I got up early so I could workout before work. I was a little sore from the fit test,
particularly in my quads and my back.
That makes sense, since those are probably the muscles I use least on
the elliptical. It is two days later as I write this, so I am trying to
remember the exact exercises, but I think I already blocked that hell from my
mind, ha!
Day 2 started off with a warmup, which already left me
gasping for breath and sweating. I was very thankful for the next section, which
was stretching, for a little bit of a break. Next up were two interval
sections. You get a 3 minute session
with various exercises, then a water break, then repeat two more times, getting
faster each time.
Level 1 drills, or whatever you want to call them, SUCK. I think it went something like – stand up,
bend door, go to push up position, 4 pushups, run in pushup position for 8
seconds, stand up, back down, and on and on.
Whew! I wanted to kill Shaun T
after this one. In and out pushups were pretty rough as well, especially since they were right at the end of the set!
By the end of the workout, I was pretty sweaty and
TIRED. I was definitely shaky and needed
to rest a few minutes before showering and getting ready for work. I felt ok, although my legs were feeling the
pain the most. Walking down stairs was
particularly difficult, as my quads right above my knees were getting sorer by
the moment. By the end of the day, I was
hurting pretty good in those quads. Not
in a bad way, but in an I-just-worked-muscles-that-haven’t-felt-a-stretch-in-forever
kind of way. Once I got home and sat
down on that couch, it was tough to get back up.
