Memories!!!!!

So, I did Burn It Off and Ab Burner this week after months of not even looking at those workouts. I just did ab burner today, so we will see what my abs are like tomorrow...I did forget how tough it is though. YIKES!!! I did Burn It Off on Thursday, however, and my inner thighs have been sore ever since. TWO...yes TWO full day of soreness in my inner thighs. I think they are so sore from those stupid burpee series that is done at the end of the workout...I really tried to go deeper into my sumo squat and boy am I feeling it now. I just can't believe how sore I continue to be even after doing other workouts and the stretches...usually that will stretch me out and my soreness starts to decline, but not this time. I guess it is good though...tells me my body had a great workout. :)

Anyway, I am doing my rotational thing again. This first week, I did the first Lean 4 Life week excluding the Push circuit. In its place I added Lower Body Extreme. I kept everything else the same...doing one cardio, one interval, and abs. The second week, I will do all three circuits of Push with my Tower 200 (for lower body) and weights (for upper body). Again, I will keep the interval, cardio, and ab workouts the same . I will continue to alternate between the lean 4 life week and push for the whole 8 weeks. We will see how it goes.

Sarai,
I haven't tried the Tower 200 in my workouts, but Pat tried it out and liked it and I did a couple of squats just to get the "feel" of it and I think it has good potential for helping me increase weight for my lower body. It has pulley systems on both the top and bottom giving you options for upper and lower body exercises. Again, I haven't tried it in an actual workout, but I think it should work. I will let you know after this week what I think of it. :) Also, I think it is great that you have "relaxed" on the amount of exercising you do every week. I believe God gave you the right idea to focus on yourself and Steven.

Amber,
You have been doing a great job staying on track with working out and eating right...good for you. It is never easy...especially working at CDC and especially when someone (not mentioning any names) brings you a delicious Oreo Cookie Shake, but you have been doing great and you should be very proud of yourself. I hope you are able to take a week off soon (not counting the one you took when you got so sick) because I bet your body could use a little recovery time. :)

Anyway, I hope you all have a great workout week!
