Good Bye Week 7... Hello Recovery Week!!!

2-19-10
It is finally Friday. This week has been extra busy and I’m glad that it’s almost over. I’m really excited to sleep in a little bit tomorrow (maybe I can make it to 6:30 or so). It’s amazing to think that for 7 weeks, I have been up before 5:00 and I’m still going strong. Legs was tough as always. I felt pretty strong, but body fatigue is certainly in play. Nothing really all that different today other than I’m pretty pumped that next week is recovery week.

Well, I didn’t get time to post the Friday workout in the blog, so I’m doing that today. I was extremely sore in my legs for Kempo. Having Sunday off is always nice, but I was really sore. Then we got to Yoga this morning. I’m not quite sure what was going on this morning, but Yoga was extremely tough. My shoulders hurt more than I ever remember them hurting with Yoga. My back is really sore as well. I powered through it, but it was strange to be this sore/weak following a day off. I didn’t eat all that well this weekend, but I didn’t pig out on ice cream or anything. I just ate too much. I would think that would just give me energy. My real theory is that my body is spent and needs a rest. That’s why we’re on recovery week. I’m kind of excited for core synnergistics tomorrow. It’s just nice to get to do something different. Another thing I noticed about my body today was that my abs didn’t burn nearly as much as usual on the Yoga Belly 7s. I’m not really sure how to explain this, but instead of feeling the isolation of each area of the abs, I felt that everything was engaged together, which made it easier. Not sure if this is a good thing for working hard, but seems like a good thing for body control purposes. I don’t know… I’m just pushing play.
