If the CROTUSman was looking forward to yesterday’s Yoga X, then the total opposite can be said about today’s re-introduction to Legs & Back. There are a couple of reasons for this. First, L & B is hard, and even though I came to appreciate it by the end of my first round, I’m not sure that I can say I ever really learned to enjoy it. Also, I ended up getting home later than usual last night so it was a pretty long day and I knew it was going to be tough getting out of bed today.
Anyway, the show must go on, right? I didn’t end up with a great calorie burn, but it was a pretty satisfying workout and as I get re-introduced to these moves, I hope to kick it up a few notches in the weeks to come. My numbers basically mirrored my week one numbers from the first round, though I did use more weight in some instances. I think I could have probably used more weight across the board, but I was a little fearful of the soreness that I know is going to follow.
The one area I’m a little disappointed/concerned about is the pull-ups. I know it’s only the first week, but I’m not happy with where I’m at on the pull-up bar. The first round of pull-ups wasn’t terrible, but by the time the second round came around, I was really relying on the chair a lot. I know that these numbers will go up, but I was hoping that I would be closer to where I ended up when the first round finished. Then again, I haven’t done any pull-ups in two months, so I guess it’s true – you do lose it if you don’t use it (apologies to Steve Carell).
Anyway, that’s it for the CROTUSman. I’ll be back tomorrow with Cardio Power & Resistance. Until then, TCB.
