WORKOUT BREAKDOWN 

I worked out despite feeling a touch of soreness all over my freaking body. I focused on lower body because my rear delts got the worse part of yesterday’s workout. (Wide Pushups rock!)

ZWOW 38: I used a 10-lb dumbbell for the Swings and had to adjust my pace because of my soreness. (To be honest, I don’t know if I could have gone any faster either way. Split Squat Jumps aren’t my favorite thing in the world.) I also screwed up with my timer, so I don’t have an accurate idea of how long it took me to complete the 3 rounds. Estimating by my workout playlist, I would say… around 23 minutes? 

I followed that with POP Pilates’ Long Lean Legs. I kept up with it pretty well until the Chair Pose section at the end. This is one of my favorite lower body (legs and butt workout from Blogilates. THEN…then I basically KILLED MY INNER THIGHS by doing an AMRAP of the Thigh Squeeze Roll Up in a song workout format! I love this move, but I’d never tried to do it for 4 minutes straight. Big, torturous difference. The move targets the inner thighs and core, and the harder you squeeze the Ball, the more your inner thighs will burn. Burn is pretty much guaranteed with this one. I think I squeezed A LITTLE TOO HARD.
