Week 1
It's official, this program is tough. I have been as stiff as a board all week, but I am loosening up a little recently. The workouts are odd in that they make me try awkward moves that I would never think of, but it's efficient in that I am working muscles that I have never worked before. I never feel like any particular muscle has been strained to the point of deep soreness that I would get when I weight trained, but I am just sore all over now. I think this is the point of the program, becoming legitimately fit, not just for aesthetics, but performance.
I really like the chest, back, and legs workouts because I get to use weights. Also, they end the workouts with 16 minutes of "ab ripper x" which is pure mid-section torture. However, easily the toughest workouts are plyometrics and yoga. Plyometrics is jump training and I literally am dripping buckets of sweat by the end of it, one word: brutal. Yoga is the opposite, slow movements, and holding awkward positions for elongated periods, same thing though, sweating buckets of sweat at the end. Finally, even Kenpo is pretty taxing if you put 100% effort into it.
It has only been one week, but already I can tell my muscles are starting to adapt. There is a little pump going on in my triceps and biceps, I think my upper abs a little more evident than when I started and don't even get me started about my ding dong. Today was my break , but tomorrow I start up week 2. Let you guys know how that goes.
Seacrest.... out.
