Day 28: Strength/Cardio ... Shred video and running

Today, back to the regular mid-week routine: alternating video's and shorter runs.


We decided to run first.  There is a little trail loop by our house that we like for shorter runs.  You can go out on it a couple of ways for shorter, or slightly longer runs.  We did the loop that is about a half hour for us.

Then back for another round of Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred.

I have decided to modify some of the exercises to consider my injury.  It means I'm not pushing quite as hard as they do on the video.  Some people wouldn't do that, and if you're un-injured, you would probably get a bit more out if it if you do really push yourself.  Since I just injured myself last week doing just that, I'm dialing it back a bit.  I'm still pushing myself in the sense that I'm getting up early in the morning to workout on days our schedule calls for that.

"There is a difference between muscle burn pain, and injury pain"

The important thing is to get the exercise, but you also need to listen to your body.  There is a difference between muscle burn pain, and injury pain.  The burn is good.  Throwing your back out = bad.

Thanks for reading and take care of yourself!
