I focused on a lot of core stuff, mostly abs and back. My posture is really out of whack since having a baby (I separated my abdominal muscles and was as swaybacked as you can possibly imagine) and I need to restrengthen all my ab muscles to help hold my lower back in place. I really pushed myself trying to be one of those personal trainers that really sucks at counting how many you've done so far. I was all like do just three more reps and I was all like just one more set and I definitely feel it today. I don't have that painful pulled feeling, I just feel like all the muscles are exhausted and have for sure been worked. I didn't go overly crazy, just did crunches, that twisty thing with the medicine ball, and the opposites thing with the big ball (which I could not find on the internets to shares with yous. Basically you lay on your back with you arms and legs straight up in the air and you hold a big exercise ball between you shins and hands. You let go of the ball with the opposite arm and leg and lower them to the ground and then lift them back up and switch sides. Make sense? No? Sorry.). The back extensions were really killer which was severely depressing. I used to do so many of those and I'd hug a weight plate and feel like I wasn't being challenged. Now I can barely just lift myself up 10 times. Yikes. After I finished my core torture, I ran speed intervals on the treadmill for 1.15 miles. I probably should have run for longer but it was getting late and I wanted to go home.
Today I feel so wiped out. I didn't sleep much because I got sucked in to watching a movie in bed with my husband (we watched Buried. It was shit, fyi) and then was woken up at 5am by the
Let's hope I can keep my shit together and get to the gym TWO more times this week!
