I did the 3 sets of the core and 2 of the main workout. I don't like that there was an option on the amount of sets. If it had said 3 I probably would have done 3 but that was a great excuse to only do 2. I didn't go snowshoeing this morning because Jared and I thought it would be fun to go tonight because it is a full moon but now it is a not looking to pleasant out there. It was beautiful this morning, dang it.
ReplyDeleteI did yesterday's workout. It just didn't happen for me yesterday and it looked like a fun one. I only did 3 sets and it took me over 30 min.
ReplyDeleteI did the 3 sets of core and the workout. I used 15 lb. weights and now my arms don't feel flabby, they just feel like JELLO! I liked this kind of workout, but I hate that I feel like I haven't worked out if there isn't running involved. I was sweating just as much as when I run though! =)
