Day #23 (re-do)

Today was workout #4, back muscles and holy crap it kicked my butt. But that's because I had some added resistance for my workout.

Because of my sister's cat.

That's right friends, today's blog is about something very special...pets and exercise.

My sister used to complain that when she was doing yoga Google would climb all over her and under her and be generally annoying. She used to have to lock him up just to work out. Since I've begun BR, I haven't really had that problem. In fact, he usually sits on the couch behind me unfazed while I do my thing. Even my dog, who can easily get provoked if she thinks you're playing with her, will just stand and watch while I do cardio 1's suicides (which actually seriously amazes me each time, I always expect her to join in).

But today...ohhhhh today....Google would not leave me alone and chose some very terrible opportunities to "help me".

Let's talk hollow man. Easily one of the more painful things Jillian forces upon us in workout #4.

Picture this...you're laying flat on your back. Lift your shoulders/back like you're doing a crunch. Lift your legs about 6 inches of the ground. Hold your arms straight out by your legs parallel to the ground with your palm facing up. You're just balancing there on your butt using every ounce of energy and strength you have in your core...

AND THEN GOOGLE CLIMBS ON YOUR THIGHS.

Seriously not okay. The amount of pain I was in after that was insane.

He seemed to really like today's workout and even joined me for cool down. By the time I was all done (she has us finish sitting Indian style), he was all curled up in my lap.

I think he's going to get locked away next time.
