Whew! What a workout! Let's just say, whatever complaints or doubts I had about Week 1 being easier than I expected, Jillian made up for it with Week 2. Sweat was dripping off of me by the end and my muscles are already aching. Although this week is already much harder than Week 1, the exercises are really fun. I love how she incorporates boxing moves and has variations of classic moves like push-ups and sit-ups so that you don't get bored with the exercises. Crow push-ups are one variation that worked muscles I didn't even know I had. I'm expecting to be extremely sore tomorrow so I'll probably save tomorrow's workout for after school and hopefully I will have loosened up on my walk home from class.
Yesterday I met up with a friend after work to play some co-ed volleyball at a school near my house. I was extremely nervous because I haven't played volleyball since high school (almost three years) and was worried I was going to embarrass myself. Of course I wasn't at the level I was while I played competitively but I really surprised myself at how quickly my body remembered how to play (hitting was another story but hey, I was a setter so you can't really blame me!) I had a ton of fun playing and decided that I really need to make more of an effort to play volleyball because it's a sport I love to play and I get a lot of enjoyment out of it.
Tonight is another gym night with my cousin and my plan is to do my mile run (hopefully I can keep it under 8min30sec) and then work on core. I must say that although Ripped in 30 is kicking my ass, I really don't find the ab workouts to do much for me.
To health and happiness,
Jordana
