Today is an overcast rainy day, that is still hot when the sun comes out and cold when it hides behind the clouds.
I will set aside time to work out today but I'm thinking limited cardio and yoga in the house. I like doing what I can to keep up and go along with P90X YogaX. Some of it is entirely too hard for me to do at the moment -- but I still TRY at least once to see if I can.
The chair pose is extremely hard and you have to have no gut in order to do this. And guess what I have? A gut. It's going away but it's there and is hampering my ability for now to do that pose. So now I have a goal. Yay me!
The repetitive nature of Yoga or Pilates is what makes me break a sweat, and shaking muscles actually means "yes" you are doing something right. It used to be, back in the day, if your muscles were shaking it was considered "weak" and "potential for injury". I think that there is potential for injury if you haven't consulted your doctor (which I have) and you haven't bothered to follow instruction and do something with cold muscles and tendons (which I don't). Easy as pie. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
I have experienced my own body stretch farther and more comfortably with warmed up legs and arms. My back absolutely loves stretching once I'm at my weight loss heart rate which is 158bpm (my resting is 82). I nearly fell asleep stretching after cardio and a yoga session once.
I'm not a fitness buff or fanatic but I DO know that I feel better already in my body, and I happen to like jogging. I've never liked that before. Lots of changes happening lately.
This mornings meal was a breakfast bun and some bacon to get that calorie intake going. I've been watching what I eat all week so far and I think I need more calories in the morning. We'll see if my theory is sound.
