DAY 4: CARDIO RECOVERY


Ahhhh. This was bliss.

Well, i'm thinking that now, after i've done the workout. But i must say it wasn't what i expected. At first, i thought it was going to be brutal like the rest of the workouts i've done so far. However, it was actually quite pleasant. Now saying this, don't be thinking...oh it must have been easy.

No, i was still sweating and still thought, please no..not another set.

Cardio recovery was made up of a series of strengthening stretches. We started with planks, however there were a few variations involving leg lifts whilst in plank, and they hurt. Then we had squats...now i like squats, having rather muscular legs i seem to be able to hold myself down in a squat without too many problems, however Shaun's take on squats had me begging for mercy. He had us hold down squats and pulse for what seemed like an eternity. Onto lunges on each side, again pulsing for ever and a day.

Each lot of actual exercises, had stretching in the middle, chest presses to the leg, flat backs etc. This workout seemed to focus a lot on balance and strengthening your core muscle (that's where the abs come from people!) Like i said, it wasn't easy but it was definitley more 'pleasant' than the rest of the crazy insane workouts we've been doing!

Now it's late and i've pretty much just finished my workout, i'm tired...so after my next post, i will bid you all adieu!
