Zzzzz

I'm typically a night owl, but I think I burned too many late night candles this week.  Combine that with early work calls and all of this working out and I'm exhausted.  I nearly fell asleep before my kids tonight.  Only reason I didn't was because one got their feelings hurt and I had to do some extra cuddle time.

Sooooooooo PiYo Day 4: Sweat.  This one was a 40 minute session and it was definitely a workout.  Did I break out in all out sweat?  No, but I did feel some forming and the only reason it wasn't dripping was because I had the fan right on me while I was working out.

So how did I feel?  All those push ups were killer.  My arms are yet again sore.  The up downs with burpees added in - wow.

The trainer?  She is just so nice and encouraging.  Really strange to be working out and have someone be so encouraging and saying you are beautiful, etc.  Maybe too much watching the biggest loser and picturing Jillian Michael's screaming at the people?  It is a very different energy / intensity compared to T25, but it is still a good workout.  The pace is good for the yoga / pilates feel where it is supposed to be nice and calm.  The flow of the moves is good and it is easy to keep up with the sequencing and how she repeats the moves.

Definitely not as high intensity with lots of jumping, etc. so good for someone seeking low impact.  The only part that was hard for me was the amount of pain in my ankle/lack of arch.  I need to tape up with my kensio tape the next time I do these workouts.  (I have no arches from something called an accessory navicular which is an extra bone on the side of my ankle.  This extra bone makes the tendons have to stretch further to go around and the pain can get intense.)  Okay, enough whining - I enjoyed the workout and as I feel the pain in my arm I have to believe it is working :).  Off to bed now to recover.  Night!
