Day 5 Back on the Wagon

Okay so we are back on track.  The one day of rest was much needed and after today's workout was much appreciated.  I woke up today feeling refreshed.  I finally wasn't sore and felt pretty good. I definitely felt ready to get back to work.  Little things that have not been verified but that I have noticed since I started the program.  My legs feel tighter then before starting this program.  They don't feel as flabby or floppy as before.  I'm wishing now that i had done all the measurements the program suggested.  Also my core feels stronger and tighter.  I don't necessarily think I've gotten rid of any belly fat yet but my core does feel stronger.  I also feel like I'm getting more flexible nothing amazing yet but I am noticing little changes and that's pretty exciting for me. 
Today we did Pure Cardio and let me tell you what an ass kicker.  This video was non stop go go go.  the moves in this video were hard because you go so fast for so long.  I definitely burned some calories during this video. I hated the push-up jacks and the squat jumps (john calls those burpies) but I suck at regular push ups and regular squats so no surprise for me that these were the two hardest exercises for me to accomplish.  As hard and as fast as this video was I really did enjoy it.  I felt awesome after this work out.  Tired but not burned out.  Workouts like this one will really help me with my marathon training.   The only thing i need to work on now is how to keep my calfs from getting so tight so fast.   Tomorrow come a new workout and then prep for our trip to the beach--Jill

Got back on the wagon today.  Did a decent cardio work out.  It was a good one.  Certainly got our moneys worth.  I need to get my cardio up even more.  I'm not gassing at BJJ as much like I used to.  I dont know what it is, but I'm not getting my butt kicked anymore.  I've enjoyed watching Jill bust her butt through the last couple of sessions.  It should pay off for the half marathon we're doing in June.  Although we'll not only need to kick up the cardio but also get a little weather acclimated with the high temps around lake meade during that time.  It is interesting how we end up watching Man v. Food after our workouts every night.  Well folks see you punks on the flip-side!!! John
