Basics aren’t so easy!
This morning I pulled out the workout routines Terri started me on six months ago. My gosh.. I had no idea it would be so hard.
Since I’ve been working out on my own (without Terri), I started focusing on building muscle. I dropped the cardio part of my workout (which I hated). It’s amazing how quickly the body can change.
In January, after following Terri’s instructions for a few months, I could not get my heart rate up to 140 even with 50 minutes on the tread-climber. Today, after 5 minutes my heart rate was 150. At 10 minutes it was 165! It stayed between 150 and 165 the entire workout. Plus.. I sweat!! I forgot all about the sweat. The routines I’ve been doing have 2 to 3 minutes rest between sets. Terri’s routine offers NO rest. It was really thought, but it felt so good.
I also completed one full day (yesterday) with no junk food.. no candy, no cookies, no rice krispy treats!
One day down, 13 to go.
