As Caitlin pointed out in a comment on my last post, I have been at for almost 3 weeks! And I DO feel like a rockstar!!!
Tonight was workout 4 for the second time. When I first tackled workout 4 on Monday, I SERIOUSLY struggled with the plank leg lifts....I'm really happy to say that today I completed almost all of them. This is a massive improvement for me since basically anything plank related = setup for failure. However I do not believe in failing, so I will keep pushing until I can do it.
For those that are doing BR or contemplating it, Jillian does make reference that the nice little moments she builds in to let us recover will go away in future workouts. Not cool Jillian. But, as she also is quick to remind us in basically every dvd - "when there's a why, you can tolerate any how". And it's only 30 minutes.
Isn't it great to see improvement? That's my favorite thing about exercise. It works faster than you think! Great job on the planks! Those are killers!
ReplyDeleteUrgh, I can't wait to try the new workouts this weekend! Plank leg lift sounds deadly. :-)
ReplyDeleteOn workout 3, the hardest thing was in the crab walk position. I could lower my butt but bending my elbows hurt! I hope that gets easier. This workout was a bunch of plank...ew. LOL I struggled with the downward dog grab the opposite leg things. At first, I remember thinking, is this even possible? The crescent poses were hard, too. The first time through, I was still trying to figure out how they were doing it. The second time, I sort of kept up...very tough. Workout 4 tomorrow!
