Day 2 & 3 (Sorry for the Wait)

Hey guys, 

So, a lot has been going through my mind since finishing Day 1 of the workout. 

1. WARNING : Never go 3 weeks without working out ! 

After Day 1 of working out I felt fine until I woke up the next morning. My legs and butt were so sore. I could barely walk and sitting hurt. It wouldn't be that big of a deal except for the fact that I have to sit through lecture and walk back and forth to class. I thought to myself "No pain, No gain" and although that may be true, the pain was no fun! Even during my day off Wednesday, my legs continued to hurt. Now I know that I should continue to stretch and do some moderate exercises at home even if I cant go to the gym often while on break from school :)

2. The workout is set so that you have time to allow the different areas of your body to rest 

After Day 1 I felt that I had not done enough cardio and I really wanted to lose calories and work on my stomach. I thought about running more on the treadmill or getting on the Elliptical but I decided to stick to the routine. I wont know how effective the workout really is if I start doing whatever I want. I am no pro, I should follow a routine and trust that the person with more experience knows a thing or two lol. I realized Day 2 was focused on arms for a reason. It was definitely helpful but it was not too intense therefore my legs could rest and I wouldnt cause any further pain to my body. 

VERY IMPORTANT

The less you try to cram more things into your workout, the more you may be willing to stick to it. By trying to over do it you will over work yourself and will decrease your motivation. Have patience and allow your body to shape and form over time. I am pretty sure it didnt get the way it did over night. So do not expect change in 24 hours!!!1 

3. DON'T  be afraid to ask for help 

Many of the exercises I am doing are new to me. I do not know the proper way to lift the weights or use the machines. That doesnt mean I should half - a** it or skip it. What would be best for yourself is to ask for help. I had to get out of my comfort zone and ask some guys if I was using the Tricep Rope Pull correctly. Before Tuesday I didnt even know what the heck that was! Eventually I will get the hang of the routine and all the different exercises and gym equipment. Its a process.
