It’s amazing what foam rolling and a hot shower can do to worn out muscles! I woke up Thursday morning and my legs felt much better. I could walk without pain. I’m glad that I took it easy yesterday after my long run. I was able to get up and do a bootycall workout :-) I went with Bikini Blast – 20 reps X3sets. I was planning on starting the new 5 Day Slim Down from Tone It Up’s Beach Babe Edition but I realized that with my training for my Big Sur race coming up in a couple weeks, I would need to eat more. I decided to wait until after my Big Sur race to do the slim down :-)
That didn’t stop me from trying out the new recipes though :-) For breakfast I tried the Banana Split recipe. I didn’t have carob chips but I did have Chobani Champions Vanilla Chocolate Chunk so I used that instead. I also added some chia seeds. This was soooo good!! After I dropped Seppe off at school, it was time for some Turbo Fire.
Decaf Green Tea w/ Stevia to start my day.
Turbo Fire Day 53 – For Core 20 I really pushed myself. The floor exercises are always hard for me but I really made an effort to keep up with them today. It burned so bad! I know it’ll be worth it though :-) Stretch40 was amazing! It was exactly what my body needed. Even though the beginning moves work up a sweat, by the end of it, I am completely relaxed and all stretched out :-)
Last Interval before cool down. Love the Seconds Pro App!
Afternoon workout was Tone It Up’s and SelfMagazine’s Drop10 Engine Revver HIIT workout. Since it was cold and rainy out, I headed to the gym. I don’t mind running in the rain, but my knees needed a little break from pounding pavement. The elliptical isn’t too bad when doing a HIIT and it was actually easier for me to do the workout on the elliptical instead of the treadmill. Ended my day with a 5min plank for PlankADay.
