First workout

So, I made it 4 days without puking. The streak ended tonight, but I'm still feeling pretty good. So, I decided to do a workout. I chose One on One: Stretch & Recovery since it came in the mail recently and sounded pretty promising. Course, I had it in my head that it was titled Stretch & Relaxation... so the lack of relaxation was a little sad.

The workout was 70 minutes long. I was initially dreading the length, since it's been over a month since I've done a real workout (something more intense than walking). But, with stretching 70 minutes goes pretty quickly.

One thing that the workout reminded me of is that I tend to forget that I'm a pretty flexible person. At least half of the stretches in this workout are related to the hip area and many times I found the stretches easier than I thought I should. On a couple of different ones Tony would say something about 'if you're more flexible than me you can...' and I was able to switch to the modification. Flexibility is kind of funny to me... because I'm not as flexible as I used to be, but apparently I'm still more flexible than most. It always makes me think I'm doing something wrong when a move is easy for me. Now, that's not to say that there aren't some moves that are hard. My hamstrings and calves tend to be pretty tight.

It felt so great to do something! Course, as I type this I'm watching the fit test for Insanity! The hubby plans on this being his next fitness program... and I'm thinking 'good luck!' The name seems pretty well suited to what I'm seeing. And this is just the fit test.
