Now What?

[Elitekross]

Hi yall. Back after a long time away from exercise, and a lot of life changes. I've been left wondering recently, "Now what".
And that what includes getting active again!

Starting with the Beginners Program, day 1 full body, chose the Shoalin Morning Flow, and it sure made me sweat!

Day 2 of the beginner program, low impact cardio. Went with the Soft Reset routine w 3 sets. I was definitely getting my heart rate up towards the end, and I was tempted to do more sets, but id rather start out slow to try to get the routine to stick.
The exercise itself would make a good "Cubicle workout" so I'll probably keep it around for when I need to loosen up at work, and the shoulder/biceps focus helped w/ where I tend to scrunch up my shoulders

Day 3, full body!
Went with the voyager workout I really felt it in my legs.

Day 4, full body
Went with Axis today, and gods above it was a rough one. Could barely finish the last set. My arms and my shoulders are definitely a weak point and I felt it, but I sure do feel looser

 

[Elitekross]

Day 5, cardio
My shoulders are still sore from Monday, so went w one that was more leg focused, zombie walk! Kept my arms moving but a lot lower impact and plenty of marching.

Day 6, a day late. Too busy Thinking About Things(tm) last night. Went with the shaiolin morning flow workout again, felt like I needed some stretching today

 

[Elitekross]

Day 7, full body
Went with Axis again, felt like it was the most impactful

 

[Elitekross]

Day 8, cardio
Went with Lazy Cardio with extra credit, cause I needed something fast and easy

 

[Elitekross]

Dayb9, full body
Went with shadow steps today

 

[Elitekross]

Forgot to report last night, day 10, full body, axis

 

[Elitekross]

Day 11, cardio
Went with Locked In, it really got my heart rate going

 

[Elitekross]

Day 12, forgot to do it yesterday, full body w the Axis

 

[Elitekross]

Went with the i feel lucky button, got Gaurd Duty for day 13, full body.
The calf exercise definitely hurt. Definitely need to work on my balance too. Otherwise the marching was nice and it has T-Posing for Dominance, so thats a plus.

 

[Elitekross]

Day 14 cardio. Went with another i feel lucky. Got Winter Shield, very arm intensive, my muscles are killing me

 

[Elitekross]

Day 15 full body, another issue feel lucky. got Easy Does it, and like all the arm focused ones, its got me feeling soar

 

[Elitekross]

Day 16 full body, the last week of this program! Got Not Perfect on the wheel of exercise, and it had t posing for dominance AND killer calf workouts (read me having to split the 20 sec calf raise as two 10 sec calf raises).

Thanks! I have a big poster version of the same image. Felt it was appropriate for a workout forum lol

Day 17, cardio, a day late.
Got I Am Enough, and the twists really helped stretch out my back

 

[Elitekross]

Day 18, the last day! Finished off with Axis again. If anyone has any program suggestions, im all ears

 

[Set Monje]

If anyone has any program suggestions, im all ears

Perhaps a calf raise challenge? 10 second holds, and totals you can split into smaller sets on alternating days

 

[Elitekross]

Thats a great idea. Ill probably add another challenge to go with later it but I've started day 1 of the calf challenge

 

[Elitekross]

I've been doing the challenge the last 5 days. Going to do 5 on, 2 off on this one. Looking forward to the higher numbers

 

[Elitekross]

I decided to add From Walking to Running to the workout. I've done it before and honestly, I love running so im excited to get my stamina back up

 

[Elitekross]

Im having trouble doing all the two minutes runs, I might do the first two weeks over again next week ro keep working up to it
