Hip Hop Abs: Day 4

So I decided to follow the workout schedule (shown here) and not  work out yesterday in order to rest my body. Although, a part of me did want to work out because I am really enjoying the Hip Hop Abs DVD.  

In today's workout I endured another high tempo session of "Fat Burning Cardio" for 30 minutes. On the bright side I did not have as much discomfort as the first time I completed the workout. I'm hoping that the more I do this specific session, the less challenging it will be for me. I wonder how challenging the other workouts will be. 

Either way I WILL get my abs!

Hip Hop Abs: Day 2 Soreness

Oh. My. Gosh.

I can't even begin to explain the stiffness in my back right now. For a brief moment when I woke up everything was fine. Then BAM! Tightness, soreness, and a hint of pain was all I could think of. The hubby says that the workouts that I am doing at the moment are targeting my core, and back, and that is something I have never done before. Here is my basic workout schedule for the moment:

Even though I was feeling extremely sore this morning (I still am), I knew I had to continue with the program. Today I wanted to switch things up a bit and do "Cardio Grove". It was SUPER fun and a bit challenging for a person with a stiff back. There were some funky moves like "Afro Slide," Kriss Kross," and the Smooth Walk. I hope that the more I work out the less sore my body will be. If not, I'm just going to have to work out every other day.

Wish me luck!
