Ok it's stretch day again. No cardio stuff just a lot of stretching and yoga type stuff to make those muscles supple and help them for the cardio work.
Last week I was crap at this. Losing balance, not being able to hold the positions and really feeling muscle pain when stretching, so I really wanted to make an improvement today.
One thing I picked up on during the workout this time was Shaun saying to breath through the stretch. I did this and it seemed to take my mind of the pain of the stretch and the holding time of the stretch seemed to go faster.
One thing I was pleased with was that I managed to touch the floor in one of the stretches, that shows I am more flexible as I couldn't get near last week. My balance was better too, not tipping over for some of the positions you need to hold.
Last week I really felt the pain from the squat pulses. You would go in to a squat position and then hold it there, which was painful enough. Then you would move up and down slightly to pulse the muscles. I gave up on them last week but managed them this week. The only problem is though that they do tend to make you fart while pulsing!!
I felt good after the workout - its called Cardio Recovery but there is no cardio - so it'll be interesting to know if I'm sore tomorrow.
