Have I mentioned how much Run Lunges suck? I believe I have mentally blocked Run Lunges which is why I haven't posted anything about them up to now. In the cardio program, we first do the stretching, followed by yoga, and then the "real" cardio portion. This phase includes 30 seconds of Jumping Jacks, 30 seconds of running in place, and 30 seconds of the Run Lunges. I'm usually spent by the time I get to the Run Lunges which makes those little bastards even worse. We go through that phase twice!
The next phase isn't easy either. It includes the Lateral X work, then Quick Feet, and finally Cross Hops. This phase is okay but doesn't come close to the way I feel about the Run Lunges. I'll even take the Ab Ripper over the Run Lunges....and I hurt after the Ab Ripper!
On another note, Val and I travelled this past weekend to Valdosta, GA, to attend Val's stepbrother's wedding. On Friday, we started from Hickory and drove to Charleston, SC, to visit a prospect befoerr proceeding on to Valdosta. We arrived at around 10:30 PM on Friday and promptly went to bed. On Saturday, we enjoyed a bit of breakfast with family then went for our normal Saturday run. We followed that with lunch and the wedding. We visited further with family until around midnight and drove back to NC on Sunday. We stopped in Statesville for dinner before getting home around 8:30 PM where we made sure to do our scheduled Circuit training. Of course, we still got up at 6:30 AM this morning to do our cardio.
We may be taking this exercise thing a bit too seriously. Zombie Valerie is in her office mumbling something about eating brains.
Brains!
