Today's workout just about caught my legs on fire. :)

I mentioned earlier how sore I was after Monday's workout, with the leg extensions, jump squats, squat thrusts, side lunges, & lunges with shoulder raise... all topped off with the 12mph sprints. I was still sore TODAY from Monday/Tuesday, so guess what? Yup, today was a repeat of Monday. I'm not too bad off tonight, but I'm expecting to be hit in the morning.

I almost forgot, today was DAY 11. Same workout as Monday, but I also managed to do a 5-minute run @ 6.5mph at the end. I would have gone longer but my boss would have had my head if I ran a half hour. Heh.

So that was 40 minutes of circuit training plus 5 minutes of jogging, totalling 368 calories burned.

I thought I was going to be able to jog today, but my boss had me working on a computer all day. I quote: "You need to do what you have to do to get this computer ready by the end of the day. Like, don't work out. I realize you have to eat, but don't work out."

By the time I got the opportunity to jog, it was too late in the day. I would have come back at 4 and left at 4:30. So I didn't. I suppose it was for the best, my legs were still burning from Monday & Tuesday.

Back at it tomorrow!

You know after yesterday's workout, I felt like I'd done some work, but didn't really feel like I had gotten anything out of it if you know what I mean. I did enjoy a lot of the new exercises (especially the ones at the crossover station, that's just a cooool machine).

So this morning when I woke up, I could barely move. I'm not sure if it was the wood choppers, the leg extensions, or just a combination of all of them but I tell you... yeow! I hadn't felt this sore since when I first started working out! So you think it's doing something? :)
