Okay. Sore. Yep, sore to the core. Arms.
Lower back is a little sore.
Hamstrings too. Neck and
shoulders? That one is a bit new. Must have been the core weight work in the HIIT training. There was a lot of dumbbell work and I was using the 15's. Welcome to week one of a tough Beachbody
routine. I have blogged this before but
I will blog it again…sore is good. Sore
is your body telling you that you are doing something better and harder that
will result in better conditioning. Pain
is not good, but sore is your friend.
When you get sore, that is the first time you consider quitting. Don’t.
This is my third time being sore at the start of a program. You will get through it.
Today is Combat 45 and Pump Challenge. I am actually looking forward to Combat 45 to
just activate the stiff areas. I also have
to remember to hydrate. It’s
winter. My body gets really dehydrated
in winter and I have to remember to hydrate heavily and reduce the coffee
intake. Fifty year old muscles have to
stay limber.
Okay, I will let you know later how the Day Three workout
goes!
Later:
Not bad. I thought it would be worse. I was sore when the workout started but I made sure to hydrate well. So when the workout started, I was sore in many different places and had to shake out the cobwebs. It took about 10 minutes and I was good. I am still sore, but it is getting a lot better. My body is responding. The whole workout, including Pump, took about an hour and 5 minutes with the break I took in between.
I'm fifty years old. If I can do it, you can too. Stick with it. Let your body absorb the changes. It won't come without soreness or stiffness. If you have pain, take a rest, but otherwise, you push through. Keep going!
Tomorrow is rest day which means Ab Ripper X. 20 minutes of working the abs back into shape. Stay with it!
