It was time for workout number 3 again, Cardio Power & Resistance, last done on Sunday. I couldn't remember before the start what it was like, so just got stuck in.
It was s standard warm-up then a few minutes of stretches. I noticed today I was better at the stretches. I can get closer to touching the floor, probably because of tighter abs and more flexible leg muscles. The main workout had belt kicks in it and I found these much better today. However, the V-push ups still bloody hurt. These are like a push up but your body is in a V position. Your hands are turned in to point each other, the push ups work the triceps and you can really feel them working.
The 40 minute workout went quite quickly. Just before the stretch cool down I took my heart rate and blood pressure. Heart rate was 123 and blood pressure 134/74, so much better than when I did the fitness test at the start of the programme.
Finished off with the shake and I thought I recovered much faster than I previously have. I must admit I am dreading tomorrow because it is the 60 minute Pure Cadio and Cardio Abs. Friday is my busy day too and don't get home until late, so I'm hoping I'm not too knackered and can put in a good effort.
