I just finished my day 73 yesterday as well.
It was great. I love the Back and Biceps workout. It burns like hell, but afterwords it feels great, and the next day the biceps just seem to…bulge more (haha).

In reply to brad. Ohhhhh! Gotcha! I was thinking that was a lot! I think Yoga would be less painful, but I guess you would just have to test it out like you said. Staying in some of the poses might put it in a bad position. Hope it gets better!

In reply to brad. Sorry to hear that you rolled your ankle! Yea you probably do want take it easy on it so you don't make it worse. Yoga X, Cardio X and running does sound like a lot!! You may want to cut 1 or more of those out just until it gets better. I hope your ankle gets better soon!!

Kind of nervous about today. I rolled my ankle pretty bad a few days ago and it’s still in pain. Yoga/cardiox/running all 3 sound like they might be painful. Guess I’ll just ahve to test it and see what it can handle.

That’s what I usually do…but sometimes I do just do it before. I’ve been focusing on really squeezing my abs muscles and improving my form which helps push up the intensity for me. I was looking at weighted vests a few weeks ago too! At some point I’d love to get one of those and wear it during some of the workouts or even all of them. I’m sure wearing an extra 10-15 pounds would make a huge difference!

That’s happened to me before with the beans, so I know how you feel!

I’m sure it was just an off day or like you said from all those softball games! The Oblique V-ups and the Fifer Scissors are always the most painful for me. I can get through them, but they never seem to get less painful.

Have you considered trying ab ripper second? It might make the workout harder again. After all its not about getting it down, its about pushing yourself. I saw some weighted vests in the store today too, an extra 10-15 pounds would make some of those alot harder.

Anyways, done with my ab ripper for the day. I ate some beans today at lunch…terrible choice. They are ripping me apart and made the workout super hard. I’m going to wait til they die down before doing Shoulders and Arms. I feel like I reversed a little on ab ripper…oblique v ups killed me as well as the fifer scissors. Several others were harder than normal as well. I really think those softball games did a number on me. Man I’m getting old.
