So since I lied to myself and didn't run on Monday when I was supposed to, my muscles were very sore yesterday. My last post discussed how just my quads hated me (I think? if not, I meant ot write it), but by the end of the day, many other muscles did too. I didn't want to risk pulling anything on day-2 and since the original workout called for a day of rest anyway, I figured it couldn't hurt to try something else instead.
Moral of that story: I did not run yesterday.
Instead, I decided to pull out this DVD I bought years ago and had yet to view. The DVD is a yoga workout focused on abs. I figured this was an okay thing to do since my abs could use some work and since yoga is a great way to stretch your bod.
The video started with some breathing excercises, but don't get fooled like I did because after the first three minutes I was in a full sweat. This man had me rolling around the floor bending, unbending, inhaling, exhaling, standing, sitting. I didn't know what was going on, and just as my abs were reaching their breaking point (because they have not been involved in physical activity in forev), we went back to breathing excercises, and then it ended. I was shocked actually, because that half hour completely flew by.
For my first yoga experience, I admit, it was pretty interesting. Afterwards I didn't feel winded at all, but very calm and relaxed. It was a nice feeling, except I normally like that winded feeling because I know I exerted myself. This morning, however, I could barely sit up. My abs are so tight, I can feel that six pack forming already, and my legs are no less sore than yesterday. If anything, I think they hurt worse.
None the less, I promise to go for a little jog after work today so that I have something interesting to discuss tomorrow.
XOXO
