The only thing I noticed is that I'm not quite as tired as I was on day one. After the work out, I was a bit fatigued, but not to the point of wanting to lay in corpse pose for the rest of the day.
Also, I'm getting better at the side lunge with shoulder raise. They still really hurt (okay, that's an exaggeration, they're just tough), but I don't feel like I need to rest after only three. I've definitely pin-pointed that my weakest part of my upper body is my shoulders. Hence why push ups are also hard. Really really hard.
Oh and I discovered that I was kind of doing the bicycle crunches wrong! They're a lot harder the real way...ouchies. But, it's all about form right Jillian? So that's what I focus on.
Run!
I was hesitant to run today. I knew I had to, I just wasn't sure I'd be up to the whole 4 miles. I decided to try something new, and walk to 99, run down to Stapleton, tackle the steep side of the hill, and run back through my neighborhood. It was definitely a challenge, but a good one. I made it roughly to the top of the steep side before walking down the other side. I took a short walking break along 99 because my knees began to hurt, and I didn't want to ruin any chance of running again. I took it easy on the way home, briefly walked (and I mean for about 15 feet) once, and pounded it out on the way home.
It felt really good. I think my body prefers running to shredding; which I never thought I'd say. And THAT feels even better.
