Day 1 Hipcentric Metamorphosis

Hello everyone!


So, today I started my first day of my "Pre-Meta" training with Hipcentric. 

Oh boy.


First off, I decided to not worry too much about body measurements with this round, because the goal here is to strengthen myself up.  I am, however, tracking my weight.  Inches I am saving for Abcentric, which when I hope to really push myself to see results. 

I'm not saying I am not aiming for results this time- the goal is to drop some pounds here, of course, so when I get to Abcentric I am lighter and can move freely.

But yes, on to my workout that DID get done.  I sucked. I really, really sucked compared to before.  I know I shouldn't say those kinds of things about myself but hey, it was a reality check.

Dance Cardio:

I popped in the 30 day dvd and did one 10 minute segment of the cardio. Oh. My. God.  I wanted to die 2 minutes in.  My back hurt, my legs hurt, I was drenched with sweat with my barely-keeping-up step touching. I used to be able to do 30 minutes with Metamorphosis.


MS (Muscular Structure):

More disappointment.  I did the Level 1 workout.  Arms burned like hell. That was expected.  Abs burned like hell, that was also expected.  I was able to pull through all those reps.  Then reality set in- the legs.  I was barely able to do 5 reps of each move.

Five.

Given that I have gained a lot of weight lately, and have not worked out in FOREVER, I should have expected it, embraced it, and used it as a starting point.  But no, I had a moment where I felt like a hopeless utter, failtastic failure.

Then I talked to a friend (who is also working out) and she reassured me that it WILL get better and the scale WILL go down. 5 reps will turn to 10, and so on. *sigh*  The perfectionist in me hates this!

I am sitting here, sore, sweaty, hot, and hoping tomorrow is better.   Have a great night everyone!
