OK, it went better than last week - let me just start with that...
But I've been done my workout for over 30 mins and I'm still shaky!! What an intense workout! I still can't believe they put one-arm push-ups AND clap push-ups in the same video - and both in the second half of the workout... KILLER!
Noticed something interesting though... In the other arms routine, they have tricep side raises at the end - as part of the "bonus round" - and I can do over 26 per side. (Superhero!) However, in this workout, they've also included the same exercise - but I can barely get to 17! See, the workout is THAT intense. :)
It almost every set, I pushed myself to add ONE more rep - and in most cases I did that! So, it was a great workout - I know my body is feeling it and I feel like I have an extra boost in ME credits getting through that challenge!
(Yes, I just invented "ME credits" - since I don't know the difference between self-confidence, self-esteem and self-worth to adequately describe what I'm feeling)
Oh - and let's not forget the icing on the cake today - Ab Ripper X. Holy goodness was that hard to get through. In many ways, I think doing my workout at 5:30, with the time pressure of getting to work on time helps push me through my workout - and limits the amount of mental babble that can work against me (depreciating my ME credits). I took several mini-breaks - but managed to get through it all... Oh, didn't do as many V-roll ups as I was supposed to - but did as many as I could.
I also added a couple of extra hip stretches at the end in hopes of loosening up that joint after it was worked so hard. I still can't believe how much my hips feel that ab workout.
