Day 6
This workout was called Cardio Flow and it was weird. It was different than any workout I had ever done. It was hard.
The workout flows like links on a chain. It goes like this:
1. Inchworms
2. Inchworms, Spider Push-up
3. Inchworms, Spider Push-up, Flamingo
4. Inchworms, Spider Push-up, Flamingo, Diamond Squat Jumps
5. Inchworms, Spider Push-up, Flamingo, Diamond Squat Jumps, Duck Walk
6. Inchworms, Spider Push-up, Flamingo, Diamond Squat Jumps, Duck Walk, Gorilla
7. Inchworms, Spider Push-up, Flamingo, Diamond Squat Jumps, Duck Walk, Gorilla, Bear
8. Inchworms, Spider Push-up, Flamingo, Diamond Squat Jumps, Duck Walk, Gorilla, Bear, Kick Throughs
9. Inchworms, Spider Push-up, Flamingo, Diamond Squat Jumps, Duck Walk, Gorilla, Bear, Kick Throughs
10. Inchworms, Spider Push-up, Flamingo, Diamond Squat Jumps, Duck Walk, Gorilla, Bear, Kick Throughs, Crabs
11. Inchworms, Spider Push-up, Flamingo, Diamond Squat Jumps, Duck Walk, Gorilla, Bear, Kick Throughs, Crabs, Mule to Frog
12. Repeat 11.
Holy crap was I pouring sweat. I have to admit I am probably the least coordinated person you'll ever come across so duck walks are hard for me. I feel like I'm going to fall over and I know I look like an idiot. Luckily, I'm at home so I don't really care how I look.
Day 7
This was a rest day. Instead of a workout there was a video called Roll and Release that teaches you how to use a foam roller to massage your own muscles. My quads were absolutely killing me so rolling them on the roller was like torture. Autumn kindly directs us to roll the pain more because it will help...it did. I hated it and cried out a few times, but it did help afterward.
Day 8
Back to Total Body Core. Instead of two rounds by 15 sets, it was 3 rounds of 10 sets. I have wrist issues so holding myself up is hard. Luckily, I found a weird gel wrist brace on Amazon that seems to help some of the pain I experience in my wrists. I don't want something stupid like wrist pain to keep me from my goal.
Day 9
That brings us to today, Booty. Again, like the above it increased from two rounds to three. By three, I felt my gas running out but I pushed through it. Like I said, Autumn has a way of reading my mind and saying what I am thinking at the time. I'm not unique. I want to give up. I make excuses without even thinking about it but she says something and I keep going. The pain is temporary and I went through every exercise and I did so with full steam and pushed through when it got harder.
I'm proud of myself. I usually quit by now but I like this. I like getting up at 4 am, I like having my coffee in the quiet of the morning when I'm finished...and today, I even got to see a couple of deer.
