Now I'm pretty far off the 60 day schedule I should be on, but it's still going ok! Days 31-36 I was away, having an incredible long weekend back home trying on a thousand wedding dresses, dancing to classic rock and metal like I was 20 again, and eating far too much cheese.
Finally got home late on Monday evening, and picked up the routine again on Tuesday - day 37.
So it's recovery week - yay! That doesn't mean an easy life, but it means 6 consecutive days of Core Cardio & Balance, a 40 minute workout designed to give your muscles a bit of a rest - but not too much. You do every exercise for a minute, but the transitions between exercises are a little gentler and slower, and the emphasis is on strength and balance, doing each exercise well with perfect form, rather than going as fast as possible like the other workouts. So you feel everything working - esp in the hip flexor burners and shoulder burners - but you don't get that same exhaustion. It does have one other slightly odd side effect - all the deep breathing and core strength means I yawn EVERY TIME. Lots. For most of the last 20 minutes of the workout.
So I've done 6 days of this now, and got a day off tomorrow - yay! But then on Tuesday I have another Fit Test, followed by an hour long work out from the new Max set of workouts for the second month. the next 30 days are going to be TOUGH.
