The last day should have been day 8, not 7. Day 7 is either stretching or resting...it is optional. Guess which one I did?
Woke up this morning with a sore left knee...not the one I've been having problems with. Was a little worried, but figured I would do as much as I could. Once I started, I didn't notice it.
I'm not sure if this is harder or if I'm pushing harder and that is why it feels so intense. I am getting used to all the exercises and I think that makes me focus on them more. I supposedly burned over 1100 calories in an hour...a little hard to believe but it was still an intense workout. I was able to do all the exercises this time although I didn't get as low or jump as high. I will be doing this for 11 more weeks, so there is no need to push my knees to their limit now.
The secret I am learning is to try NOT to watch the TV. I'm convinced that takes away from my ability to do the exercises. The more I know what I'm doing and the less I watch the TV, the more I can focus on pushing harder and the better I do.
Another example of that working is the Ab workout last night. Used the stick figures and did even better than last time.
Tomorrow is Yoga. I'll try to use the cheat sheet I made.
Yay for not dying!! I guarantee that you are now pushing yourself and that's why you are sore. In a month you will have this mastered (even with the confused muscles) and it will be a good burn instead of the 'oh God what did I do to my knee?!' burn. :)
