Body Max and week in review

[Guest guest]

I am still doing CTX Express, but I never do it 5 days in a row. I split it out into two or three weeks.. Since it's cardio plus one body part per day, that means that I need to insert a total body workout here and there. I hadn't done Body Max in years! It used to be a favorite. It was my Sunday workout for a while there. 

I think it's funny that the step routine was safely stored away in some dusty corner of my brain. It came back as if I had done it recently. Funny.

I wanted to keep it low impact since I had that unplanned 10 mile walk in my Converse low tops yesterday. So, I didn't put any risers under the step, and I kept most of it low impact. I used my minimal running shoes so that I could listen to the signals coming from my feet. I get a little excited on that last power segment with the side to side jumps. I didn't modify those.

My final modification was the abs. I did my own cycles of plank, down dog, rear plank, bridge pose, bike maneuver, and side planks. 

THAT FELT AWESOME!  The sore throat didn't return. Here's the week. 03/17/12      Yoga:
