So I finished day 2 of my new exercise regime. One word comes to mind. OW! Every day when I start up the workout, Maya (the virtual personal trainer), picks an area that she thinks I should work on. The first 2 workouts have been core body strength. These start off harmless enough, with some simple aerobics to get warmed up. She then takes you into all sorts of body twisting and deforming exercises that would seem easy, if I were a computer generated character dancing around inside an X-box. Crunches are now my nemesis, and Maya knows this somehow through some x-box enabled virtual to mental link. I see along the time line that I have to do 10 reps of right side crunches. I guess this would be fine, but I know that if I am doing right side, I will inevitably be doing left side as well. I scream in pain as I work my abs into oblivion and all she does is giggle and shout out “I’m feelin ya!” Then, of course, she lines up another set of right side crunches!
Over all I think I am doing good. The exercises have been tough, but do-able. I am guessing that is good because it’s killing pushing me. I am still glad I am doing this and, even though it’s causing me serious pain with being sore all the next day, I know that after a while I will be getting used to it and my body will stop cry out “dear gods what are you doing to me!”
Today is Thursday so that means that in less than four days Andrew will be here. We have been doing some super deep cleaning of the house in getting it ready. I know he will enjoy it here. Oh, and in all that cleaning…… Still no gloves found.
At least Mia likes you.
sorry Maya
