This post is a day late but it seems fitting to write it today because every time I move, I think about yesterday's workout. I am SORE. I had no idea what to expect with the Dirty 30: Cardio? Strength? Agility? Core? Stretching? It's entirely strength and again has four rounds with two exercises per round. I had to switch to lighter weights halfway through most of the exercises but I ALWAYS kept moving making sure my form correct. Whenever I used to get tired during my other at home DVD workouts I would either stop and take a break until the instructor and her students were finished or else just pause the DVD until I caught my breath. Now, I make sure that if I am tiring out or giving up I switch to the modifier for a few moves and then back to the original move. I've noticed that this keeps my heart rate up and lets me feel like I'm taking a break while still working my aching muscles.
On another note, after my workout, my sisters and I, along with my niece and nephew went to the first ever Pride March in Brandon, MB. It was a ton of fun and it was incredible to see this small rural community come together to support the LGBT community in Southwestern Manitoba. Not only were we showing our support and having a blast, we were also getting some great exercise in at the same time. A win-win!
