Power 90 Day 3

OK so the first day kicked my ass. Second day kicked my ass.

Today? Day 3? Kicked my ass. BUT (and that's a big but) it was easier.

It's like my muscles are saying "Ooooh yes. We remember this. You just did this a  couple days ago. OK, well let's do it again. This time we'll be ready!"

So it still hurt like a bitch, and I was making really ugly, squinty faces the whole time, but somehow... it was easier to push myself. Muscle memory is amazing. I can already do the pushups that I couldn't accomplish on day 1!

I can not wait to do day 4. It seems like it keeps getting better and better!

Also, Tony is still funny and not annoying. Which is amazing because I hate everything and am annoyed easily.

Power 90 Day 2

OK so day 1 was the weight training. Day 2 is the cardio and abs.

First impressions:

I love the pushup/power yoga/ plank thing. It's freaking hard, but I bet when I'm stronger, fitter, and lighter it's going to be really fun to fluidly move between all of those poses.

Who knew that pumping one's arms up and down over and over while high stepping in place for a minute would be so hard? It's cool! It's like cardio... without the moving forward part!

I love the X. Such a cool idea.

I did 100 crunches, bitches!!! It wasn't bad either! I think the fact that I've done Denise Austin's Pilates DVD a few dozen times helps my technique. I know how to point my toes when I do the bicycle one! I win!!!!!!

This was 'easier' for me than the circuit day, but I was still weak, sweaty, and tired when it was done. LOVE IT!

Power 90 Day 1

First impressions:

I'm using 8 lb weights, which seems about right for me.
Tony Horton is a hoot. (There's a Dr. Seuss pun in there somewhere...)
This is gonna be hard.
I am weak.
This is gonna be fun.
This is gonna be hard.
I will be strong.

I'll share my Day 1 picture when I get to day 90. I'm soooo not looking forward to that.
