that he only wants to be my bud at the start. I’m excited to see what the future will bring, exercise-wise. I’m really stoked about the progress pics I’m gonna shoot out this weekend, because after two days of this (and yesterday was only a partial getting-to-know-you-day) I’m already starting to feel… more, is that the word. My body is making me more aware of it, if you get what I’m saying, I don’t know how else to say it. And starting this morning I have been doing hamstring stretches. It’s not at all comfortable, but already I’m beginning to feel the effects of it.
well, that’s all for tonight!
Kudos!
