Wii Sports Active 2 - February 16 - 17, 2011

Yesterday was over the top with the workouts.  I got in my AM 9 week challenge work out and felt like I had lots of energy and am making improvements.  The kickups are still not reading correctly, but I keep pushing on anyways.  The heart rate monitor seems to be working normal.  I took the dog for his one mile walk at lunch and then had to do strength training too that night.  But I did it!



Today, however, was nuts!  The mountain climbers.... THE MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS... not once, but like four different sets of them at 65 each!  And the skipping, and the stride jumps - they went up to 110 each.  I had to keep pressing pause and pace around the room to regain myself.  I'm sure it made a difference that I didn't take my blood pressure medicine last night and my heart rate was up in the 150s when it is usually no higher than 140 at my hardest level.  Crazy... I thought the machine was trying to kill me.  With pressing the pause button I worked out a bit longer than the suggested 39 minutes, but it had to be...  And let's not forget to put a spotlight on the flutter kicks and reverse crunches, I had to do two sets of those at the end of the whole thing.  Knowing it was my last hard core Wii workout for the week I was able to make it through it.  I kept tellingy myself YOU CAN DO THIS!  When I thought there was no absolute way in hell... YOU CAN DO THIS!  And reminding myself that I was going to be completely lazy with the workouts for the next three days so suck it up and get it done.  AND I DID!!!!!  I had a waaaayyyyyy too big lunch, like 1800 calories worth, and tried to shurk out of my walk, but went anyway for one mile with the dog.  Tonight I am watching American Idol in my bed waiting for the sleep....
