After being close to a burn out with 6 workouts per week I decided to change my approach.I am going back to bodyweight exercises which I enjoy much more than weight training. After all working out is supposed to be fun and not a struggle each time. What weight training is for me. It was not just a matter of getting started and then during the exercises I would enjoy what I am doing. In this case it would suck all the way.
Therefore I decided to follow the 5 week challenge which Zuzana recently posted on her blog BodyRock.tv. It is combining proper nutrition (similar to the BFL approach) with her body weight workouts. Which I enjoy a lot! I am really looking forward to this one. Trying to adjust my diet to get the best possible results and learning from failure is something I enjoy. I want this journey to be fun and I think with Zuzana it will be. Especially because she is such a great motivator.
On saturday I did her Fitness - Jacked Up Chick Workout which gave me this crazy muscle ache on sunday.
To ease the pain a little I tried some yoga. My first time ever but it did help with the muscle ache. I found this great site through youtube. On yogayak.com they offer free yoga classes. For me it was a great alternative to going to a class on sunday. It was fun, relaxing and well explained. Even for me as a total beginner. I did the Easy Ground Work exercises. I will definitely visit this site more often now.
