Day 8: Exercise


Day 8 was back into it full throttle.  My schedule changed this week and I have today off.  So Addie and I worked out together once she got back from work.

First up: 30 Day Shred video.  Jillian, you still kick my butt...  I am currently on Level 1 of 3 and needing to catch my breath for some of it.  The hardest part for me is the shoulder work.

Then...

After getting good and sweaty (and working the heck out of my calves and shins) we ran for a half hour.  It's a good 50 minutes of exercise altogether.  I keep this up, and the belly is coming off.

Stay tuned.

"It's tougher.  This can only be good"

Other thoughts:  the running is definitely tougher after doing 20+ minutes of video.  Last season we did some cross training, but we would alternate days - running or a core video, not running and a core video (or shred in this case).  My breathing is getting worked, which is good: it should increase my respiratory endurance, which can only be to my benefit.

Also, at this point, I cannot image Jillian's Level 3...

Thanks for reading and take care of yourself!
