Day 16--Cardio

What did she do?!

*gasp*

Our lovely fitness challenge leader changed the workout. It is not that she simply added more moves or harder moves, it's that she changed it to 50 seconds of work followed by ten seconds of rest. Ten! That's it!

*deep breath*

Yep, that'll get the cardio going alright.

One thing I don't like is that she doesn't actually squat. Whether that's a bad form issue or a muscle imbalance issue for her, I do not know. But it was very evident with the jump squats today. She simply hinged at the hips to touch the floor, stood, and then jumped. The knees bent very little. So it was more like a dead lift with a jump. And the jump should be propelled by the squat itself. It shouldn't be a come to standing and then hop kind of thing. Of course, that's hard to do if you aren't actually squatting.

I was very happy today that, despite the decrease in rest time, I did not have to stop for an unofficial break until halfway through the workout. Also, I would like to get to the point to where, during the swirl stretch, I can bend and touch my face to the floor. When I started, I couldn't get anywhere near there. Though it has only been two weeks, I noticed some improvement today. My chest can officially come down low enough to touch my leg. Getting closer!
