INSANITY. Day 4.

By
Today is Cardio Recovery Day. I gotta tell ya, I like this day.

What I find interesting is how my previous training is helping/not helping during this series. Plyometrics? Never did it. Too hard to motivate myself to do it solo. And I wasn't convinced that it could benefit me in my running. Hahahahaha. As we get older we get wiser. But leg work? I've done massive amounts of leg work. So many of the resistance moves Shaun T. employs I've done before. That's not to say they're easy, but I have an easier time doing them. Upper body? Yeah I trained with weights but only recently did I start to incorporate pushups. I want to start doing pullups at some point as well BECAUSE I have come to a groundbreaking realization:

For practical upper body strength, pushups and pullups are all you need. All the other stuff is a great addition but it's like flowers on the cake. Gorgeous, and if they're made with sugar tasty, but not actually vital to the cake's existence. Another example: I thought I was strong and buff lifting weights. And I was, to an extent. But when I added pushups my ability to carry, push, and pull (necessary when you have two kids and a husband away for basic training) increased exponentially.

Damm's thoughts on Cardio Recovery Day? A lot more muscle burn than the other days and he thinks he should include more yoga workouts because he's finding out how inflexible he is. Me too, actually.

And that's Day 4.

Sub-Teach, On monday, I had about 80% of this written as a reply to your comment before I figured I should just drop it into a post. Yay for thought spam from simple commentary. To be clear: I'm not anti-our-current-president. I didn't like his solution for the recession(the bailout(which was started by our previous president)) but I'm certainly not blaming the recession on him. I understand that it was my dear party that thought you could spend AND cut taxes at the same time. I'm not really in favor of the way in which the other party wants to extend the tax cuts(cutting some and not others). I would rather we let all of the tax cuts expire and everyone equally paid a little bit more. BUT I'm really not happy with the idea that we can extend all of them when we are in record levels of national debt, which is what my party espouses. No our current president didn't have much time to fix the economy...and any good/harm he did probably won't be evident

So Beowulfa recieved the Burning Crusade as one of her many christmas presents. As a side note, she also recieved a picture of a chick with a pet lion. Sort of like Angharad. Anyways, we're poking Drenai characters in a "ooo that would be cool" kind of way. Since it was her birthday present and all... and if the characters were not BElf or Spacegoat then it wouldn't be using the present! So we're going to at least get them to 10. And BElf's are too... pretty in an ugly way. I don'ts like them. She doesn't like them(much?). I said Spacegoat. She quickly created a male drenai priest(this morning). We talked about it at lunch and she's going to make a paladin instead, I think. I slightly warned her off of priest because I've heard they solo about as well as a warrior heals. I'm.... undecided. We have warrior, paladin, mage, priest, shaman, hunter. I've been told I need to be something tankish. So mage and priest are gone. I'm definin
