Saturday was my ResoLOSEtion group at the gym. Wow. This was the first session I have been to this round. (I missed the first one while I was up in Wisconsin.) We are doing the Insanity:Asylum workouts. Wheeeee! The format is the same in that it is sets of movements done for a specific amount of time each. So: five movements, and you do each one for thirty seconds. It is different in that this time there are resistance bands or weights incorporated into the workouts. It is intense - you SWEAT doing this workout even though we are not necessarily doing as much "cardio" moves. Whew!
Here is what I am noticing about myself in these workouts:
1. I've so missed doing things with a group of people-this group of people in particular. They spur me on to continue pushing myself.
2. While I am definitely not what I would call "in shape", I am in better shape than when I started in February. And I am more willing to try out a move than I was then. I even gave "Mountain Climbers" a try this weekend and I would have NOT done that when I started. I can't do them great but I did them the best I could.
3. My shoulders and arms are still pretty okay strength wise even though I haven't danced in forever. I'm not like Ms. Universe or anything but I'm not rubber-band-arms-girl either. :)
Sunday was the day STAG moved all of his big stuff into my - OUR - house. I packed boxes, carried them, moved them around etc. It was a day of hard work and a lot of stairs. By the end of the day, all I wanted was a shower to get the dust off and to go to bed. And that's what we did!
Neither of these days included the P90X workouts. Especially on Saturday, I felt like I got a good workout in. Tonight I am going to do it though. STAG will be at class and I will be on my own. But I feel like if I get in the workout while dinner is cooking I will feel good and can just hang out and do some house stuff tonight. Slowly, I'm trying to make this a part of my everyday life...
