happy almost afternoon!!! snow still not plowed but thankfully nowhere near the snowfall we had in december!
deciding to finish my cathe friedrich pre order dvds, i tried cardio core circuit. of the ones i previewed i thought this would easier because of the simple exercises,no equipment required, and short cardio bursts!
well i was WRONG!!! this was hard to keep up with. i believe the impact/intensity of the cardio burst with short short rests made it hard. a lot of other factors could have been in play lack of proper amount of fuel and not enough rest but even then i think this workout would have been hard. i modified a lot and even at 100% i might have to modify just a little less then i did.
3 cardio burst repeated 2x circuit style with a core exercise between each circuit. these core exercises aren't your run of the mill ab work. some are conditioning drills of MMA,some require not just abs and back but also upper body and even lower body,as does some of the cardio exercises.
this goes beyond cardio IMO, this is cardio strength conditioning. you are working and fatiguing muscles while getting your heart rate up and strengthening core of the body.
i liked it and the music and cathe helped me push threw,but i just had such a hard time keeping it as is. modifying isn't a bad thing at all BUT when you workout like i do and you have to modify it humbles you and sometimes makes you mad LOL.
but this is a good thing sometimes because this gives a goal to work towards and sees where improvements in strength can be made. so a moment of sulking will give me a day to plan a new idea of where i want to take my rotation so i know how i can get my strength to a good point.
