Half way through.....week 3 at least

Well today was pretty much the mid point of week three and it was cardio recovery, which meant it was  a little more of lighting my legs on fire for 30 minutes and stretching. I know during the workout it burns like crazy and then for a few hours after that my legs are a little tender but by the end of the day I feel much better and ready to go for the next workout. Let me tell you how yesterday went since I didn't have time to post like I would have liked to, yesterday was pure cardio and cardio abs and like I said I was looking to get through the abs DVD without having to stop like I did the first time and I also wanted to make sure that I could get through the pure cardio DVD, that one always makes me nervous but hey the start of every workout makes me nervous because I know how disappointed I will be with myself if I don't get through the video without stopping and trust me the last two workouts, plyo circuit and pure cardio I came close to having to stop but I pushed on and made myself finish without the break. I know that I might have suffered on form a little bit but I kept the work going and that is important to me, next time it will be a focus on form. After Monday I will have my rest day and it will be on to the final week before recovery week then the portion I have been most worried about, the max workouts. I know those are going to be a killer, as a matter of fact, I have a guy that posts on a thread that I run who is an animal when it comes to fitness, he posted once about how hard and deflating the max workouts were and then one more time since and we have not heard from him again. I figure if that guy got defeated by the Max workouts how am I going to do? Well I guess we will know soon enough. As for the abs DVD, I did get through the workout without having to stop on that one as well but I was barely getting the reps out by the end of the c-sit section but I got it done so I was happy to get through both workouts yesterday without stopping. I was soaked when I was done, and felt great about doing it but man did I have to push. Recovery went well today, I didn't do all that great on the balance stuff but when you have a two year old pulling on you it becomes hard to stand on one leg. I look at it this way, falling over once or twice because your daughter is in the room watching you work out and setting a good example is totally worth it.
