Trip Like I Do

Firming Again

December 25, 2006

I took Thursday and Friday as rest days. Partly because I was tired and partly because my Mom decided to stay up late those nights watching the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

Saturday night I did the Firm’s Complete Aerobics and Weight Training from BSS2 again.  I really like this workout.  It is definitely one of my favorite Firm’s.

I got through it okay, except that I did have to stop in the middle to stretch my back out.  Grrr.

I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do Sunday night.  I was thinking about going down and using the treadmill, but my Mom and I went to a Christmas party and I just wasn’t able to make it down there before we had to go.

I should have done a pure cardio workout, but I didn’t feel like that either.  So instead I did the Firm Parts: Standing Legs workout.

OMFG, it’s a tough workout.  It’s basically about 45 minutes, (including warm up and stretch), of lunges, squats and leg presses.  It’s called a Firm Parts video because it is a compilation of exercises from the first 6 Firm workouts.  I haven’t done this one in a looooooong time and I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to make it through, but I did.  Well, I did have to stop a couple of times to stretch my back out, again, (sigh), but I did it!  Woot!

I also wanted to do some ab work after that, so I did the ab workout from the Firm Volume 6 off of the Firm Parts 5 Day Abs video.

Grrr, I wish I knew what it was exactly that causes my lower back to hurt so much when I do some videos.  I really try to watch my form whenever I work out, so it shouldn’t be from bad form.  I think I get back pain because my abs must be weak.  At least I hope that it is what it is.  At least I can rectify that by working on my belly more.
