This is good and bad.
Good that I never have to do that again. Bad because I'm guessing what replaces it (workout #5) will be much much much worse.
But I think continuing to up the intensity will help me progress tremendously. I'm still totally sucking when it comes to *almost* everything plank related, but today I finally mastered the plank walkouts (you stand straight and then without bending your knees you put your hands down on the ground, walk your hands out into a plank, hold it, then walk your hands back to standing). I was really quite pleased with myself on that one.
I also noticed that for the sumo squat tricep move I am using heavier weights than Jillian and crew, so yay me.
I'm finding that I really enjoy my evening routine with the Jillian workouts...I typically work out pretty late, but that's because I get home from the office kinda late and then need to eat dinner and I don't want to jump right into working out. By the time I workout and shower...it's time to put on my pjs and crawl into bed (with my laptop of course, so I can check in with you all and tell you that I'm still in the zone).
Also, dare I say I'm starting to have pretty defined arm muscles?! Definitely starting to notice lots of changes, got a new belt probably late last year that I originally could only wear on the first hole, when I started BR I was pretty regularly wearing it on the second hole, and today I had to wear it on the fourth hole.
Ahhhhh and that's it for tonight...I've got about 10 minutes of time to read more of The Hunger Games before I fall asleep.
Way to go, Erin!! You are seriously rocking the workouts these days! WOO HOO!!!
