So while Wednesday’s bike ride was a challenge, I was feeling pretty good on Thursday. Both excited and dismayed that I apparently didn’t get a workout out of the brutality that was Wednesday’s conflict with the wind.
It was late by the time I had time to exercise so the bike was out (I’m not riding in the dark!) but Core de Force still exists. Lol I haven’t been nearly as dedicated to that as I’d like to be – unlike P90X3, this one has a pretty serious time commitment and, well, that time is not always there. But I am loving the results it gets even with less than ideal commitment so I picked the most intense video and away I went.
But while I felt I wasn’t tired, something was clearly nqr… Each of my “roundhouse” kicks sent me spinning in a circle (this was really quite comical I must admit, but disconcerting as it wasn’t on purpose!) And I quickly noticed that any jumps that involved moving forward were not, in fact, propelling me particularly far forward.
It only got worse… When she asked “is your guard up?” No, no its not. And trying to put it there resulted in tapping myself in the face (I say ‘tap’ because there was so little power it doesn’t count as a punch!) And “are you retracting your kick?” No. If I ever have to actually fight someone, they’re just going to grab my ankle or my wrist and I’ll be done.
Lol I got through the program, but while I didn’t feel muscle sore going in, I have to acknowledge my poor body was very definitely tired. So today, instead of exercise, I’m going out for dinner ;) This seems an entirely reasonable deviation from all current goals.
