Asylum Round 2, Day 2 - Pam

I have got a great routine on the days that I go to work but today was a holiday for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.  Therefore I did my usual non-work-day procrastinating.  I lay in bed too long and then had to eat a proper meal before I was able to workout.  I then went through the usual 'I need to hold off a little after eating', 'I think I need to eat again to get a bit more energy'  etc.  This lasted until after 5pm and then I felt like I was in a good position to bring it.

Today's workout was 'strength'.  This has to be my favourite workout of all time.  I really do believe it is workout perfection.  It works you hard in cardio, strength and balance.  Not having done this workout for about 3 weeks, I couldn't quite remember which weights to use.  Shaun T and the others in the DVD stick to the same weight throughout the warm-up but I prefer to switch weights so I am pushing myself in each move, but also able to keep good form throughout.  It works for me!   The warm-up is TOUGH!  It seems to last a long time but the moves progress so it does bring you in safely, while warming up the muscles throughout your body.

I used 8.5kg on the chest/ab section, which felt like a lot heavier than I previously used.  My chest in particular really had to work hard to avoid 'smashing my face'.

The endorphins released during and after this workout are incredible!  It leaves you feeling so strong and capable.  Shaun T's words of motivation make you push beyond what you think you are capable of.  In a word: INCREDIBLE!
