Fitness Friday // Live Fit Phase 2 – done!

Remember how last Friday I said I wanted to do yoga at least 2x/week?  Even a 20 minute Yoga Download session?  Why didn’t anyone remind me because apparently I forgot…If we’re lucky, I’ll do 20 minutes later this afternoon so this won’t be a complete fail.  If we’re lucky…

Other than that, I have successfully completed Phase 2 of the Live Fit program.  I’m definitely happy about the incorporation of more abdominal work and cardio, but some workouts take me 90+ minutes to complete which makes morning workouts impossible some days.  (If my gym wanted to open before 5 it’d be a different story.)  I’m noticing my strength improving but on some of the more challenging strength exercises, I’m getting frustrated as they don’t seem to get any easier.  I don’t know that I would actually expect them to but maybe kinda sorta…maybe.

Anyway, I’m looking forward to seeing what Phase 3 has in store as I challenged myself not to look ahead from my current phase at any point and I’ve stuck to that.  Phase 3 is the final phase so I’m really hoping to start seeing all the puzzle pieces come together.

I’ve also had a bit of an injury (?) this week.  My left ankle has felt a little sore so I’ve been taking it easier on the cardio and took an extra day off.  Because of that and feeling a bit better today, I did half of yesterday’s leg workout but I definitely wasn’t feeling 100% because my ankle did not enjoy my attempt at cardio or some of the strength moves.  I’m going to keep my eye on it for the next few days.

I’m off to walk to the bank so I can do laundry!
