Day 5: Best Day So Far!!

Today was INTENSE!! The workout today was Pure Cardio, 38 minutes of moving fast and sweating big juicy bullets! It was the best day that I’ve encountered so far with this entire weight loss journey!!

We started out with a light warm up…and if you just read that last fragment and thought I was serious, you’re insane! The warm up is never light. Lol. We did four sets of Jog, Jumping Jacks, Heisman, Double Heisman, Butt Kicks, High Knees, then Mummy Kicks. And, with every round, we had to go faster and faster. I paused the video a few times because my husband woke up and was watching me! (I’m cool if he’s doing it with me, but to be watching me is kinda creepy. Lol.)  Once he fully awoke, he left the room and I was free to jiggle with no eyes watching. The warm up was about 12 minutes long.

Onto stretching! The stretch was about 6 minutes. (This is one of my favorite parts of the videos because it’s a break!) It’s always a nice way to cool down a little bit. I usually don’t like looking at the clock in the bottom left hand part of the screen just because I know that every time I look, I’m that much closer to an/a ___ kicking. (Fill in the blank.)

So, the stretch is over and it’s time to start the 14 minutes of constant exercise. (In the last four videos, they’d always have three or four minutes of exercise then a 30 second water break. Not this time!!) It seemed to go by pretty quickly though. We jumped a lot, did a few football exercise sets, pretended to be jumping frogs, and we even did a move that I always associated with Bringing Down the House. Queen Latifah gets in a fight with this blonde girl in the bathroom. Check out the link to understand what I’m talking about…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OG1lSthrFaA at 1:19. Super hilarious!! (We did that for 30 seconds on each leg…youch!)

Anyway, today was fun. I enjoyed the workout more than any other I’ve been through and I was sweating like MAD!! I even noticed a few drops sliding down my face. (If you can’t picture it, you don’t have to; I took a picture for you!)

By the way, I always weigh on Monday mornings as soon as I get up and after I use the restroom (Hey, you’d be surprised how much that stuff weighs.) So, only a few more days and I get to see how the first week went.
