Recovery is going really well!! I'm kinda getting used to these "lighter" workouts & I'm afraid of what's to come next week! But I hope to be ready!! I think I strained an oblique muscle!! I'm just so excited to know that I have oblique muscles!! LOL I couldn't find where the pain was exactly coming from, but it's on the right side under the chest area. It's either an oblique or a rib. Hmm... But when we did oblique work & especially plank, that's when I could feel it the most. The moving plank walk really gave it a twinge. But it's not horrible. I'll try icing it later! I also threw in cardio abs just for "fun". LOL I didn't want to add it everyday because I do want to actually take advantage of my recovery week, but figured an extra session or two of cardio abs this week can only help!! :)
Got my hair cut & colored today so I'm feelin' like a new person!! I'm lovin' the looks of my abs that are slowly comin' around! I have a loooong way to go but I can definitely see some definition starting to peek out. :)
I'm not too happy with my heartrate monitor, though. It's not saying that I burned that many calories. I'm not sure if it's correct or not. Around 280 for core cardio & balance & only 100 for cardio abs???? Last time it said 325 for core cardio & balance & around 130 for cardio abs. Hmm... I'll have to keep an eye on that & see how it records for the other workouts. Sometimes my wrist hits the "stop" button so that timer stops & I have to start it again so I might lose a minute here or there, but I'm trying to keep an eye on that now. We'll see... All I know is I'm giving my all & that's all I can ask for! And I'm starting to see some results so LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! :)
Half way through recovery week!! Month 2 is right around the corner...GULP!!
