To catch up on last weeks workouts. Last week was my last week of STS Mesocycle 1 Muscle Endurance. I already updated you with Monday's workout. Tuesday was cardio and I went with the Insanity warm-up from Pure Cardio and then I followed that with Cathe's Athletic Step. I really like Athletic Step but it's not a full hour and I don't feel like my heart rate gets up there until we're into the 3rd combo so I thought I'd jump start it with an Insanity warm-up. That made a world of a difference.
Weds was back and triceps. What a workout it was. Worked the muscles really good. Felt awesome!!
Thursday was cardio. I went with the Insanity Pure Cardio warm-up.... gosh for someone that got really sick of the Insanity warm-ups, here I am doing it two times in the same week. :-) After I did the warm-up, I put in Cathe's Cardio Core Circuit. Had a great workout. It felt tough, mainly because I was really stuffed up. I got through it and had a pretty good calorie burn.
Friday was legs. I don't know what it was but this workout felt tough. I pushed through and new I was going to be feeling it on Saturday and that I did. Man did I feel it in my glutes and quads. I don't know if doing a more intense cardio the day before had an impact on Friday's workout or not. I'm sure it probably did to some point. I did it!!
Then there was Saturday..... legs were definitely feeling it. I had a sinus headache and didn't feel like jumping around too much so I decided to do the elliptical and did Cardio Coach Press Play. I got 10.5 miles in. It was a little tough on the legs but not as bad as I thought. It was a good way to end the week.
Sunday was my rest day and rest it really wasn't. I didn't do a normal workout but I did workout the majority of the day. I was out in my vegetable garden from 9:30 am until 3:15pm and it was really hot outside too. I made sure I kept the water flowing. By the end of the day, I was physically wiped out.
This week is supposed to be my active recovery week. Not really sure exactly what that means. I do take the week off from lifting. I didn't want to do a really intense cardio since it is supposed to active recovery week, so I did a workout that I haven't done in a really super long time, which is Cathe's Cardio Kicks. I love this workout, especially the drills in the second half. I did change up certain moves to make them a little more difficult to get my heart rate up there more. I love the punching drills at the end. Not sure what tomorrow is going to bring. We'll see how I feel in the morning. I've been waking up lately very congested.
How was your last weeks workouts? I'd love to hear about it.
Keep on moving and sweating!!
